All servers down?

I didn't see any warnings either!

I for one haven't seen any warning, just got boot kicked from wz

No warnings, spent 40 mins to get group for an OP through the Group Finder, finally got one, first boss down to 20% in EV then booted :<

i did not see any warnings on the Pub fleet for Fatman. But we were talking about the lag in general, then someone said game will go down at 30 after. which was confirmed from their twitter and facebook by others on the fleet

sad but true...

Dear Bioware,

An in-game announcement would have been nice. Not everyone thinks to check the dev tracker thread before logging in and periodically during game-play. Another thing that would have been nice...an estimate on downtime. Great, you're restarting the servers. How long does that take? ...just as long as maintenance downtime? Less? More?

Aside from the bugs that players tolerate because this is an otherwise great game, lack of communication is the biggest challenge to SW:TOR's well being. You have a dedicated fan-base that is obviously very willing to work with you when issues arise if you let them know what's going on. The only thing people hate more than inconveniences are surprise inconveniences.

Thank you.

What time will they be back up?

Ah gaaaad! I want to play.

Today is my only day off with the house to myself, so I can play tor and drink coffee in my pajamas all day. GOOOOO!

Funny thing about the human brain: we have about two and a half times the level of emotional response from negative things than we do from positive things. So we automatically feel worse when bad things happen even if the good things technically outweigh the bad ones.

Also, those hours of enjoyable uptime were expected smooth sailing; these minutes of downtime has been an unexpected interruption to said smooth sailing. This creates a negative reaction if you're not completely insane.

Having played GW2 in beta I can tell you that GW2 will be further along than SWTOR was at launch. I can also tell you by the amount of fixes between betas the GW2 dev team knows what they are doing.

Fixes take forever in this game and many times issues still arise. I don't know what it is about this game, I assume its the game engine, but it seems like fixing anything is an uphill battle. There are still so many stupid bugs in this game its just sad.
