Surprise Server Downtime

SilverAgeFan · 04-10-2012 06:04 AM

In game as well, but it looks like the store is down. So guess it'll be a bit before we can see what's new today.

Edit: I can access the store now. So here's what's new:

- Jungle pets are now separated out into Lion and Liger for purchase separately at 400 pts. (non sale price this week, yay! *happy wavey arms*)

- The three attuned travel power IO sets on sale.

As an aside, those character slots in all denominations are STILL on sale at 50% off. Considering all the powerset and AT leaks, if you are close to using yours up, might be a good time to stock up on an extra five. I think I will...

Sounds like it's just you. I'm just seeing the new travel IO sets and the pets from last week.

Think that's been out for a few weeks.

Yep. Alignment merits as well. Glad that "fix" was finally rolled out.

ShadowMoka · 04-10-2012 06:14 AM

I recall being able to buy them with astrals/emps too.

LOL tricky.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

ShadowMoka · 04-10-2012 06:40 AM

Lol Lothic beat me to it.

It was SUPPOSED to be in the last patch but it didn't work. This patch was the second attempt to fix it.

There's been a long (sad) history of things that have needed several patches to finally get them fixed.
This is just another one of those things. *shrugs*

total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

My philosophy is usually "if at first you don't succeed, **** it." but I'm glad the devs don't share that philosophy in this case.

Yeah it happens. I wasn't trying to imply any kind of opinion on the situation, just clarifying that it was not, in fact, included in the previous patch.

More than likely it was implementing this patch that went to Test last week.

This was my fault for not getting the notifications up yesterday. My apologies and we'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

We should have patch notes up within the next hour or two once Freitag gets in the office.

Thanks!

Nah, out of all of us, he's usually in the earliest. Freitag is very punctual!

Anyone have any info regarding the current downtime, and how long it might be down for? Was anyone else surprised, or did I just miss an announcement somewhere?

PS: NCSoft: if this isn't some completely unforeseen server melt, please give us a bit of warning!

You had some warning. It's Tuesday.
