I'm not going to bother any more. Please read. Lots of helpful posts in these besides what I linked.
lol really? Are you sure you want your name next to that post?
Seems your logic goes something like this then:
It works for me. So it's clearly not an issue on SE's end.
This is about what you're getting at is it? I mean, it's not what you said word for word, but clearly what you're implying.
I agree with the OP. There is a difference in emergency and prompt. if there is some hotfixes they want to deploy, then they should apply the fixes by region within the non-peak hours. using emergency label so they can do it during their work day instead of when least impact to customer base is poor management.
in all cases there should be a minimum window of the longest event so not to disrupt / alienate their customers.
the bottom line is that if they tested their code before releasing it better, we wouldn't have all of this. Oh, and before someone replies with 'you cant test everything': yes you can. They control the servers, the zones, the abilities jobs have and the boss. There are unit tests which can fight the boss 1000's of times in a day using every ability available.
This Monday night there was a lag spike which clearly indicated that the servers lagged and not the players or the internet. Titan literally paused for 20 seconds then resumed (not rubber banded).
