Server taken down ?

Anyone know why? It's Monday night and I was running a team of 6... all are old timers. We were surprised that everyone got on the same time but server was taken down. T_T

Just curious. The announcement says the maintenance is tomorrow?


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Yes, I want to know why, too. I thought I would have time to play tonight, since maintenance was going to be in the morning.

i think the server being down is another symptom of the issues on the North American servers that prompted another maintenance only a few days after the last (very extended) one. An outbreak of myxomatosis among the NA server hamsters perhaps. This time they'll remember to sterilize the cages after euthanizing the old hamsters before they put new ones in.

i stopped playing a couple hours ago because the server latencies were getting a bit too aggravating. Playing a low level Dark Armor Tanker does not mix well with inconsistent power response times.

So yeah, there's been some issues with the NA servers that are apparently still being worked on.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

The "server going down" chat message said there was more information about it in the forums but I have found nothing at all other than the schedule for tomorrow's maintenance.
I hate these forums. They should have a place easy to find for people who don't haunt this place...or just a link to it on their server status page.

They do, it's called the Announcements forum. Unfortunately, it doesn't do any good when they don't post anything about it.

Purely Anecdotal, but I was on Monday night (Guardian) and the server
was flakier than hades. Activation latencies between button press and
power effect were (at times) on the order of 1/2 a second or more.

Aditionally, the servers were only down for a fairly short time, so I'd guess
they didn't do much more than reboot them.

I was back on ~1/2 hr later and things were much improved <shrug>.

I just have to ask...flakier than Hades? Is Hades known for being especially flaky?

Known for???

Hard to say - having never applied for the position, I'm not sure what the
requisites are, but I'd imagine that "God of the Underworld" entails some
flakiness - just look at all the creatures that end up there, and then realize,
Hades has to deal with all of that...

My guess is that it would be a pretty flaky place ruled by an even flakier god.

Not to mention the literally flaky skin from all the heat down there.
