Rakalf Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 So are servers up now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAkemi Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I wonder where my Agent will rematerialise. The 15 minute warning came during the HK-47 fight in the Foundry and my team were still in the flashpoint when the servers went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Luke_ Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 What about an in-game title for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixam Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I know for some like myself SWTOR is love SWTOR is life. But why does it feel like I am the only person who doesn't get annoyed or angry when the game is down. Guys working on the game, keep ip the good work i love this game so much I don't get annoyed either, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Keith (my boss) and I were talking about this very thing. We certainly want to reward the good (not exploiting and reporting it) over the bad (exploiting). Maybe we can do something like this in the future! I just imagine everyone waiting around for us to introduce an exploit so everyone can start spamming my inbox and CS with reports to get their reward lol. -eric I think a CC grant would be a great "thank you" (and encouragement). You don't need to reward everyone, but the one that leads you to the real issue (most detailed) would certainly be deserving of a 5000 coin reward imo. Maybe offer 100cc to others who help, but I do like the idea of rewarding people who report it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terromang Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The reward is knowing you did the right thing. If you see a crime happening and you call the cops you expect to get money for reporting it? It's your civic duty to do right, otherwise you'd be no better than the criminals. Being better human beings than the criminals, that's the reward. oh man...yeah its a massive crime to do a exploit, so massive that we compare it to being a real life criminal...gee. fanboys of BW will keep doing comparisons that are just to much... dont like exploiters but I see em as just that, not as a major criminal, it needs to be stopped but lets not go over the top in what it is.

SonyaLuca Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 So when will the servers be up again? As in, how long time till it's up? I read it should only take 45 mins, but that time period seems to have come and passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickmanUK Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 For a Reward.. Maybe a Title for Confirmed Exploits that are Reported (Only one) They used to do that in City of Heroes for it... "Bughunter" was a rather exclusive title as a reward as it was only the person that gave the first report that got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPryde Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 why are the servers still down if the issue is fixed? That is what I was wondering too... Just came home from work, wanted to play, saw the dev tracker messages... but they are many hours old and so the question is... why are the servers still (or again?) down?

Costello Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I got the impression it was fixed, do we have an ETA on when they might be back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimioDeVassur Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 maybe the extra time is needed to take away some more achievements (like they did with blizz in 5.1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andryah Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) I just imagine everyone waiting around for us to introduce an exploit so everyone can start spamming my inbox and CS with reports to get their reward lol. -eric I can imagine all the false positives you will have in your inbox that you have to sort through to find real from unreal if you announce and provide a rewards program for reporting exploits. Maybe just keep it informal.. and on a good will basis so you don't get over run with chaff reports. It is good to reward good behavior... just not to incentivize it.... because said incentive would get attempts to exploit by some as well.

Dev Post EricMusco Posted January 27, 2017 Author Dev Post Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hey folks, Quick update, the servers aren't going to be up quite as quick as I said before.

I don't think it's stupid at all. I think this is a wonderful idea, especially regarding communication. They could develop a small thing such as title (Scourge of Exploiters, Deposer of Exploits, etc), grant CC (as Tuxxy mentioned), maybe a mount, or a choice of a Cartel Market item.

Here's a dime for your time. Spend it wisely. Guess the hot fix wasn't as simple as it came off as, huh? Hope you guys find a solution soon Eric!

New ETA is another 30 minutes from right now, apologies for the delay. -eric Thank you for the update Eric, and again, for increased communication! Please keep it up in preparation for 5.2 (and beyond of course!). I can imagine all the false positives you will have in your inbox that you have to sort through to find real from unreal if you announce and provide a rewards program for reporting exploits. Maybe just keep it informal.. and on a good will basis so you don't get over run with chaff reports. It is good to reward good behavior... just not to incentivize it.... because said incentive would get attempts to exploit by some as well. /Agree. I also recommend it should be kept at the discretion of Tait, Eric, their superiors, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyGoodness Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 how much left? cant stand this thing called "IRL", the home flashpoint with the endboss: the wife wants me to do the dishes.. Just LoS and heal to full, you'll do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably dont realize how hypocritical you sound. how much left? cant stand this thing called "IRL", the home flashpoint with the endboss: the wife wants me to do the dishes.. Once you do the dishes there is a small chance for a bonus boss in the bedroom. Sometimes spawns on the couch too.
