Maintenance tomorrow will be at the normal time. I don't think there are any patch notes, there'll just be some behind-the-scenes stuff that won't have much gameplay impact.

Start time: 7am PST, 11/20
Estimated duration: 1.5 - 2.5 hours

    We demand to know about even the most minor gameplay impacts! s( O 3 O)/


    *secretly hoping for more amazing exploit fixes*
    Squishy DPS builds that can solo QWZ w/videos.
    My super cool CC build and how to use it.

    The secret hope that many of us cling to, yet seems so far away.

    Nighthawk?

    Perhaps this is a dumb question, but why do all of the Cryptic games have to go through maintenance on the same day? Different days or even different times would allow those of us who are playing one game to enjoy the other two while our main game is in downtime. Just a thought.

    Is anyone having trouble logging into the game after the past maintenance?

    I can't log in and it keeps taking me back to log in screen. Usually takes me right to character selection. Hopefully it's fixed before I get home from work.

    I am unable to connect to authentication server or to the chat system via pidgin.

    My XMPP chat has a message from someone sending me a tell at 8:37 PST, but at 9:05 PST, the login server returns that it is unable to authenticate a login for either the chat or the game itself.

    There seems to be a problem with the authenticator while logging in.
    I'm sure its just a temporary hiccup.

    Because they apparently only use one server farm, on the US East Coast (even though their offices are on the US West Coast, in California and Washington). Since all of the servers need to be rebooted once a week to fix the memory-leak issue, they figure they might as well do them all at once.

    We had some earlier networking stuff that cause some login issues, but it's fixed now.

    I think the whole 'cross-game PMing system' is a byproduct of this. Or perhaps vice versa. I don't know, maybe I'm totally wrong. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.
