Really!!! Are you kidding me? FUD? I think I was plain as day from my last response that it wasn't a forum post where my info came from. So believe me or not, don't really care at this point. Don't know you from Adam and it really wasn't nec to start a little doubting thomas reply to mine. Really!!!!
Ingame Admin announcement that the servers are going down in 30 minutes for maintenance, so likely either a hotfix or a rollback of today's patch.
As for manben, the problem is that I don't know you from Adam either. You post statements like you did with no corroborating evidence, I can accept that you may have gotten some information from somewhere that you can't post without violating forum guidelines so I asked to be pointed to other threads where this is being discussed since I've found none but the two here (and only two posts in two threads even mention a TF) and you come off all offended? Since I'd already stated that I'd found no other information about it on the forums, yes, your post at that point equated to FUD. Which is why I asked to be pointed in the "general direction of any threads discussing this".
Oh, and "might be" against forum guidelines doesn't cut it for me. It either IS or ISN'T against forum rules. If you aren't sure what they are, look at the top of every forum section on the boards, there is a link there to them. They clearly state the rules. If it's information you received in an email, ingame conversation or PM from a redname or support, it IS against the rules to post it without permission. No "might be" about it.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

The quotes around might be were for sarcastic purposes since where I got the info is against the quidlines to post about, but really shouldn't be since it's the same info every player should be getting anyway. There was in fact an in game anouncement about TF's on both the live and the test servers as was just stated. My point is you could have chosen to take what I said and said to yourself well, how the heck does he know. You actually took the time to call my statements out as false since there was no proof. What's the point of doing that except to start a flame as this one has now become. Really!!!!

Yes, the ingame statement came AFTER I made that post. I was logged in since around 4:00 Central time until the announcement that the servers would be coming down in 30 minutes, which was around 5:30 Central time. And the announcement mentioned nothing about TF's. I've gone through my logs to see if I missed an announcement, but hadn't.

Considering I've been in game (since it's my day off) since the servers came back up, it has nothing to do with TF's, I was never on a TF today... just fyi.
If its broke, don't fix it... I like the chaos!
Here's your link.

I have been playing ALL day, have not been on team or tf, so its not that, I'm on Freedom, villains side, and I map served 10 times in 30minutes....what is up? glad to know its not just me....now i have to call apologize to comcast....
The finally came out and said it was a map instability problem. For those of you who watch House, I feel like one of his patients. They hunted and pecked, thought it was this, than maybe that, then finally came out and said it was this. Sometimes you just never know.

I quoted myself here to give you an easy reference point. Both Avatea's post in the Announcement's section and the post on the webpage were made AFTER the post I quoted above.|

Also, in case you haven't noticed, most of the posts by the Community team don't show up immediately when they post it. It's fun to be watching the Community Digest and see posts suddenly show up from a half hour to an hour after the timestamp on the posts. Equally amusing is to be looking in the Announcements section, refreshing the page occaisionally, and suddenly seeing posts show up with the delay.

Maybe they need to include a /sync in their posts. =)
Well, looks like some of us are going to have to wait before getting to play today....
I think what they do is keep it hidden to have someone else on the team proofread it for them. Or possibly someone from The Evil Empire™ (otherwise known as Marketing) needs to give the approval first.
The world may never know.

It does always seem like they have to check with mommy before they say things sometimes, doesn't it.
Not so much mommy as Daddy Ross or Mini-Ross.
And it's not "sometimes" it's "most of the time".
You should see it in person when they get The Evil Eye from someone in Marketing and have to start changing what they are saying in mid-sentence.

All patched up, now waiting on the Server's to spin up.

Lol
The post concerning the emergency maintenance said it'd take two hours.
Either way I waisted a day off... all day!
If its broke, don't fix it... I like the chaos!

That's what their maintenance posts always say. That way if they NEED the full two hours they are covered. If everything goes smoothly and it's up faster (which is usually the case) they can breathe easier knowing that they weren't going to have to look at angry posts for it taking longer than announced.

What with the general Hallowe'en Event issues, the Deadly Apocolypse issues, the map stability issues, and now this, it is all becoming a very big black eye for Paragon Studios right about now.
