docbenwayddo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Servers in Europe are based in Ireland mate. What is the problem in implementing patches and take down servers in different hours? a days pay for the person switching buttons? It is common sense dude This would likely lead to EU servers being down right now for the fixt, since they'd have been patched and failed earlier, and they would possibly have not patched the US servers and just let them play 5.4 until they new 5.4a was working. It seems it might still screw with the EU playerbase, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualMorrigan Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Servers in Europe are based in Ireland mate. What is the problem in implementing patches and take down servers in different hours? a days pay for the person switching buttons? It is common sense dude Always wondered why they don't do rolling upgrades. I can see a reason against it with the new expansions, of course, since you probably can't have some people have earlier access than others, but with the patches, I really don't see a reason against it. Unless they all have a shared backend database that can't take it...Impossible to say without knowing their architecture Edited August 31, 2017 by VirtualMorrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylliarus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Any updates Eric on the testing of the patch or if it has made it to live servers yet? I know you have an ETA of three hours but ... A brief update whether everything is on track would be great to ease our minds ^_^ a brief update whether we could get the Bright Yellow Eyes appearance option be made available in character designer for Twi'lek and other species as compensation would be even better!

Kinsal Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm sorry that is an inconvenience to you, but don't you realize this game is US based? The Staff shouldn't have to stay out after business hours to make it easier another continent. The Team in charge of this game is small enough as it is, and Bioware couldn't afford to pay overtime for them anyhow. I don't know where you work but I can tell you one thing that you would not survive one release weekend where I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro_Renko Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Do not release another update without proper testing. Why rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aczSE Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Next time.. tell us the servers wont come back online today. This delay 1 more hour every hour is annoying as hell. Leave that stuff to air-plains and <insert other douche/turd>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post EricMusco Posted August 31, 2017 Author Dev Post Share Posted August 31, 2017 Any updates Eric on the testing of the patch or if it has made it to live servers yet?

WolfesBite Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Everyone's so greedy on here. You lost less than $1 worth of sub, poor you. Stop asking for free crap that would just require them to do more work. I just want the servers back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieLightJedi Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I would just like to play the game I have had a few beer by this point, and I lolled. So true. I recant my former request for Cartel Coins, and will just try to enjoy my evening until the game is playable again while BW does their best. (but also, on a sidenote, the faun would be nice ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amantionus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This would likely lead to EU servers being down right now for the fixt, since they'd have been patched and failed earlier, and they would possibly have not patched the US servers and just let them play 5.4 until they new 5.4a was working. It seems it might still screw with the EU playerbase, heh. I would think that in a rolling update scenario the EU servers would have gotten the 5.4a patch earlier than they did, in their "slow time", then the servers come down ASAP for the bug patch... Following the current time line, 3 hours figuring out what went wrong, then two hours on a "fix", then three hours to test and deploy the "fix". If the EU servers went down 12 hours earlier than they did, the "fix" would have been in place by their prime time (which ended not long ago). Then, on this side of the planet, the 5.4a patch could have been skipped and the US servers sent straight to the "fix" patch. It should, in theory, resolve many problems and reduce the impact on all regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or one of mine. Migration starts Friday 1800 and ends Sunday same time, and during that time, you either work, or are on call for the few hours you sleep. Fun times.

DtkBs Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 You know everyone complaining, at least Eric the face of the devs who has to put up with all of us is letting us know what is happening in truth he could've just completely left us in the dark. So honestly i want to thank Eric for keeping us informed on whats happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GundamPeacewind Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So, still issues? Not complaining. I am a little concerned that I saw free stuff being passed out? Or not true? If I can't play a game, I do other things. I don't even log into forums. However, I don't have much to do today except cook (did that), play video games or go to the gym because it's cool and rainy where I reside currently. I already don't play every day and am still a subscriber, but if you're passing out codes it should be to all subscribers for fairness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkisMaximus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 so going forward. what did we learn today? 1. test patches before launching them 2. maintenance time needs to start around 3 am PST 3. if you're going to give free stuff out, give it to everyone by in-game mail. 4. have other games downloaded so you don't sit around waiting. that is all. thanks for reading. lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it might still screw with the EU playerbase, heh. Would have left euro players chance to play while bugs are fixed. It is now 00:42 CET, servers down for 8 hours here including prime time, so actually all day/evening lost. How hard is common sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
