Maintenance 9/19, 7am PDT [Complete]

edited September 2013 in Super News Network
This week's maintenance will start at 7am PDT, tomorrow Thursday 9/19. It's estimated to last 1 - 2 hours.

This week is ending up just being a restart. While we have a number of bug fixes on PTS, we're electing to give them a little more time to soak and get tested before pushing them all live. This includes costume fixes, mission fixes, and balance changes to Legacy devices.

In other news, Mega-Ds start 9/27, mark your calenders. Gonna be awesome to close out the anniversary month with a bang. :biggrin:

    nitpick first: Thursday is 9/19

    Yay for info the Mega D event.

    And, glad you're taking a bit more time on various things before releasing.

    What? You're making sure the fixes work, and don't break even more things before they go Live?

    Who are you, and what have you done with Cryptic?

    Nahh .. they saw that the fixed didn't broke other things, and now they are totally confused and work hard to implement at least some new bugs :biggrin:

    I really hope you guys get the chance to fix the graphic for Id Blades powers. The second blade still twists around when you level the powers up.

    I had assumed that the Destroid Daily would remain up until the Mega-Ds arrived, but they're gone this morning. Is that mission supposed to be over now, or did someone push the wrong button and turn it off?

    Maybe they got bored of just standing around minding their own business and being assaulted for no reason.

    Porr things. They spend 20 years in a factory, then become sentient and crave freedom, then they get it and we attack them...OMG I think we are the Villains now!

    NOOOOOoooooo! Nepht has won!

    Cool. I'm trying to save up enough Q to buy Zen for another AT, as I have no idea when I'll be able to go Gold again. And I was getting so close, even with the current state of the Q Exchange...

    And as I said before, walk past one and see how "peaceful" they are. Sure, they're minding their own business - assuming "their own business" includes trying to kill anyone they see wearing spandex.

    With the current bonus Zen offer through peanut labs, I just got 300 Zen in about 30 minutes of surveys.

    Must be nice. I've tried doing surveys three times, and each time I spent a half hour on pre-survey surveys to be told that I don't qualify,so they aren't giving me anything. I don't waste my time with surveys any more.

    I managed almost 200 Zen that way - but I'm a 50-year-old white male who has no intention of purchasing a luxury car any time soon, so I fail to meet their criteria a lot. :smile:

    Also, I don't have a credit card, and if I did I still wouldn't want to let someone have the number just to get Zen - I'd rather buy it outright, and not risk an unscrupulous company either charging stuff to it without asking or selling it to the highest bidder. So I stick to the "free" offers.

    Just lie.
    Pick demographics that are more likely to get you through surveys and give answers that are likely to get you to the next survey.

    Well, on the other hand I topped 100k Q yesterday, almost entirely through these Destroids, and I only try that half-heartedly. :) (Might get more serious now that I've finally gotten Finesse to 25, and created his Nem, the Director...)

    So with maintenance done, Warlord is now up on its rotation....and here come the leet players rushing through the rooms and triggering the boss cutscene, beating Warlord before the rest of the group reaches the power armor room, thus locking us out of the drop.


    Fun times ahead...

    that's not leet. I've got a special word for that. Leetarded. It's when they think they're so good, they lose all common sense and decency for their fellow players, and forget that this is a multiplayer game.

    haha I was agreeing with you, but we need to keep that word away from em even as a mocking term. They might think you're serious.

    That and I really wanna make Leetard happen.

    Leettard- spandex worn by tards when avoiding fights in order to prove how 'great' they are. Failing in the process due to the methods used. Similar to leotards worn by gymnasts but the tards never look good.

    It's funny when you are the only healer/rezzer and they all run in and lock you out. You can just sit there fanning yourself with Radiance and watch them burn.
