Looks like they got hacked again -.-

source? or just speculation?

[Shiriokumo]

some guys decided to hack the playstation system security and posted a video of them running a bootleg CFW and playing pokemon emerald. sony shut down the service to fix this problem and any ability to run a virtual OS. go read the article on IGN

I think SE should make it so we can bank dailies/weeklies. Only get 350 Eso tomes this week? Well, your cap is 550 for next week. Didn't get your Void Ark item this week? Now you can get 2 items next week. But SE will never implement something like this because they want us to press the button for our pellet every day. Google "reinforcement schedules" and "operant conditioning" if you want to know more about why this will never be a reality. Not allowing banking (or simply removing lockouts/caps) creates the psychological need to log in. This can be pretty frustrating when something like an unscheduled maintenance interferes with meeting this need.

I'd rather this game didn't rely on gimmicks like lockouts/caps and instead relied on compelling gameplay. Of course, technical issues would still be frustrating but not to the level they are now (being pushed back a week and kept that way until the next raid/tome cycle).

[Whatever]

Might as wel say goodbye to my gardens.. I was growing blood peppers :'( I'm jjust hoping my fc leader got my fb message to water them lol *crosses fingers*

While unlimited banking would defeat the purpose of the timed features, a limited version of it (e.g. this week's allowance can carry over into next week, but not into the week after) might be feasible, at least for some of the stuff.

I'm pretty sure anyone can tend plants, even people not from your FC. You'd still need to get back in in time to harvest, but in the meantime, which house? Is this the FC house associated with your forum avatar, Althana (Plot 60, 8 Ward, The Goblet)? Is anyone on Malboro available to go to Althana's place and water her blood peppers?

(I'm on the wrong server, so couldn't even if I can get in, but it only takes someone from your server who sees this message and has PC access or a console that's already logged in so doesn't need PSN.)

I just got on, even after having closed the application. Took a few tries (me being stubborn) of closing the app and restarting it, but after getting a handful of PSN is down messages, one time the launcher made it through.

I've been fine on my PS4 all day. When you aren't playing, do you put yours in Rest or fully switch it off?

Only ever put it to rest if I was downloading something overnight. Thanks for the replies. Learned alot about how to avoid being locked out in future when PSN goes down. Rest mode all the way from now on.
