2018/03/20 - Unscheduled Downtime Extension

go away

Nearly 5 hours later, 4 hours after the original extended DT was supposed to end AND we still can’t rely on the server to be stable.

Those people flying around shiny ships (or not) aren’t “idiots” as you say, they are simply playing a game they pay a monthly subscription for.
Players can’t and shouldn’t be held responsible for CCP’s decision to release software that has not been tested to a satisfactory level - TQ is not a Beta server.

And down it goes again.
I now have to either wait 20 hours and lose more isk OR risk moving expensive assets out of my TZ

Any news about compensation?

This is last Major part old eve so on brighter note this should not happen again after this one believe .

Well despite all the ups and downs I think the devs are doing a really good job. Having been involved in the software development lifecycle and having handled hundreds of deployments, its not easy and no matter how much you test and UAT, there will invariably be something that breaks once you deploy to production. Especially if you have thousands of users. It only takes an errant database object or binding and BAM.

There. ASS licking over. Back to the whine.

God people, quit your bitching.

Test and Dev environments are never a perfect mirror of production. Ever. ■■■■ goes wrong with new code, no big deal. Yes you’re a paying customer, if it’s really an issue for you then stop paying; if not, shut your entitled ass the ■■■■ up.

They’re making improvements to the game. The myriad of QOL fixes alone make a little growing pain well worth it, say nothing of all the other improvements coming with this patch. The absolute last thing we want to do is slow progress down by making them gunshy.

How about loading the old chat system and releasing the new one when you´re ready? At least we´d be able to play.

YAY servers up

This thing feels like a porting problem and its conflicting with older code CCP

Just a thought

Not really- only in the sense that the pipes in your walls are unsexy and only support features like flushing a toiled or taking a shower. But if those pipes are getting rusted out and killing your water pressure or leaking into the basement, it’s a problem.

This kind of infrastructure change is actually quite important to a number of elements to the game, its infrastructure, and how it will be maintained/updated in the future.

I know the DT isn’t fun and it may seem like a frivolous change, but these kinds of things do need to be done from time to time and we will all benefit from it.
