    Yes like i known for 3 years i was referring to todays intended update not Whether server was up or not.

    Well,the server did have a patch this morning,but had a BIG bug in it that involves SG banks,and now they are trying to fix the server,according to TT,there is no ETA as to when it will be bought back up yet.

    So the update is still happening...?

    The big update is not; the patch that the server comes back with will be much smaller.

    I'd say no, just some fixes to alleviate whatever just happened if I understand TT. I'm guessing trailturtle would be the community liaison?

    What we'll have (hopefully soon) is an incremental update from what we had pre-maintenance. It will not have some things, but it will have some new stuff.

    is it my only day off this week?
    yes

    was i practically peeing my pants in exitement waiting for new powers, alerts, questlines, tp's, possible content, and first npc i was really going to be interested in? yes

    am i saddened that there has to be a rollback and i get none of that... while at same time wasting away a good chunk of my day off?
    yes

    am i angry at cryptic or perfect world for the screw up and the need for an emergency patch and roll back?
    NO....

    many players complain every time there is an issue and scream DOOM, DEAD GAME, and I WANT MY MONIES WORTH. and very few of them realize that almost every game out there has the same exact problems, issues with patches, rollbacks, bugs, balance etc, or if they realize it they expect that the game they are currently playing to be different. well its not. fact of life, grass is EXACTLY the same color on the other side, "greener" is just personal perspective talking.

    there is only ONE fantasy mmo *cough- WOW- cough* that doesnt have as many problems... and thats because its been around for a really long time. those people that played in wows first 4 - 5 years will remember all of the problems that they had in their youth to, and you have to remember that right from the start they probably had a huge developement team and massive budget...

    They found the bugs within minutes and are fixing it it better they do this now than leave it over the weekend till Monday.

    I always find it odd that most MMO companies even the big boys like PWE and A.B dont do weekends :D

    Sorry raging at whats going on in Trek has drained my snark glands.

    Watching a few hours of House should fix it.

    Normal Nepht service will resume in a few days ..just before Cryptic put the servers back up.

    I am so going to laugh when they announce that the banks that were cleared out will still be that way once the server's back up. Forums will be smoking then. BTW, beautiful day outside today, got a tan! :cool::tongue::biggrin:

    WoW had servers rolling over and dying left, right and center in the first year. Heck, we managed to crash my server by doing massive world pvp in tarren mill.

    They had the infamous plague that infected the whole world and killed players as soon as they logged in. They had servers lagging and crashing on the release of their first big new content patch (Ahn Qiraj or whatever it was spelled).

    I did quit it a looong time ago (got tired of fantasy mmos)... but no one should expect anything different, regardless of game or company or budget (and as a side note, expect even worse if its from SOE).

    MMOs are just too massive and adding new code can always have unpredictable effects on live that didnt show up on testing.

    The devs, however, should be aware of this, and avoid adding new code (except for emergency bugfixing) on weekends, because things do go wrong from time to time, and on weekends the backlash from the community is a lot worse.

    well idc the new NA AT.. ive seen a video where all the powers were explained..and i was not happy about it.. maybe it is only me but the new at isnt as epic as some other ATs...the NA AT has low FX :/



    well and if the NA AT is going to be a GOLD AT it will the at with the lowest cosmetics .. the stealth skill only increases 1 attack... so stealth is only good for snipers...lol

    i bought the invicible with cash because it is cool and has many efefcts... but i will not buy NA AT because it is boring :/

    Then there will be the Vehicles wich wil be PAY also i think.. because they are become devices... those are maybe fun to have , maybe worth to buy...

    but that are all things we dont really need actually..

    as many peopel said we would love to see some new content for lvl 40+ and also... Supergroup Hideouts...and FINALLY fixes for dualblade and darkness nemesis..

    Cryptic come on.. there is dozents of threads about that.. dont you read the forums or do you simply not care?

    Ha I remember that plague there was also the every one had no head incident.

    WoW still has more problems than any other makes the stuff that happens in CO seem like a hiccup.

    Apart from the time the instances in Mill City was eating themselves and the whole population was huddled in fear in the frozen wastes of Canada for the whole weekend.

    The survivors that is if you were in Mill City when that stuff happened u were screwed.

    Or why they dont do updates on mondays instead of fridays, so they eliminate any potential weekend long problems.

    Or at least not during the 3 hour questionite bonus time that only rolls around for me once a week roughly at a time i can actually make use of it (that 3 hour time window being over halfway through now during this extended downtime)

    Your lucky Finny I was posted accidentally to the front line :eek:

    I was in the middle of making my NightAvenger when the servers went down again after the patch, ya would think after so many years I would know not to leap back into the game after patching :biggrin:

    And OH NO just noticed, how do I get my VANGUARD title back with this new PWE account? My Cryptic one was a special title for winning an event, the same as CHATs, but I guess I can't use that now I had to make a PWE account :(

    Some UK/US people on this forum have already say to me that i speak english as a klingon but here, i can help you.
    You must say : "Je vous aime aussi" and not "j'aime vous aussi".
    Yes, it's difficult to speak an another language than your. :wink:

    For the update and this patch, i hope there is more than a vehicle become device, a costume, or other fluff.
    I hope for new content soon, new things to do like new rampage and nighthawk alerts.
    Or better as the new missions arc in MI, or lairs 's update (before 2013)
    , or even better, some new maps.

    Yeah, I havent played it in years... since a few months after WotLK release. But last time I played, it had its good patches and bad patches, just like every other MMO, and I doubt its all perfect now.

    This stuff happens, and its always in someone's only day off :rolleyes: I wonder if its the same guy in every game. Must be very unlucky, that one.
