Fucking servers are down AGAIN

Post by Diekan »

Does anyone else have that feeling of DV... from about 4 years ago when EQ 1 servers went down on a daily basis?

You'd think after FOUR fucking years they'd learn how to manager their piece of shit server system....

Either that or we're all just paying 15 bucks a month for access to a never ending beta. Fucking Sony

Fucking retards... I sware... nothing was "broken" they just found a few issues with some spells, skills, and a couple of other thing. It's not something that required them to shut the damn servers down on a FRIDAY night.

The same morons running a new game... nothing has changed.

Rather than just waiting till the end of the weekend, they decide to pull the plug at the beginning of the weekend... Sony logic hard at work.

Just read the downtime message. It looks pretty severe. They are going to do a rollback apparently to the 7am PST save. Glad I didnt play today hehe.

Really, I haven't had almost any missed playing time before today.

This is contrary to WOW, which crashes quite often.

The servers go down on a daily basis at around 10am EST and stay down for an hour or more.

Now - we're starting to see the same shit we had to put up with in EQ 1 (remember the days of the TN being down for hours at a time?).

EQ or not - If this shit keeps up I am not going to continue paying for it. My X-box needs more attention anyway.

Seriously, Verant released a product that wasn't complete - and Sony has just continued the tradition, as it were.

The only reason we have to put with up with daily patches and crashing servers is because the damn game wasn't finished upon release, period. They were so afriad of *losing* to Blizzard they rushed the production and released early. Now instead of losing customers to Blizzard due to time release, now they're going to lose customers due to incompetence.

They've been down all day. Major database corruption or some such.

/shrug Even the best computers can get errors.

At least they've offered to absolve all xp debt as recompense. :lol:

The difference is that was then... this is 5 years later - you'd think they'd have learned how to do it right by now...

I'm telling ya - this is just the start of the same shit we had to put up with then....

I'm giving them till the end of the month then pulling my account if they dont get their shit together. I am NOT going to put up with this again. Not when I am PAYING 15 dollars a month.

Anyway, the exp repayment is lame - it's great if you HAD a debt lol, but what those of us who don't?

Secondly, they're talking about a roll back... nice - I finished two quests (one requiring time in Stormhold) and leveled up to 19.5... that's all I need is to log back on at 18.

Anyway - trust me... this isn't a good start.

I work a swing shift in a chem lab... this week I was on nights... soooo my play time is during the day.

I did the quests this morning at around 9 am. Logged in finished one, leveled up to 10% into 19, went and finished my Ranger title quest.... then went to Stormhold... got a group and completed one of the relic quests. Gated out and logged 1 minute before the servers went down.

So, not only will I be losing all that exp - the quests - I am now going to have to hope I can get a group like the one I had in the first place.... we did Stormhold with Druid as our healer... it was quit exciting to say the least. Not much chance of running into those guys again... if you know what I mean.

So this was before the patch this morning?

If so you should be alright. They said rollback would be to the point they patched today.

Yep, its been a long, long time. It must be a major, huge ass bug. Im sure they could roll back and get the servers up, but I bet they are trying to locate the source of the corruption and get it fixed. It sucks, but eh, whatever.

Too bad. I wanted to get 15th level on my troll summoner. IM DA SMARTERESTS TROLL EAVARAR

I heard that on test server, anytime someone does an HO the zone resets... I'd say there are some pretty major bugs.

They had problems with the HO in beta. They took it out of the game for weeks. They should just disalbe the HO on live servers and get them up and worry about fixing the bug on test :(

Oh boy, xp debt wipe and free time! I should've known better than to trust SOE again...

If there was any reason to believe this would be a one-time thing, everything would be gravy... but...

Ohh this isn't going to be a *one time* thing you can bank on that.

I say remove the HO as an option... It's really not worth it if you ask me. Sure, it gives you a few extra damage points now and then, but really... does it make that much of a difference? I've used it soloing and I've intentionally not used it during soloing - and guess what? Nothing different... takes the same amount of power and time to kill the mob. As for groups - I have yet to be in a group where someone didn't get out of sequence and ruin it. It's worthless and if it's causing problems should be removed.

I guess the Beta was so popular they decided to start charging for it! woohoo so how do you all like the EQ2 beta? Ohh wait this IS supposed to be the *real thing* /snicker.... ddeeeejjjjjaaaaa vvvvuuuuu

I'm hearing rumors now it was a disgruntled employee. They have a job opening for a Database Administrator posted Thursday.
