Seems to be something more drastic. Union's doing the same.

Ah, not just me then 
Yeah, I'm having that to. Do you think we should tell them their servers are knackered, or just wait until they find out on thier own? 
I really should do something about this signature.
It also appears to be a simultaneous DC. Me and the rest of my sg would all DC at the same time, then log in seconds after eachother. Shame.
was a mass LD at the rikti raid today. Were like 6 of us still standing after 40-50-ish people dropped at once 
Can't really be servers if some are still on tho?
I get the impression it's somehow network related, but a bit odd, to say the least.

This really is bad, and I mean bad as in i've seen people saying they are not playing till this is sorted, Honestly what the hell is going on with the Game, Issue 12 no mapservers all day long, Issue 13 afew crashes and dc'es, 1st patch after Issue 13 ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

I'm afraid I'm one of those people. Not the bad servers, but just how they've been this evening. I'm hoping it won't take long to fix. Particularly with the Winter Event going live tomorrow.
Mapserver disconnected 3 times in 45 mins. on Union, twice taking a long time to get back on. Gave up for the evening after 3rd time.

Hmmm...great...

On a more serious note, *why* is this still happening? The fact that a /sync command was needed in the first place should set off a few warnings...
Isnt it about time that we got a much needed boost to the 'strength' of the server, or whatever is needed to actually make it stable? I admit to lack of knowledge on how that works, but surely to goodness there *is* a way to make the thing stable, right?
Right...? -worried glances-

I love these threads. Everyone's an expert. Everyone blames their pet peeves.
It's likely a transient network issue and nothing really to do with the latest patch, or the /sync thing.
*sigh*

I think they're finally just giving up on Defiant and letting it go down for good. I think this has been a good decision that I for one support wholeheartedly.

Well as were flinging blame around I'm gonna blame BT.
I've got several characters stuck because of this, they just wont login. Very frustrating.
But yea if anyone should eb blamed its Branson, he's been out to get me for a very long time.
Been talking to a friend and she's been having trouble on Union too. I wouldn't know, haven't even been on yet
Same. Union Server. Had plenty of mapservers. And at times the Log-in server would be "gone" for us. Not everyone had it though. We where in a 3 man team and two of us mapservered and the third remained.

At our end we don't even know for sure what the "thing" (or things) that need looking at are. Could be the server hardware, server OS, game software, data centre connectivity, wider internet routing...any of a number of things, some completely outside of NCSoft's direct control.
I'm afraid it's a bit like saying the manufacturers should just improve the "strength" of cars, so the damn things don't go wrong any more...even when "going wrong" might include things like skidding on ice and running out of petrol.

Relevant bit added back into original quote, and emphasised.

Lies spread by the Defiant terrorists. Union is strong, and there is nothing wrong with it. Also, no allied troops will ever enter Baghdad. Rest well, citizen.

Honestly don't think it's NCNCs fault.
Cause i don't lag normally. Not even a wee spike since Issue 13. I've crashed once (i'm seeing FAR less crashes than before).
The only anomaly so far was the rikti raid today, where i D/C'd once in the end, saw one mapserver disconnect in the middle, and had around 5-6 sec lag on my powers, but there was loads of people there so the server prob couldn't keep up.
And of course the 3rd mission in the ITF...
Error prob in some node somewhere, which i happen to not use.
Sorry to ruin the doom and gloom, but it working fine for me
Yip seemed to be a lot of DC's today, the TF team I was on was mapserverng and DC'n more then ive ever seen in the game for a good while. Seemed to be at its worse early evening. I thought was just Defaint, but then was getting reports on the global that Union was also having major connection issues.
Maybe was some in house tweaking going on by nc soft gearing up fothe winter event, not sure.
But know that Defaint was not very stable, we kept at it tho with the frequent DC's and got our TF done.
