badkratos Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hello, Does anybody knows, if there will be tomorrow servers maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataBeaver Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Scheduled maintenance is usually announced several days in advance, so it seems unlikely there would be maintenance tomorrow. With the double maintenance last week, I sure hope this will be a maintenance-free week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggthebase Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 well it's not true. There has been several occurences when they've announced the "weekly maintenance" the day before. It's just that their communication is lacking as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breger Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I hope it does. That is the usual day for maintenance/patching, and they should stick to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never_Hesitate Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The Ilum event was said to be in january. Update 1.7 If I read this right it says something about Ilum ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devlonir Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The Ilum event was said to be in january. No it wasn't. http://www.swtor.com/fr/community/showthread.php?t=564126 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturmUndSterne Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 No it wasn't. http://www.swtor.com/fr/community/showthread.php?t=564126 Yes, it was. (copypasta) At this point, what we’re wanting to do is an event that revitalizes it. It’ll have something to do with an alien race crash-landing into it, and we’re targeting a January timeframe, which is when update 1.1 happened this last January.

Malastare Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Gah. Learn: At this point, what we’re wanting to do is an event that revitalizes it. It’ll have something to do with an alien race crash-landing into it, and we’re targeting a January timeframe, which is when update 1.1 happened this last January. "We're targeting" does not mean "We guarantee". Stop basing your expectations off of estimations. That statement, that's a developer giving you inside information about estimated schedules. Those things change all the time. Stop taking them to mean that it will happen. Every time people take those guesses as promises or toss them at posters who actually understand scheduling, it reduces the chance that we get that sort of information in the future. "Targeting a January timeframe" means that they hoped to get it out in January, but that it might slip later, based on developer or managerial priorities and judgements. It is absolutely not a guarantee and you have zero reason to be upset if it doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the poster who first replied said: "We are targetting a January Timeframe" does not equal "There will be an Ilum event in January". While the exact wording of the second quote actually was "There will be an Ilum Invasion event February/March". Also, the January statement was done in early September, when this was probably in it's early stages, while the February/March statement was done the end of November.. just before 1.6 hit and when the Developers would know exactly what would be in 1.7. Also, any difference in time comes from the announced '3 weeks extra' they said they will take between 1.6 and 1.7 because of the holidays. Because of that 1.7, which would normally be January in the 6 week release schedule, became February. Which also became the "there will be" date instead of the "target" date. It's really not that hard to understand what people mean by the words they use. Edited January 28, 2013 by Devlonir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that hard to understand what people mean by the words they use. It's also not hard to see that people can and will say "They said January" when .. they did say January. Just because it was superseded later does not change the fact that they pushed back the original intended release date, which was, according to the developer, January. Personally, I don't care - but I was replying to the post that said "They never said January" .. and I was demonstrating that at one point, yes, they did say January.

Just because it was superseded later does not change the fact that they pushed back the original intended release date, which was, according to the developer, January. No. No, no, no. They never said the intended release date was January. They said they were targeting a January release. That is not the declaration of an intended release date. That is not a plan. That is a guess at a development timeline. The purpose of targeted release schedules is to give some target to shoot for, with the explicit possibility that it will be moved forward or backward without notice to the customers. Things like this are why there is less communication with the community: Too many people in the community are unable to understand what is being said. "We're hoping to release in January" gets read as "We promise you that it will be released by the third week of January". People's chronic inability to comprehend what is said is what destroys developer communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
