I am not asking for an exact nanosecond estimate, but a ballpark console estimate is not too much to ask. Or at least some idea of the problem to explain WHY they can't give one.
well the thing is that how many of the playerbase have the IT-knowledge to actually understand the explanation if one was given. Sometimes it's better to give vague estimates then trying to waste resources trying to explain something most wouldn't understand anyway.
first it is comming back at 3pm my time, then its pushed to 4pm my time, and now its 4pm and to my *not*surprise its now pushed back to 5. hrm, i wonder if i will see the game at all today? i know my admiralty is shot for the day, so that isnt even gonna get touched since i do them 5 times daily and i have already now lost 3 of those 5 runs, oh well, soo much for playing today, prob start fresh tomorrow, if it actually comes back by tomorrow. i guess it really will be tomorrow, i just noticed it got pushed back to 6:30 est time, hrm, whats next 11pm my time then no game time what so ever. you guys need to plan better this is getting tiresome you say 3 then it is 3. not 4. not 5. not 6, not 7. dont keep adding time, if you cant be ready by 2 then outright push it back and tell is it wont be ready till tomorrow am, then i will just say fk it and play something else rather than wait for you to keep stalling all day.
Dear god - I really do wonder what some people DO with their lives. Granted it's civilised here (on the forum), but Facebook? Crying about this or that bug not being fixed (idiotic considering this was NEVER touted as a bug fix patch), demands for compensation. Lots of over-entitlement.
I despair sometimes.
This being the internet, it's hard for me to tell if posters are serious or not.
My default is to assume it's some sort of joke that translates poorly over the internet.
People, please. Surely you know by now that if the game is down for an extended period, always add at least three hours to their estimate and/or prepare for an emergency patch shortly after the game comes back online.
I anticipated this and made sure my fleet's gulag projects would be ticking over while the game was down, rather than be left incomplete and waiting to be filled once the game was back up.
I see it like road maintenance, do major maintenance during off peak hours. It is a simple concept that every large city most do. Don't see why they couldn't use that technique... its only logical
Ok, this happens on every game and every network, there are times where they have to update the software and this is one of those times where they are updating the hardware, as it is a 24hr thing there is no such thing as "doing it night" as it would always affect someone in one of the timezones, more often or not it affects those in the EU the vast majority of the time, of which I am in.
So, that we are clear there are some more important things going on in the world than this game, here is a list and in no particular order
1) The actions of the current POTUS
2) Brexit
3) Catalonia independence drive
4) Fires in Portugal (and I think Spain) and in California.
5) North Korea
6) Corruption in Brazil, Argentina, Venuzuela.
7) Fighting between the Kurds and Iraqis
8) Ongoing violence, death, destruction, disease and famine in the various parts of the world
9) Global warming
10) The reduction of the effectiveness of Antibiotics.
And that is just to name a few, so, if you are going to whine, gripe, moan or just get irritated because a game is not currently working, please take a moment to consider the above list.
Nice job with the Flash Sale today, during Maint. Thanks for nothing.
There was no flash sale today.
Yeah that will never happen they will always be players that will never be happy all I ask is if you gonna do bug fixes actually do bug fixes biggest pet peeve I have on games other than that the game is good just a lot of annoying bugs. I wonder what the maintenance is for if not for bugs being down this long musta been a major issue.
No major issue. This is routine maintenance that's done to PWE infrastructure and happens at least two times a year.
Xbox is back up. Thanks for being so patient, guys, we're bringing PC and PS4 back as fast as we can.

Am assuming that American server has the most players at any given time. So yes, there is peak hours.
ps, love the list
It does, so far as I know - but the point is they'll never please everyone.

and these are why gamers like me can never have nice things. Ambassador, thank you for keeping us informed, I am hoping that you and your staff are able to return us PS4 users to sector space again soon.

They posted they didnt post news on it because it was a simple restart and maint. yet they have extended it by a hour now like 6 times... Doesnt seem so simple....
Duke Nukem Forever started development in 1996. In 2001, after the years of users asking when it will be finished 3D realms put out an official press statement that made the release date: "When it's done".

Brexit is only an issue for the minority that voted against it in a democratic referendum. The same applies to the election of the current POTUS. Still, politics has no place on a thread regarding STO (a temporary escape from the real world) and will only cause friction. Peace.

Always expect something will go wrong.

It was officially released in 2011.
