Maintenance, 4/7 @ 6 am PDT

edited April 2015 in Super News Network
Maintenance this week is going to be happening a bit earlier than usual, tomorrow morning. We're going to be doing some infrastructure changes to help deal with load balancing/etc a bit better.

Note: The infrastructure changes should be fairly simple, but they may end up taking longer. We'll see. If it goes super-smoothly, it may be only three hours.

Start time: 6am PDT
Estimated duration: 4 hours

    Thank god. I didn't get to enjoy the double XP weekend with all the freaking disconnects.

    Just speaking here, but I think it would be fair game if the double XP was extended for a couple more days to make up for the fact of how hard it was to enjoy due to all the disconnects and so on.

    Seeing this I wonder if all the lag I'm having when CO is open is connected to the game. I close CO and my connection goes back to normal.

    Ahhh!, I thought so :tongue:, well we still got the Foxbat thing so far,although weirdly enough, I did have an odd dream about the PSI/Glass & Holo weapons, no idea why :confused:


    But the only thing, I'm waiting for is the Hideout Rooms, its been so long until we got them and it be my dream to have them fianily here.

    But an odd qeastion or even request, you kown the Penthouse House Foxbat owns?, any Chances of us beening able to have some of the items he has inside that we don't have?, Like the TV....?

    Forget hideout rooms, for now I just want that TV, on the fire-place for the penthouses,

    No plans at the moment to do more hideout dev work. That may happen in the future, but not as of yet.


    We're starting whiteglove now.

    I hope this fixes the "sticky" alerts we've been having recently but a general improvement in network performance would be very nice.
    A couple of times I've been SNRed during the F&I cutscene which was slightly annoying (wild understatement)

    Does this mean there will be no downtime on thursday? That's become my "oh god where did all this dust come from?" time :tongue:

    TT, I believe most of those hideout rooms are actually mostly to already finished, but the hideouts just don't allow you to go there yet.

    If this is the case wouldn't expanding hideouts pretty much be as easy as making a few doors openable?

    Although it would be nice if they had crafting tables in them too.

    See this is EXCALY MY POINT!

    Please, replay...to this man...I hate to sound like an right Snob, but it shouldn't be hard to make doors openable, its not like programming an new costumes or new giant jet, should be simple to move a few objects around, make it look a bit nice then remove doors and POW. Done!

    Hell, if I chuold, I whuold Fund or help you do this, only issue is I live away beyond your place

    I'm pretty sure it's not a matter of just opening the doors, because if so then TB would have had them finished long ago before he left.

    And if we're taking votes...my vote to expanding hideouts is dead last on the list. I would rather see anything done in the game before hideouts expanded. They are "neato" for all of about 30 minutes. In fact, I can't even think of anything so completely useless and resource wasting as that.

    I would rather someone spend time to add litter blowing around the streets of MC before hideouts expanded.

    Guessing things didn't quite go according to plan with the changes. Anytime load balancing etc is involved that's usually not trivial :wink:

    Good point I guess, yet I still whuold love to see the hideout rooms. but likewise, although I hate calling out things dead cuz its not updated much (Yet I did when I was younger) its too harsh to say I find.

    Yeah, LordGar and I looked it over at one point, and there was still a goodly amount of work that would be needed.


    We're in pretty decent shape. We've still got one thing we're trying to figure out, but it doesn't seem too bad. Plan on 10:30 for now.

    Humm, if you don't mind me asking?, how much amount whuold require excaly?, cuz Im just worried for the fact, that when the hideouts do come out, it be too late by then, I'll be ether dead of old age or CO won't exist anymore.

    I rather see old content be done, then giveing new lockboxs, as they seem the most thing you guys care about, the sidekick system, the XP gifting too is still be needing to be done.

    Just my own personal feeling but, it seems leeching money of lockboxs is the only core idea so far, the steel update was geart, but still needs that more vamp, If you go on the Warframe Forms, there is alot of bad things said that is pointed at PW.

    Edit: There really needs a time, where I can try find you on skype or LordGear to really settle this issue down, or do an Q&E day on skype and record it.

    The launcher isn't loading for me at all at the moment it seems. I just get the black screen that says "Loading. Please wait."

    Edit: No sooner do I post this than it goes through to logging in. (I go through Arc by the way.) And it gives me the "The website is experiencing technical difficulties. Normal Gameplay is not affected." I'm expecting to get the "Server is down for maintenance" line too.

    Okay, we're live and open. There is a known bug: The launcher is slow in loading for some people. This is not affecting everyone, but it is affecting some people. We think this is a DNS issue, we'll keep an eye on it.
