Is it soup yet? (AKA are servers up yet?) - Page 3

Origin_Elloyn · 02-22-2011, 02:42 PM

only thing that makes me nervous is how small the patch was. have we been downloading parts of it for months now? Or was it really like 200 megs?

PhabiusBile · 02-22-2011, 02:42 PM

Isn't an asset something of Monitary worth.

Does that mean they are missing a Staion cash item?

swedago · 02-22-2011, 02:42 PM

You would think this is a new game by the way the servers are not up yet...

Thats in reguard to why you were kicked from the podcast

probably, more than likely but a great injustice was done and I wanted to complain about it.. so this was as good a place as any! since its all about Soon™

I can wait but I really don't understand why they just didnt give the launch more breathing room. Say you think it'll be done at 6am, for arguments sake. Actually schedual launch 2-3 maybe 4 hours after. Just in case something goes wrong like it did today. It'd be more fair and professional, really. It's ok that problems happen and can be unexpected but planning ahead and being precautionary with launch times is really important, I think. I had a feeling this would happen, a lot of the time the estimated times they throw out for servers to come up are wrong. No reason not to give it an extra hour or so, that way people arent waiting and then dissapointed.

yeah i texted a friend that servers are up when this happened, then i looked stupid =(

Taronok · 02-22-2011, 02:47 PM

If you were Sony and you knew that the number of players logging on at the same instant was sure to crash you servers what would you do to prevent it? You would probably queu up the logins. What scheme would you use to sequence the logins? What would you tell the players that ended up queued for a long time?

They've been patching in content for months - prior to Velious even officially being announced.

PhabiusBile · 02-22-2011, 02:48 PM

The horror.....

If they gave estimates past the time the servers would actually be up people would complain they were always up early.

I made myself laugh.

servers ....... up early .....giggle

Reminds me of this exchange from ST:TNG Relics

"I told the Captain I would have this diagnostic done in an hour." "And how long will it really take you?" "An hour!" "Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would really take, did you?" "Of course I did." "Oh, laddie, you have a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker."

Oh im not saying they should be up early. Even if they finished early it should be launched at the correct time posted.
