Hey, ETAs aren't exact. That's why the E stands for estimated, after all. Your fault for trying to beat the clock. =|
No, I'm really am sorry to hear you're disappointed. But that's life. It's not like you can't run the TF again.
hmm..I was frantically trying to empty my email before the servers shut down this morning..I had forgotten about the chance for a rollback thing..and according to my computer clock they shut down at the correct time....and my computer clock matches the time my wallclock says...of course I could have set the wallclock by what the computer clock says.....
Lisa leaves thread muttering to herself, and looking for her iphone to see what time it says..
So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself

Was the shut-down wildly off from the weekly 7:00 AM ET announced maintenance time?
Cause... then one should haven't started a TF so close to expected shut-down time.

Goodness. I was angry last night.
That's what she said.

"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
Got that message on the second to last mission on the LGTF. We weren't worried at all. Hammi was almost down. No issue at all. And... complete!
Then... "Ten minutes until server shutdown...". Everyone on the team immediately says "What...?" According to the TF clock, it hadn't even been ten minutes since the first message.
"No worries!" says I. "To the final mission! I will port all to end, pull AVS, someone take down generators!"
"Sure thing!" says my awesome, flawless team. We can do this in ten minutes easy!
I speed to end, port team, pull AVs. First AB is down in a heartbeat and I pull honoree as he is going down. Blaster offs generators in seconds. There are easily five minutes to take down the Honoree.
Yes! We're home free! He's at a sliver of health and it's only been three minutes by the TF clock! According to the game's own mechanics, we have a full 120 seconds and his Invinc has already worn off!
And the server shuts down. Exactly 23 minutes from the first "it will be 30 minutes!" message.
With 80 seconds left on the clock the server itself provides for the tf.
Yeah.
I want to congratulate our devs for finding an entirely new and original way of making an entire group of players scratch their heads and wonder why the hell they're playing. Even your own damn server clock doesn't agree with you. No, I mean this: congratulations. I've been playing MMOs for years and this has to be one of the best and most humorous "F-U"s I've seen. What could be more effective than having your own server clock tell a team it has plenty of time, then shutting down?
Nothing, I say.
Well played, good sirs. Well played.
