The thing is that, after the last time, the "emergency maintenance" was to prevent this happening again. Unless I've misunderstood something fairly basic about that...
I have a difficult time believe it's 'totally not Neverwinter' when this didn't happen until Neverwinter's open beta went live. Absolutely nothing else came along to effect this. While it may not be the Neverwinter game in and of itself, I think this problem is directly tied to Neverwinter's launch.
To think otherwise, without there being any other explanation offered is completely baffling to me.
Hey trail....How about...this..How.about asking the higher ups..To fix the bugs with these down times in Co..maybe even adding stuff to it...just thought.
Turtle will be in there cracking that whip soon enough. He had that whip crackin like crazy...and...was in here keeping us up to date last time. I might not have much faith in Cryptic anymore, but I still have faith in Turtle...give it time.

If it would be Neverwinter, that would be bad business, eh? /gangnamstyles to the sunset

CORRECTION: We've just verified that we have the tool we need for the deep fix. I very much apologize for the whiplash, but we now have what we need to prevent more outages of the kind we've recently had, and we're making that fix ASAP.
Maintenance will begin at 9AM PDT, a little under half an hour. There is no patch, but this kind of infrastructure change could (potentially) take up to 3 hours -- hopefully less.
One of our top priorities has been preventing more crash-outages. Again, I apologize for the change in plans, and thank you for your patience -- we're on the home stretch.
It could of course be unrelated; but it's going to start looking a bit silly if the emergency maintenance to fix the outages (which itself was downtime), didn't fix the outages.
I'm not sure about you guys but I am pretty sure that the cryptic studio staff of champions online have just basically stopped looking through the forums.. If they would they would not sit back like a bunch of *******s doing nothing at all considering the issues and as well not taking suggestions into consideration. If only there was some sort of confirmation that they actually are looking through the forums..
I am willing to bet 100 bucks that they are not and that people can just go amok and do whatever they feel like and writing whatever they want.. In other words they would probably not even do anything if everyone started breaking the rules at the forums and well.. Everywhere basically

These forums are moderated - I'm not sure how frequently, though.
Actual developers (artists, programmers, etc) aren't required to, and may be discouraged from participating in forum discussions for games they work on. I don't think [this] is a situation unique to Cryptic or CO at all.
All that said, put the O in CO for us please, network guys?

Um I think they got the servers mixed up. But I could have sworn I saw a message saying Connection failed due to server crash or something similar to that just before I got sent back to the log on screen
O.K., you win.
Not just like, the Thread, but, like the whole Internet:cool:

The interesting thing is, with all the network issues as of late, maybe now Cryptic (and those people who seem to think Cryptric is infalliable) will start to acknowledge that all those Server Not Responding issues people seem to have beeen having since forever might, in fact, be at least partially on Cryptic's end...
It's my dreaded archnemesis, Mapserver Man, who has followed me here from CoH. He has the terrifying power of DCing anyone and everyone at will.
My guess is after Lady Lockbox was stripped of her OP Lockbox spam ability, she's become a bit of a recluse..Mapserver Man and The Supreme Imperator of Disconnection must be working together...:eek:

If you'll pardon me, I have to go post on Facebook that my SG's weekly teaming is cancelled.
@flamingbunnyman in game. Formerly @Roderick in City of Heroes.
So you guys don't overreact ok?
It's official, Cryptic- you may want to address your customers. An apology is in order, this is pathetic.
Yeah...this was a prime time for me. Server goes down on a Saturday at 11:20am PST? That's crazy.
Holy **** your quick..but yeah its down *sigh* >_>
See what happens I guess.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Sort your **** out, Cryptic. Sheesh.

You're the only that has mentioned Neverwinter so far in this thread.
Who's overreacting again?

Hey, that server ran Atlantis just fine for centuries....

Thats the problem, this server is almost (and probably) a decade old....

Way to many players for the hardware. :eek:

Hmmm...
It's not Neverwinter it's CO!
The server is working on our behalf to make Cryptic return the Lemurian Invasion to it's rightful place!

Not by Cryptic staff. By 2 (1?) volunteer community member(s).
And Trailturle ofcourse.

It's both, Trekkies and Dungeoneers.

If they would let the intern wear his normal clothes instead of disguising him as a prisoner, he might get it done sooner.

Cannot believe you guys didnt read the patch notes! >_>!
We were told that The Supreme Imperator has an ability called Mass Server Disconnection..its an AoE attack hence why we all felt it...
(ofc I am joking..this is horrible customer service from Cryptic , oh well back to my essay!)
