so whats the emergency maintenance for?

[Cellia]

seems like every time I come back from a break the streak of maintenances comes right afterwards. so many shadow maintenances its irritating as hell.

[WHS]

Hotfixes on patch 2.57 apparently needed some hotfixing but instead of calling it hotfix on the hotfix they just call in emergency maint. lol

Most likely something incredibly minor that could easily wait until a regular maintenence, but this is SE we're talking about. Even Sega/Sonic Team had a better track record with this stuff in PSU, and that's saying a whole hell of a lot considering how they borked just about everything else in that game.

Maybe to prepare to the event for tomorrow?

I'm guessing increase of poetics per instance/roulette bonus, since 900/week takes quite a bit of effort. That way we can go back to quickly capping and being out of stuff to do for the next 5 weeks.

SE isn't THAT bad. And at least they keep up to date with maintenance. Better than playing other games that just patch the game, then have them shut down for 2 days while they fix it, then bring it back and then constantly do "live maintenance" to fix something, or disable this specific something. They DO do live maintenance, sometimes, but not as often as other games that I've played. And things definitely are much "healthier" here.

I love all this hate on maintenance. It's like they don't want the devs to fix the game or something. "Can't they just wait till a proper maintenance to do their hotfixes?" Then what would be the point of calling it a hotfix? No, seriously, hotfixes are usually fixes for something that could be potentially game-breaking though the latest one was mostly to quiet the people crying for poetics to be uncapped. But such hotfixes are the exception, most others have actually been to fix things that could break the game. I'm fine with maintenances, it means they care enough to fix it now instead of later. Besides, it's Tuesday night during a school week, shouldn't you be getting some sleep?

Some people can't help but exaggerate.

Also emergency maintenance can be to fix exploits, which they aren't going to list under patch notes either. As that sort of info doesn't need to be put out to the general playerbase.

Also hardware maintenance, server side updates, that info isn't listed in patch notes either. Only the stuff that is applicable to us as players.

*Ahem*

Yo dawg, I've heard you like hotfixes.
So I've put a hotfix in your hotfix so you can hotfix while you hotfix.
