Issue 13: Power & Responsibility Discussion

Man what an update *wink wink*

I could be completely wrong about this, but I believe that you first need to connect to the patchserver to make sure your version of the client is up to date, then an authorization server to log in, and then the actual game servers.

There seems to be an issue with the patchserver. Might be a genuine problem, or it might just be getting slammed right now from everyone trying to update at one time. I do know I was able to login earlier today, update, and actually get into the game for a bit. I watched Castle play on an entire team of brand new shield characters.

Right now I'm at home experiencing the same issue that many of you are having. Be patient. It might be simple congestion, it might be a genuine problem...either way I'm sure it'll be sorted out soon.

[updated]
Just logged in to check up on email and I see that there was a lot of crashing problems earlier today...but from what I can tell the problem was identified, fixed, built, send off to QA for smoketesting, and the hotfix went up around 7pm

The servers now appear to be up and running, people are online and playing, but the update servers are still under significant load...so expect delays

is it still not letting anyone on?

Nothing on my end....I'm at my third time to 15 tries to connect and still no dice.

EDIT: Thanks BaB...hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

You can't say retarded!! My boyfriends toons got genericed because he had the word "Retardo" in them.

Woot, I got a (rather roundabout) mention on the Launcher!

Which was the dev nice enough to do that so I know who to thank?

Ok, so let's sum up, Devs put out an issue that no one wanted with changes that paying customers begged them not to make. The day it goes live it crashed constantly until servers went down. Servers say they're up, but we can't connect. That about sum up the day?

How about instead of focus on the negative we do something positive like brainstorm names for issue 14 after they tell us Architect is too hard to do again.

How about...

Issue 14 - Go Play Champions!

or

Issue 14 - You're not getting the hint, we want you all to leave!

What names can you come up with?

It's obviously a result of global warming.

One PC stuck at 52.3M/52.6M download

Another stuck at Connecting #26

With all the similar complaints above, I am having a very hard time believing this is simply overload.

stuck at 8.0 or 8.4

Well, managed to connect at #19, downloaded 155 megs, applied them over the course of half an hour, and then the damn thing went back to the patch server. Is this downloading in two installments? If so, why? If not, WTF?!

/Rant off

G'night all.

somethign definatley happened to a server at the worst possible time :/

This is pretty crazy, I've been trying to connect for 2 hours and I can't connect to the patch server at all. It gets to Connecting #40 and I stop it and try a few minutes later.

same here it just keeps getting to connect whatever number i quit try again its at 6 again oh man

It's been 4 hours now... It took you guys 8 hours to figure out that instance missions were broken, and that makes up like 95% of this game. Now would be a great time to for Lighthouse to swoop in and do his usual damage control, oh wait....

I'm sure Issue 13 would totally RAWK if I could actually play it.

Doubtful, this is the first negative thing i've ever said about the issue. People have been complaining about it for months, i just kept hoping reason would prevail.

Hmmm... it would appear that i13 was given Live status too early. Probably should have stayed on Test for another week or two. Bad show really... will be interesting to see how damage control is handled (I suppose worst case would be a rollback).

Either that or it's a Nemesis plot. Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnnnh!

I win?

If nothing else there should be some communication from someone at NC Soft.... let us know whats going on....

seems they all left for the day :P

I hope they reward our patience with cookies.

Cookies are good.

*Om nom nom*

^_^

I love each and every feature in this Issue, especially the PvP changes. Two thumbs up here!

WARNING: I bold names.

I gave up, shut it down. I'm done and extremely disappointed.

That sums it up about perfectly.

ive hit #43 twice and have learned that nothing comes cheap... I would have better chances hitting the lottery than to actually connecting to the servers... I think ill take a break to go buy my ticket now... If I win FREE cookies for everyone that had to wait :P

I am giving up too. Haven't been able to get back on after the 'emergency maintenance.' I am slightly dissapointed, but not too stressed out. A perfect launch is always a best case scenario, and GL to the devs working on it. Overall, I think i13th is an excellent Issue.
