    To everyone complaining about possibly missing a placement, it wasn't necessarily guaranteed anyway, because if your last battle would have given you top 100 or whatever, it's likely the other people around you were completing a battle too. So you might have gained 200 points, but they people you're all chasing might have gained 200 points too.

    I managed to make it until the last minute, but we'll see how it plays out. At least the event itself seemed to go well.Who knows, maybe the developers will compensate us somehow too. icon_e_smile.gif

    You'd think they would have been prepared for the dual event endings! This is going to wreck a bunch of us who were right on the edge at the end!!! Pretty poor planning on their part, I'd say. icon_e_sad.gif

    Should I be surprised that the server went down again deal to insufficient hamsters running the wheels? Or should I not be surprised as this is the intended finale of the Deadpool events as he's infamous for all sorts of mischief? icon_cool.gif

    Maybe they are just trying to get a new record for most people viewing these boards at the same time...

    tinykitty it not enough posts to post picture of nuclear explosion with witty comment about d3 offices/devs/servers.

    I guess you'll just have to imagine how awesome it would have been.

    You know what they say:

    Got a win just before the event ended and got to the node menu with 0 time left showing on the clock.

    So chances are if you got dc'ed during a battle, you were out of time anyway.

    I think the servers died exactly at the moment the event ended so deadpool event shouldn't be affected in anyway.

    pvp on the other hand....

    Really really hoping I kept my 5 rank. I had just finished a bout right before time was up and got the points, went to check to see if I kept 5th, and server suicided.

    I might have been 3-4 with a lead of 200 point in the last minute. The server died literally after I finished my match and tried for one more.

    Still not up though....

    Right, but I was 99 and putting in a last battle, trying to stay at 99. What if they did the same points but got it in a split second before the servers crashed? Frustrating.

    Half an hour down, half an hour left...can't be good odds.

    It's Sunday night/Monday morning - they probably have one intern in there and he's either asleep in the bathroom or running around squealing in panic.

    He threw the servers in the toilet.

    I don't know much about the inner workings of servers, but it's midnight so I doubt anyone is actively working on it. Unless they make like wolverine and do some self true healing I doubt they get back up in time to finish thor pvp.
