The only veritable that differentiates this WST from others is the 2 part nature of the Positron Task Force. Has anyone tried completing the second half or the complete oro version of it?

Do we have a start and projected end time for this Wednesday maintenance, yet?

My guess is Issue 21 and beyond.

So, once again, a triple-maintenance week. Not to sound like a whiner, but it's getting old for those who happen to play at the time you do those (I'm on European time, and I actually DO play between one and two PM amost days.) So far 2011 is not turning into a good year for you guys, is it?
I get the fact that you're trying to make it up to those who got shafted over those WTF things, but some of us happen to just want to play the rest of the game and are losing sheer (paid-for, may I add) playing time because of this.
Hey Netphenix...just so you know...the total amount of play time lost to maintenance over the last week amounts to less than a dollar (and even less if you pay in blocks of time). Are you REALLY crabbing about that?

I'm not crabbing about that. Frankly, considering the work the CoX teams are doing, I'm usually more of the "praise be to them for they can't be paid enough" mentality. But those days, I am getting a bit annoyed that up to i19 it was exceptionnally rare for a special intervention to be needed (usually less than every two months from my experience) and since Strike Pack it's getting more to be every two weeks or so.
As mentionned, for some people in Europe, me included (but I know from my in-game friends that I'm not the only one) it happens to be a fairly popular playtime that we're losing more and more often. Now since the beginning of the year, it's the second time we're having a triple-maintenance week, and we're barely in April. I'm annoyed, which I tend to express as frustration. My bad.

(I'd totally play that.
The Epic Archetype would be the possibility to play as one of the Patron's summons, and the Incarnate level as one of Recluse's own summons. )

This. And somebody remind me when it was that a bunch of experienced Dev staff were "let go/went" from CoH by NcSoft? Coincidence? You decide for yourself cause I know what I think (based on what I actually know)
So many cats - So few recipes!
Age is of no importance,
unless you are a cheese!
Not particularly impressed by this - spent a whole evening doing parts 1 & 2 because NOTW didnt drop after part 1, and NOW we're told its an error, and regardless of whether we can provide chat log file evidence that we did both parts, we WONT be awarded the NOTW?
Come on guys, its a bit like being told to dig a hole, then being told to fill it in again straight after, without getting paid for it.
And the annoying thing is that a petition/request for a GM wasnt considered because we know they wouldnt be able to join an ongoing WST.
Really really beginning to have doubts about continuing my subscription considering the "oops factor" this game comes with - shame after 5 years of play.
Get away from that computer once in a while!
Opinions are like bottoms, we all have one, and they usually stink.
Peace.

Again, this is in-line with their past handling of awards failing to drop. When some TFs were failing to drop merits in the early days of merits, even people who completed the TF and bugged it weren't awarded the missing merits after the fact.

Maint Done and game broke.
Toons lock in DB server errors, Can't do mission because just kicks you back out to street, Can't do TF/SF/Trials interface not working, Gloabal Down, AE down, Ect ECT ECT.......
Ok guys this is getting down right stupid now. People are starting to getting really angry. Don't Believe me then maybe the you devs should get on the chat channels and take a listen.
Broomhilda BS/Regen/BM Scrapper, Fiddle Faddle Shield/ElecM/BM Tank,
And many others..
Dev's With all the Great new content, Please!! dont forget to fix the bugs with the old content. There is a storm a brewing because they are not getting fixed. If its a problem that no one is reporting them? Well Maybe you need to look at your tech support then..
Why not just give everyone a Notice of the Well?
Hammer Time!

The Devs reputation is in the cellar, NCSofts "we apologise for any inconvenience caused / thank you for your patience" shows how much they care.
As suggested in an earlier post by broomhilda, maybe some of the Devs/Quality team should listen in to the chat channels.
I've tried playing in Pretoria (for which I pre-paid before it was issued), and cant even go 5 minutes without hard crashing on a constant basis.
Something has gone horribly wrong and its time to repair the damage both program-wise, and more importantly, customer (player) - wise.
Believe me, I prefer to play the game, not spend most of my time slagging the player experience, devs and powers to be off.
Finger out NCSoft - please!

But, no, it does not resolve your (and everyone else's) problem with the quality, or lack thereof, of CoX.
Hammer Time!

Your memory is faulty. Post-releases, there tend to be a lot of little patches and, on occasion, sudden "GAH! Servers going down in TEN MINUTES! DIVE!DIVE!DIVE!" patches. Within a month, it's back to normal. |

Oh, and as far as the last time? COV release. Y'know, the LAST time they finished a major project.

These things are happening in 2 or 3 week cycles at present, and our compensation last time - a Halloween Event!
And I'm SURE I recently saw a thread/statement in the old login style screen which stated "RESOLVED - mapserver problem has been identified" etc. And IS it resolved? Nah.
Anyway, lets hope the new weekly Strike Target works as intended.

I'll fix it.
Due to the volume of tickets we're currently receiving regarding this issue, we've decided to bring the servers offline tomorrow morning for a special maintenance to switch the WST's. Avatea will be posting an update very soon.
Apologies for any typos as I'm posting this from my phone.
