Damn annoying! Atleast set the time counter on the event right, so that it includes server downtime!!

    Yeah. Got up early to make sure I had plenty of time to do one last event. Update moved up two hours. :/

    They did announce that the game would be under extended maintenance today, last week.
    They even announced it on the forums, rather than twitter or reddit, or shouting it in the parking lot.

    Same thing happened to me. I was in round 4 when the server went down.

    I set an alarm too. I don't remember a time where I couldn't trust the in game timer in an online game. Very unprofessional.

    It's available now. Still about 1.5 hours of event left to play.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Cryptic was crashing yesterday, and now the patch is crashing too.

    IDK what the OP is talking about. I just played it 5 minutes ago and it still has 48 minutes left (as of this post).

    New players:

    NEVER assume you will be able to play events or buy on-sale items on the morning of the last day.

    Maintenance might start early, maintenance might run long, the event or sale might or might not come back after maintenance. The listed ending time is not set in stone. Customer service will not give you your "lost" event progress or sale price.

    I was able to log back in when the patch was complete and play one more time before the event ended! No complaints here!

    The arena is never early... or late... it arrives precisely when it means to..

    They announced last week that there would be an extended downtime today starting at 5 Pacific, which for me is 8 Eastern (normal is 7 Pacific). I got it in in time.

    Or Square-Enix or *insert MMO company here". maintenance happening early or lasting longer is by no means unprecedented. Unexpected hick-up can and will happen so trusting in-game timers like it's a divine edict was never possible.
