Hi there,

Don't really post much, not really fond of hostile environments, but I was curious to know if I misread something? The server downtime today was from 0600-0800 local time, but that was a while ago, is everything all right or is it just taking a little longer than normal?

They're doing a live publish - 6 hour downtime so another couple hours or so scheduled.

I can't get in either, so its not just you.

I find it sad that they spent development time creating a new system of tracking the up/down status of the servers right from the launcher, with one click, but it is already broke, and has been for sometime.

That was a good thing while it lasted.

Thanks very much for that link! I was unaware they were going to be offline for half the day, that kind of sucks. The patch notes don't go anywhere, they link to the nov 15 publish. Ah well, losing my internet tomorrow because I'm transferring. Wanted to get a look at titan weapons, but looks like that will have to wait until FEB.

Hope you guys are all still around when I get to log back in! See you there.

They don't usually publish the notes until later. And don't worry, barring [REDACTED] we will still be around!

They usually don't announce very far in advance when they are making a major publish, which takes much longer to get going.

You could potentially try installing and downloading a Beta version of the game, which would let you see TW on the Beta server where its been getting tested. There are some tips on how to do it without a complete reinstall, which takes hours, by copying your existing game files into another folder.

Your post was at 7:48 AM Pacific time. The announcement had 10AM pacific as the end time, but it was up as early as 9AM (8Am according to others).

So it was 1-2 hours less than they scheduled

You consider the CoH Forums a 'hostile environment'? You've never been near WoW's forums then, have you?

That place can make 4Chan's /b look like an idyllic 1950's home.
