Down for maintenance. Was in previous to 10 am and there was an in game announcement.
on Virtue:
Darkennedy dark/sonic Def
Lena Slayer NightWidow
Vengeful Woman Energy/Rad Corruptor
Hella Effing Cool cold/sonic def
The sever status page says all servers are down. I'll take a guess and say they took them down to push a hotfix for the Winter Lord's map.
.
All servers went down a short while ago for an emergency two-hour "maintenance" period. Speculation is they're trying to fix the Winter Event bug(s).

Thank you so kindly. Thought I was being punished for something. I mean, it's most likely I should, but still.
like a 3 gig download...idk if its just a winterlord thing..hoping they fix the hami problems and the tin mage tf problems too in there.
with their limited time they work during the holidays i think it would be really a bad call to let this continue throughout the holidays
Agree with Severe, it would suck if those problems continued thru the holidays.
Three cheers for the devs, working on a weekend a week before Xmas! Thanks devs!

Edit: I didn't have to download anything like 3GB. I didn't even see what it downloaded, it was so fast. It looks like it's patching PIGG files, so there's a huge size of stuff to apply the patch to. Maybe that's what you're seeing?

That sometimes happens if you jump the gun before the update completes. It's basically downloading the whole game again from a certain previous date. Cancel it and wait until it says the severs are UP on the status page.|

its all redownloaded so no biggie either way
tin mage is crashing whole teams and hami doesnt give rewards to the tank teams who being part of it for the last 2 weeks ive had to petition and wait to get my reward.
castle sent it to q.a...no word back yet on why its happening
Was really looking forward to playing today. Now I get to go buy groceries and presents and will miss out on the only day during the week I have to play.
An official announcement would have been nice.

Is this the tanks not getting a reward at the end of the raid, or that you're not getting shard drops? If you're not getting shard drops, I expect it's because shards are randomly awarded to a player on one of the teams that damaged the mito. And since the tanks' job is to stand there and taunt, not use any attacks, they never do damage.|

The solution for this is to realize that it's not necessary to have all the taunt tanks on one team. Put a taunt tank on each team and just keep track of who you are so you know when to go in and taunt your respective mitos, and the remainder of the team fights mitos as normal; that way, each taunt tank is on a team that's doing damage to the mitos, and gets a chance at incarnate-shard drops.

the end reward is the problem not shard drops.its a nice story you have there but its not the case.
the case is when the taunt tanks(all on same team) go back to the mitos before they bloom we take aggro of our mito while the after the 3rd bloom we dont reset.we take hami without clearing the mitos.
and even if we hit hami repeatedly we dont end up gettin any reward window at all showing up..this has been an issue since iss 19 came up. 3 weeks and no rewards and it only happens to the tank teams.
ive gotten all my rewards through petitions which means i am and we( the whole team) has hit hami repeatedly.so its not a case of missing or anything else.trust me i dont care about how many shards i get from mitos and it has nothing to do with it
patch notes...fixed tin mage!
COMBINED
Tin Mage Task Force
Players should no longer crash when being awarded the Power of Neu badge after defeating Neuron.
Winter Event
Players who defeat the Winter Lord should now be able to enter the Lord Winter’s Realm from Paragon City and Rogue Isles.

While I've only tanked Hami once since i19, I received my reward. We were doing evacless raids, and I stayed on my Mito until the last bloom. All the tanks went in to hit hami a half-dozen times, and we all received our rewards.
Thank you, Champion.
right so seeing how its not rewarding everyone. it would be a bug..right? 
hense why it needs to be fixed.being with issue 19 and hami dropping shards it should need alittle more priority at the moment
Anybody else having trouble logging on in virtue today around 10 am PST?
