Sooo.. What's the 5 hour maintenance for?

[KadenRaines]

I'm thinking it's an emergency maintenence to fix the latency issues across the worlds. But, they could also do the 2.28 hotfixes as well if they had the patches ready for those. Lag, is probably the safer thing to bet on being fixed... LOL

Judging from that the fact that it says "server maintenance" I am inclined to say (and am hoping) that it is to fix the 90k & 2002 issues (among others). Hopefully. I was 90k'd during a Praetorium roulette and when I got back, it wasn't displaying any ground effects, not even targeting recticles that show at the base of PCs & NPCs. Needless to say, doing Prae from Nero onwards was an interesting challenge when I wasn't able to see things like plumes, voids, the electrical bad stuff surrounding the edge of Nero.

They might also be fixing the hotbar bugs introduced in 2.28

I'll venture a guess and say 018 sightseeing has been gated waiting for this ninja patch.

GAHHH!!! 5 HOURS WTF?!?!?! oh... middle of the night... carry on.

Or, as we old-worldy Europeans would call it, the morning.

Its funny, I called this maintence. Had this feeling. 3 of us in my FC kept getting 9k and lagging like crazy. I experienced the same thing. Got 9k'd twice in the afternoon. Was lagging just running around the open world. You know when your fighting something and they like skip across your screen, was seeing that to. I had a feeling it was pretty wide spread, and not just me. Looks like I was right ^^

just the other day I experienced something others have mentioned for the first time. I was doing brayflox normal. Was on the final fight with the dragon. During the fight I could not see anything on the ground. The poison he spits out was completely invisible. I just stood in a puddle until someone yelled at me in chat to move. At that point I noticed it and ended up just stacking on someone else and just follow them around the room. Also after we beat it that teleport out crystal was invisible to. Just say its name floating in the air. Plus as a blm trying to LB, my aoe indicator did not appear on the ground, all I saw was a little arrow.

Hopefully I wont see that again.

It's obviously to restore the lights to the Cragsoul lamps, duh.

[Maero]

It was so bad yesterday half the time i could not see were my mana was at after casting spells,
