Server Outage 8/3

killerkoala

it's kinda funny when facebook servers crashed on friday people were calling the police/911 saying when will it be up. hope no one did that for MPQ.

That being said, it also affected Thor's PVP for the final hour, so there's definitely that to consider.

I was definitely one of the people effected by this part of it. I've been away from the game and was looking forward to hopefully having a shot at getting some much needed Hood covers. With the servers going down in the last hour, I lost that opportunity with this event.


Thank you for the update, though. It does help at least getting the message of "Hey, guys. We're working on trying to fix things."

As someone who's done a ton of big systems troubleshooting I'd guess this problem comes down to coding and not user activity load.

I'm sure that no one (except for the servers) was surprised by the turnout. Unique format, most wanted character, fun dialogue. While I know it isn't easy to provide that kind of thing consistently, I hope the devs took note of what made for a popular event.

They'll probably conclude it was the introduction of TU

Ice, can you tell us when or what next pve is and if new character is scheduled to be released then?

Hey all, wake up your alliance mates and get'em to the forums! Lessee if we can break a record(or another server!!)

Someone from D3 pm this guy asap! He can solve problems without needing crash dumps or server loads. Without looking at anything he can get the servers functioning so I can play. Thanks!!

heh took them an hour and 15 minutes to say "yeah, servers are down". no bueno

I'm OK with them spending their time on fixing the server rather than teling us what we already know...So the "Server is down" message certainly isn't a priority. Still appreciate the update, though.

Er...you might want to have someone change the notice about this on facebook. Because the way it's worded makes it sound like there are some people that CAN connect and it's causing all the whiners to panic about how some mysterious people are magically getting on the down servers and getting ahead of them in all the hypothetical events going on in fantasy land right now. (Seriously.)

probably after they get CPR and defibrillate the hamsters, he's got to get them alive so the servers will be back.

Yeah, I was also one of the people locked out of the last hour of the Thor PvP event. I can even prove that I was planning to play more (besides the fact that my score was lower than usual and I wasn't shielded), because I said I was going to push some more Thor PvP in my alliance chat seconds before the server crashed. Obviously, that didn't happen. I probably had a decent shot at top 10, though since I couldn't play the necessary matches, there's no way of knowing exactly where I'd have ended up.

The "Check Your Internet Connection" notice is really annoying, because my connectivity problems are nearly always server-side, and it comes off as pathetic ****-covering. "Could Not Connect To Server" would at least be a neutral way of reporting connectivity problems.

I'll let the guy in charge of our FB postings know, thanks. I haven't popped on FB myself.

Echoing others, the event itself was great. Excellent writing, fun team compositions, Ares finally getting a line. Refreshingly quick and begging for a rerun at some point.

Wait wait.... Ares got a line???!?!! I was too busy skipping the dialogues so I can maximise my grind time. Can I play the event again so I can see the undoubtedly literal gold that must've spewed forth from his mouth?

All he said was 'I'm Greek'

I swear, I didn't do it !

Sorry, ..... that's just my go to response. But I just know I'll get blamed for this too.

You cause one little lab fire and you're branded for life. Anytime something goes wrong, I get the blame.

The servers couldn't handle all of those "saved" Yelena Team-Ups.

I noticed another post about getting two devil dino tups was deleted almost as fast as it was posted. Guessing the post was in error.

Well, I can say that we didn't delete it, so that was a user post pull.

Actually, I tried to edit it, and deleted it by mistake. I didnt care to re type it so i left it. Unless someone knows how to un delete a post. That is the 2nd time this week I have done that. It's these tiny little buttons. But I did stock up 2 Devil Dino and a few Fury TU

No to the new character being on the next PVE. Currently we're planning on Thick as Thieves.
