Shard maintenance

byrskibyrski Member Posts: 7 Arc User
I was just wondering why the server would be down with the Jubilee coming to an end. The hours that I see on the site show that the jubilee is up until 10AM PCT but the maintenance is from 5am - 11am? I was hoping to get some last minute purchases and merchant runs in. I'm still relatively new but does this happen often? Does this mean that by the time the servers are up again, the deals will be gone and my renown credits will disappear? Was this announced anywhere?

    It is annoying, but it has happened before, so "experienced" players know to check the forums (and launcher message) frequently, when the end time of an event approaches.

    The good:
    - The jubilee vendor in Protectors Enclave will still be around for another week. This means you can still buy all non-ZEN event items from event currencies from it. The one week additional time period for the vendor has been officially confirmed several times, so you can count on it.
    - The counter on the bounties will not be reset to zero directly (usually the reset is 2-4 weeks after the event, don't take my word for it). This means you can still open bounties and get the higher tier rewards (after 5, 10, 100 boxes). I would advise to open the boxes ASAP and check the counter before you do, because there is no official announcement when the counter will reset.

    The bad:
    - the special ZEN discounts (30% ZEN discount, limited time ZEN purchases) will almost certainly expire at the time advertised, e.g. during the maintenance or shortly after. They might do a hot fix to extend the discounts for another day, because of the outcry, but this is not certain
