Mogstation got 4 Maintenances since EW launch

[lezard21]

Says the guy who mass started threads about how angry he is at SE and how everyone that doesn't agree with him is an SE whiteknight out to get him. You are the THE angriest one around here since launch.

Did you already forget how you started 2-3 threads about compensation? and then posted like a rabid maniac after getting said compensation because you were angry about the compensation?

Link or quote the topics where I demanded for compensation. I never asked for any. I asked for what I paid for.

You know, for a stalker you are a pretty bad one

I dunno what OP is on. I was online during the maintenance.

Th...that's not what I said at all? In fact the 2nd comment on this very thread was arguing that they couldn't do maint to lobby without kicking everyone from the game, to which I replied linking the lobby maintenance in June.

Do whiteknights and fanboys even read what people say or do you just lack any empathy and jump straight to attack and insult?

there is no place for people like you in here.

There's even less room for this kind of bullshit. You get out.

Why can't people understand that it takes time to figure out what is causing an issue? Then once you've identified it, it takes time to come up with the solution. Then it takes more time to see if the solution has completely resolved the issue or not.

You're right. Let's not say anything about these issues, then, and pretend all is well, and that nothing is wrong. That way, they'll definitely know there's a problem.

Thank God you're all here to let them know about the problem they already acknowledged from the start.

Don't thank me, thank the people actually informing them. I'm usually late to the party, but they can be your hero. <3

Yeah man, they doing the lord's work informing SE about a problem they literally told us about before hand and that we know they're trying to fix. They're, as Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect 2 would say, big goddamn heroes. /s

This thread didn't age well. They're now doing maintenance on the login servers.

Maybe the people who work on the website and work on the game are different people? I'm a web developer, I wouldn't know the first thing about fixing lobby and login server issues for a video game. But I have plenty of experience fixing web issues and putting web servers into maintenance to apply said fixes.

Honestly, these fixes have come out pretty quickly, though in fairness they're not guarantee to work, but sounds like they may alleviate the issues.

It is telling that in order to help alleviate the 2002 that they've resorted to using backup development servers, it shows how much they really are trying to squeeze the resources they have available to them, especially as all solutions have been about how much further they can spread and optimise those resources rather than any screw ups on their part.

They've already done what they can to upgrade the specifications on existing servers to get more out of them (ahead of Endwalker). But all of the problems go back to one point: there's more traffic than the servers can handle and they need more servers or less traffic. And they can't get more servers and getting rid of traffic would cause more anger from the playerbase who wants to play.

All they're doing is sticking on a bandaid that alleviates the problem and not fixes it. Although it'll mean the data centres can now handle 21,000 connections in the queue instead of 17,000, it'll mean fewer people hit 2002, but people will still hit it if we hit 21,000 connections in the queue.

Also, buying servers isn't as easy as many people thing it is. I mean, yeah, buy one or two is a simple thing, but buy 24 more servers isn't as easy as to ask for food delivery. That if they actually can buy them, knowing how corporations work, they probably can't, meaning they have to navigate between their own departaments to ask for more server. Corporation may have other needs and priorities, money needs to be checked as it goes in and out... There's a lot of internal information we don't know. What I do know is, the big population boom was in late june, that is 4-5 months ago. For a problem like this, that isn't time at all. Specially if they were working on the final stages of Endwalkers, which are normally the more problematic and most intense.
I mean, it's not about defending someone or not, but the "they should have bought more servers" may not be that easy. I don't know if they should've done something before or not, but the excuse of "we didn't had time" seems actually pretty logic. And since then they've been supportive, communicative and transparent, which isn't the normal thing to do, for that at least they have my thanks. Normally teams close themselves in a shell, post a generic message of "please be patient" and don't tell you why, where and how the problem is and how they are trying to solve it. At least they are talking to us like profesionals should talk to customers. There's a problem, the problem is this, and we are trying to do this and that to solve it. That's far more important than any 7 days or some skin or anything of the sort.

...meanwhile the login server has had 0 maintenance and still kicks people out randomly.

Glad to see where the priorities lie!

They're doing their best!

[Aelin_Ashryver]

Servers just had a maint not long ago for 30 mins and another maint due tomorrow as well as them adding dev servers for login queue's. 4004's should be going away hopefully huzzah and far fewer 2002s'

Just remember, people like lezard will never ever be satisfied.
