red text of doom 2 HOURS EARLY

now lets see if they bring the servers down 2 hours earlier than planned too *sharpens pitchfork*

Maybe they've addressed ALL the issues and it's totally worth it?

Indeed. <_<

I checked the forums before going online, and figured I had a few hours to play. Hopefully, it comes back up sooner, rather than the original time. >_<

Maybe the hotfix is to correct the clocks in Paragon Studios.

Just saw the 10 minute warning...

Well this is just Super ******** 64! right here.

They just updated the announcement section once we've all been kicked to let us all know its going down 2 hours early.

Marauder was at 1% when we got kicked from the server.

Yeah, updating the "this is when they'll be down" info that shortly before taking them down is not cool.

On the other hand, we managed to seriously rush through a Moonfire in a slightly epic way and finish about a minute before the servers went. It was beautiful (but annoying that we had to).

*dances* zophs here!

:O Where?? *hides*
But yeah. \o/

Looking at irl this downtime window actually fits what I was planning better, but it's still annoying they didn't announce it. :<

Anyone wanna' start a pool on when we'll see any patch notes?

100 mil on no real patch notes. Just a vague "Addressing serverside issues" blurb.

As for the lack of announcement until the servers were down, par for the course. The community team here does a very good job of communicating with us. They need to work on the timeliness of their communication badly though.

Why bother scheduling your downtime if your just going to change it and do it whenever anyways.

I'm not one to complain about these things, but...

...If you're going to have short-notice downtime to apply a patch, at least have the decency to then take the servers down when you said you would. I get that sometimes you need to patch urgently to resolve a serious issue and that's fine, but it'd be nice if it happened at the stated time

I'll wager 200 Quatloos! on the newcomer! errr, I am going with an hour and half after the patch.

Our apologies for this change, we're hoping to bring the servers back up before the European peak time, when our highest number of players usually connect on a Friday night. Hopefully this should mean that the weekend will see less people having issues with the new content.

OK, so far we have:

EU_Damz: Patch Notes two hours after servers go up
Abigail Frost: Patch Notes will be posted, but will be vague and uninformative.

That's cool, and I think most of us guessed that was the case. It still would have been great to let us know sooner that 30 min before the servers were brought down.
