We now expect maintenance to end at 10AM CDT (8AM PDT/11AM EDT/4PM BST/5PM CEST/1AM AEST).

It’s up to your team to close the Ancient Hypergate, opened by the deadly and malicious Dread Masters, and destroy a galactic goliath before it destroys the galaxy!

Red-Dwarf Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Did they fix the pre-1.4 augmentation kits issue? I didn't see it in patch notes. If not make sure you use any kits tonight as they may not work in the morning (newly crafted kits will work fine, so it's only a short term problem). Also be wary on any mission drop schematics, you can use them and they will disappear even if you already know the schematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huxebewa Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm stoked for the update! I didn't get a chance to participate in the PTS, but I am very confident that the Devs will deliver. On a side note, and not to complain, but has the length of the downtime(s) for any of these patches been explained? It seems to me that these updates would be prepared well before the actual time the servers are brought down - and all testing of said patch has been going on for weeks now. If anyone can shed some light on the subject, I'd be more than grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurreth Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I guess everyone saw that coming. Having no normal maintenance this week was a dead giveaway. On a side note, and not to complain, but has the length of the downtime(s) for any of these patches been explained? They always take 6 hours (except the recent downtime for the server consolidation, which came in at around 12 hours (edit, and hopefully before too many people complain) there have also been shorter ones, but 6 hours is really the standard timeframe for routine maintenance). IIRC it was explained once on some Q&A or blog entry, with some hints to the time it takes to have a controlled shutdown, routine DB-, hard- and software maintenance (backups?), patch installation, quick QA run, etc. There's probably quite a bit of slack in there to account for some less-expected surprise features too. All in all, I prefer a well-planned and issue free 6-hour downtime to a slapdash 3-hour job, and so far that seems to be working well Edited September 25, 2012 by Laurreth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roalmo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Noted quite consistently they said, "Servers will be down", ONLY the servers. So will the forums be down too? Assume so... but you know the rest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurreth Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 So will the forums be down too? That's one thing that really annoys me, they kill the entire infrastructure during most maintenance. Could at least show a Twitter feed with relevant messages on the notification page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
