Also what do we reckon will be the crippling bug on this one?

[/ QUOTE ]

When they let us know that the Science pack is available and the Account pages fall over, despite the fact that it happened last time.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not really an in-game bug though, is it?
For this Issues in-game bug, I'd guess something to do with global chat

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought the Science pack was this Issue?

/sarca.... no wait, why do I bother. It'll just go it's own way instead.

Sheesh! Some people around here obviously haven't been around for any issue releases in the past.

Historically, Cryptic/NCSoft/Paragon have never told us that they are releasing an issue until after that issue is live. They just take down the servers and let us suffer. Only when the servers are actually functioning do they tell us what they've been doing.

Thus, we know this is an Issue release, because for "Emergency Patching", they tell as quickly as they can.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

the next super booster pack might as well be i16 and 15 for me, I find it more exciting than both of them combined. Coloured powers and a 5th column tf, 2 (poor) new costume sets, and more cossie change emotes. *sigh*

Alright...everyone...place your bets!

IF the Science Booster pack does come out today...how long do you reckon for the store keels over and dies...I say..20 minutes for 10 Internet points!

Unlikely and not needed imo.

This appears to be scheduled downtime for all servers - the only bad point is the lack of communication, which isn't really a good enough reason for double xp.

In the past most issue releases I recall have been in a downtime slot from noon til 17:00 UK time. So if they get the servers back up soon it's been the usual downtime for a new issue. So the actual length of downtime isn't anything unusual or unwarranted. Just would have been nice to be given a notice/estimate as has usually happened.

after emailing NC Soft about why they have not communicated any information about maintenance to us. there reply is

We appreciate that it can be frustrating waiting for maintenance but please do appreciate that we cannot always say for certain when normal service will be resumed. Better that everything is running smoothly when it goes live, yes?!

---- But why not tell us about it before you take down the servers?

But IIRC they usually tell us in advance something along the lines of :
* it's going down at 12:00 for an extended downtime
* downtime expected to last up to 5 hrs

My old memory certainly thinks we've usually been told in advance that it's going down and an idea of when it's oplanned to be back up.

Seriously, one bite was enough to realize that a burger could excite me way more than I15! WAY MORE!
