dr_mike Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Is it a TRAP if you were expecting it? Yes, it's just a very bad trap in that case. edit: Guess I'll head over to Farmville for a bit.

Atomobot Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I've been off for a while. thought i'd get myself a wee birthday gift and get a sub. what's been going on? i'm looking forward to doing some of the newest story arc in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSpuds Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hey folks! We addressed to patching issue a little while ago, so that is all cleared up. Now we are working through the login service being unavailable. I will pass on updates as I have them. -eric It might be that, according to the server status page not only are the servers not up, they are not even there to be seen as down.

StephanSimpson Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yes, it's just a very bad trap in that case. edit: Guess I'll head over to Farmville for a bit. Been weeks since I fed the cows. Yeah, i'm thinking about playing Clicker Heroes...at least I don't get disappointed with that game unlike this game. I can't even log into the website when I click My SWTOR. I'd tell Eric, if he's still checking out threads...to shoot a text or something over to the server guy that's tinkering with the login server and have him reboot it. Or maybe do a "ipconfig /release" and "/renew" might fix it....if the log in server is running windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanSimpson Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Look up. He's already stated that they're working on it. Yes, I've already seen that. But what you don't know is some of those software engineer guys won't do the simple fix. They always have to write another program to fix what's wrong and inherently create more problems later on. It's kinda what happened with Hellgate: London. I've also read a forum post from a Dev or Mod and that "Oh we're sorry, the software engineer forgot to turn the authentication server back on. Have a nice day!" And that was 18 hours into their "troubleshooting." Edited May 2, 2017 by StephanSimpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously think a simple reboot or an ipconfig /release /renew is going to fix whatever issue they are having? LMFAO get real bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a maintenance tech that had to rewrite software engineer's programs because they made the adjustment routine not work correctly. I've also fixed some Access databases that were screwed up beyond repair. It's not fun taking a month fixing a database that I could've rewritten in a couple days. But they wanted that database to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merovejec Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 From the start of the game way back when until now, I'd have to give them an 80% chance that maintenance will be extended anytime they have maintenance. It should be simple: Step 1 - Take Authentication Server offline Step 2 - run update program on individual "servers" Step 3 - reboot servers(fully power off and on) Step 4- make coffee and wait 2 hours Step 5 - make sure servers are "up" Step 6 - reboot Authentication Server Step 7 - make players happy by not extending maintenance Bioware, i'll send you a bill for $150,000 because I just made updating your game very simple. Dont worry it will be up till USA prime time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanSimpson Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 yes, but get this (and try to understand it) computer issues /= software/program issues. I did electronic maintenance for 12 years. Changing circuits cards out and what not. You'd be shocked that people will try to write a program for a certain computer(a MAC) and try to install it on Windows and expect it to run. Even says on the package that it's for a MAC. I've also dealt with hardware issues. Video cards going bad and RAM sticks taking a dump(literally). I've done both sides of the house...hardware and software. I always go for the easy fix 1st and that's rebooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaveat Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Solution: Stop making the patch/update service dependent on the login service. A: We are sorry, but your suggestion does not conform to the 'new math' complication method, nor the consumer confusion and irritation process, and therefore can not be supported or endorsed by Ewok, Jawa & Ewok Developers Mismanagement Consortium. I too am a tech, and still you are an idiot who truly does not know what he is talking about, but please go on... My Card: Pardon me. I am somewhat of a bull slinger myself, but occasionally I like to listen to a professional.

Nexdine Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Get real, people. The game is built on top of a Hero Engine from 2005 or so. It took 5+ years to make the game. During that process they (from what I recall reading) basically rewrote tons of the engine to be able to do the game in the first place. I can't even begin to imagine the rats nest spaghetti the game has become over 6 years of patching, mending, cutting, pasting and adding to it.
