jimmorrisson Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Patch Notes will be available on Monday, here. Game Update 5.9.3a General The Merciless Seeker Armor Set has been added as a rare drop from The Eyeless during the Rakghoul Plague event. Patch Notes are up. Nothing about the Holo Rancor mount issue. If or when the issue is fixed, please make the holo-effect darker, brighter, and bolder than before.

Knyghtshayde Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Any idea why servers are still down 75 minutes after maintenance was supposed to be over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andryah Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Any idea why servers are still down 75 minutes after maintenance was supposed to be over? I think you math is wrong by one hour.... that said.. yes.. they are delaying server starts, per below. From SWTOR Twitter: We are going to extend maintenance by 1 hour to work on addressing an account issue, we will pass on more info as we have it. Thank you for your patience.

Dev Post EricMusco Posted October 23, 2018 Author Dev Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hey folks, I want to start by thanking all of you again for your patience today, certainly an extended maintenance like this is not something we want to have happen and prolonging our downtime like that is not a decision we make lightly. Let's talk about what happened. If you look at our patch notes it looks like this entire downtime was just to push out a small update containing one change. Although that was a part of our planned downtime, it was just a very small portion. The majority of our downtime today was actually for some backend updates that we needed to make. During our testing of those backend updates it became clear there was a fairly severe account level issue. This issue impacted everything from access to our website to in-game purchases. We looked for a few opportunities to come online while leaving some services down (such as the website) but ultimately this would have been too risky to your accounts. What I mean by risk is that it could have put your account in a potentially bad state, which is not a safe thing. We were able to resolve the underlying issue and confirmed that things are all good for accounts. Thanks everyone. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
