24h maintenance and gardens

[AutumnsHollow]

wtf really? Man that's so bogus, RIP my thav onions. T_______T

I tended 1 min before maintanance, I for see them all dieing when I log in as soon as it's back up

I think corps like Glazenut or Thavnairian Onion die without receiving care at least every 24 hours (pretty sure they turn purple well under 24 hours, and at dies about 24 hours +-) and according to the official response on the japanese thread, corps don't stop growing during maintenance, i.e. your high level corp will die no matter what you do... so be prepared for the worst.

if there's an outcry about this after maintenance *maybe* SE will do something to compensate

This is not true, I've had Thavnairian onions become sad due to not watering them for a day. IIRC a plant dies if it's not watered for 3 days or if it becomes sad 3 times, so unless you have been bad at tending them before patch they should not die.

Tended my own and my FC's gardens 5 hrs before Maintenance was to begin. It was 10 PM Eastern, I simply cannot stay up to 3 a.m. to last minute tend e-plants. Will log in as soon as they let us. I didn't have anything important growing (almonds/sylkis), but I don't want to miss out on my intercross seeds. :/

And BTW wft on answering the JP thread but not ours. Google translation makes NO sense.

"Good evening. Because even during server maintenance growth of crops not stop, although there is likely to wither during maintenance, all of the crops that exist at the moment, is to be able to withstand more than a day from the given water have. You're sorry for any inconvenience for a long time of maintenance, but if you are doing the cultivation, and from as much as possible given the water in front of the maintenance will ask that you will be able to log out.

I watered mine around 11pm central, though I think quite a few were a couple hours away from being ready for harvest. I'm expecting the worst for that bunch

I am definitely screwed. I was trying to crossbreed some plants to get some thav onion seeds, but couldn't play over the weekend. I doubt anyone in my FC watered them, since no one else really cares about gardening in my FC. They will definitely be dead tomorrow.

[Firepower]

I probably just lost 16 krakka seeds since I failed to water them yesterday due to being sick and not being able to do it today probably has killed them.

Another factor which nobody so far counted in is that not everyone will manage to download and install patch before the servers will go live or to login right away so despite the fairly long time the plants should survive without tending many will be streching this to (or even) beyond the limits ...

[Grekumah]

Since crops and other elements do not stop during maintenance times, there is a possibility that they will wither, but watering your plants will allow them to last for over a day without further care.

Goodbye everyone's onions...
