Okay. Well if I misunderstood, I apologise. I was only expressing my frustration in the first place anyway. It's typical of my luck that the time I book of coincides precisely with the downtime.

Oh well, garden could do with a trim I guess.

I'm being sarcastic if you couldn't tell.
You're also a poet and possibly know it!

Hmm Database management ahey...sounds like it's probably some required prepping for the server list merger in a couple of months, after all get the easy stuff out the way early then work on the harder stoof next.

Hmmm... two hour maintenance? But weren't we told six? (Also, we don't have DAILY server maintenance...)

Ah! (Though we're still calling it "daily" maintenance.)

I had a similar experience last week. Took 3 days on Annual Leave (Weds Thurs and Fri) that coincided with me being horribly ill and also having my Internet connection go down on the Weds and the engineers couldn't fix it till Saturday morning!

My lovely 3 days of planned time off to play all gone up in smoke.

I can laugh about it now...........

You're kidding right? Animated hair? Is it... for real?

So, wait - we had a six-hour downtime yesterday, and we're seeing a six-hour downtime window right now? Heck of a time to run out of other games, I guess.

It's something she's been clamoring for a long, long time. But everyone knows only Ghost Widow is allowed animated hair, and it'd be par for the course that only villains get animated hair when/if it does show up to add to their dramatic effect. Dramatic hair to go with their "muahahaha" or some such and all that.

Awww...
I was wondering for a moment if I missed an announcement somewhere or something. That's a pity 'cause tbh I think animating hair would be totally awesome also.
There's definitely a few toons of mine I could think of that it would work extremely well with if the right effects were available.

You know, just changing all of the "Recipe Drop" pop-up text to purple would be pretty easy...

You can turn lead into gold, discover the missing link of human evolution, invent faster-than-light travel, prove the existence of God and travel back in time to ensure none of that actually happens.

I'd really, really like to think they wouldn't waste 6+ hours of our game-time with some stupid April Fools gag-content.

I will talk about ingame stuff. What you can do in 6 hours

Get a toon from lvl 1-50
Do 6-9 Task forces
Get all Accolades (if you are lucky)
Farm 3 bill and more
Get 200-300 badges
etc

and yes they are possible.

Anyway I was talking more about data base stuff and everything about servers. I don't know how to say this to you because my english are not good but what I mean is that they can change many stuff on the main COM which host/support the servers . All servers had problems with latency and there was no particular reason for it. Many people had lag spikes in a dead zone. And that was happening to all US and EU servers these last 2 months

We're just doing a bit of additional database maintenance which requires more time than normal.

1 - Not without an exploit you can't.
2 - I'd say 6; and that's if you speed them all and keep the same team for every single run, so you don't waste time of having to form again.
3 - When one of the accolades requires 6 TF's, and many of the others require many defeat 100 this or 100 that? No way. I'd love to see video proof of someone getting every single accolade in 6 hours.
4 - I have no comment on this one. But I don't see how.
5 - If you have the explore badges trackable with vidiotmaps, then maybe. But, damn, you'd have to be moving pretty fast.

The average player doesn't do the things you describe, in a typical play session.

Including replacing dropouts between runs... say 16ish ITFs to keep it real?

1) It's not an exploit that's the best part
2) there are tfs done in 6-11-15 mins so you don't need 6 hours to do more than 10
3) Actually my fault on this one. Was talking about vill accolades. Hero accolades took me a day
4) Well that includes chances and ways to farm in a smart way
5) At least you believe one

Also you are right about the last thing you said. Being a show off is not something to be proud so yeah it was stupid of me saying these but yeah its true

Anyway our subject is this long time maintenance which im pretty sure the reason are the lag spikes
