I thought it was a joke anyway, when someone asked in level chat how long the update would be and I replied, "Brief updates' can be anywhere from 30 min to 12 hours..."

Jeesh, you didn't have to take me so seriously :-p

Paladin776 · 12-06-2007, 01:32 PM

So, it's YOUR fault! SMILEY

Malandrin · 12-06-2007, 01:33 PM

Is this brief update going to finish today?

Gnevil · 12-06-2007, 01:38 PM

They forgot where the patch file was.. have you noticed that not one server has come up to a locked status... lol

No, it will NEVER finish & the servers will NEVER come back up & you'll be stuck forever & ever & ever paying for a game you can't play.

PcJUNKE · 12-06-2007, 01:43 PM

seriously when is the last time a 1 hour down time has actually been a 1 hour down time. its completely ridiculous don't say one hour if u know that you cant update the servers in less then 2 honestly its unacceptable. u make millions of dollars a month hire people who can update servers fasterGAH!!!!

Malandrin · 12-06-2007, 01:44 PM

mmm... nothing unexpected then.

Apparently the word "estimated" flew right on past you, too.

apperently u only have one response? estimation and a complete shot in the dark are different when servers came down for RoK it was server spammed as a brief update defiantly spot on with that estimation

Apparently the fact that it is a chronic issue has slipped right past you...

It's the only one to give.

Google "estimated", see what it says, & realize that it doesn't mean, or even imply, 100% accuracy. Then, calm down & know your server will be up, when it's ready to come up.

Azmodi · 12-06-2007, 01:58 PM

I had this vision, sitting here trying to log in, of a dev and some code monkies sitting around patching servers, when one of them looks up from his email and says " No kidding? What do you mean bards run speed is still borked? HOLY COW, ALPHA TEAM BREAK, WE HAVE A CODE BLUE!, these poor guys have been waiting on this fix FOR THREE YEARS, we will not stand for this atrocity one more minute!! To the Dev Cave Robin!"

Its our fault, specificly mine. I should have never sent that email....

Galithdor · 12-06-2007, 01:59 PM

Well Guk is in locked status now lol...so maybe they will come up in 15 mins or so! im patient enough to wait...dont see why you all cant wait for a bit longer...it does say estimated...which means that it isnt garunteed downtime (my definition hah)...

Well, that would depend on whether or not you told me "I'll be there EXACTLY at such-&-such time", or "I ESTIMATE I'll be there at such & such time."

If you told me the former, I'd be upset. If you told me the latter, & showed up an hour later, I'd understand.

Because, see, that's what "estimated" means.

Appreciate your input, now mind shutting your "Yes man" pie hole for a while and let the rest of us complain in peace?

Um ... I'm terribly not sorry to inject some logic & reality into your whine party. I will, however, bring the cheeze & crackers.
