SERVER DOWN?

[PharisHanasaki]

Yes of course I missed it because I was at work lol. Just logged in and got booted, checked the forums, announcement was made last night at 1am, but didn't mention when it's going to happen, besides the little disclaimer that says, you get told an hour prior to this happening in game lol. Still they could have done a better job on that, I don't mind 10 minutes, but the way it's once again handled is pretty much amusing to me.

Because if they tell you when they're going to do it this would be pointless. AFK people can just log back in after that time.

Nope, it's this:

SE announced at 12pm PST (for Aether at least) that they were kicking everyone out for 10 minutes to get rid of the AFK players bypassing the auto-kick timer currently in place on congested worlds. Not sure if Primal announced a similar time, but for Aether, that time was 15 minutes ago.

well i think they should show this notice when u log on, RIP those dps who r waiting 30 mins for daily lol

I fail to see why they can't do this exclusively on the relevant server(s).

They deliberately didn't announce the time because they didn't want people to game it.

Edit: How can people afk for 8-10 hours at work log back in if they're not home?

AFK people will log back in after that time regardless when it's happening. I understand you would love to give me some kind of back hand every time I post somewhere, but you need to try a bit harder, it isn't working.

You may have missed it. About an hour ago I got a message saying that the daily reboot would take place at 12 PM PST and asked everyone to log out before that time.

Jeez, i can log on now, but i am in 620 que. As far as i know, there is no que for me b4 maint. Thank SE for 10 mins off and another 10 mins waiting lol

This is actually the first post I've replied to you. If I replied to you in the past, I don't remember.
I just don't like 'smart' people making negative remarks of stuff that's beyond their understanding. Like you said, you are at work, why are you complaining about this anyways?

[OwlBlackX]

Person post this. Same mine server. They always afk like this so annyoing

Yeah, this I definitely agree with. If the hour notice has been given and someone logs in, have them say "Your server will be restarted in x minutes" when you login. That way they don't get blindsided if they login between the one hour announcement and the server going down.

A login message warning you would be nice ....
