Wayhay it's back on finally....
Thank god. We were all turning on each other. lol
funny i still cant get on xbox na
Same, still can't get on xbox eu.
Edit: ok just saw ur sig, ARB82. :-)
Me either.
Me neither, I got over optimistic thinking it had loaded, but it got you away from here and away from the fighting and bloodshed.
still cant sign in :(
Still can't log in. Runs through the whole patching process then gives the failed to download versions error. Unlike the issue with the 2.605 patch, everything looks like it's working until all of a sudden, no go. The previous problem, the patch notes wouldn't ever show up.
So MS has been doing "maintenance" since yesterday at 4pm that effects matchmaking? That's the only reason I have xbox live. I could give a crap about the rest of their content. I subscribe so I can play online games. I have had more issues with Xbox live since the xbox one came out than I've had in all the years I've had an xbox 360 before that. Sorry for the *****ing.
Yeah....same here..goes through the entire process untill installing:0 seconds....had the same exact thing happen to me when 2.605 was released. That's why I stated it. It is identical in every way to the same trouble I had logging in then as it is now. No less...xbox customer support told me matchmaking could be down for another 24 hours...which shuts xbox down basically.
So, if anyone that knows me gets online..shoot me a message...at least thats working lol
no login for me either since yesterday around noon. I even deleted the game, and redownloaded it to check if that would help, didn't. Then i moved the whole file to a separate memory unit to see if that would do something, nope didn't helped either.
Im really disappointed since i personal bought a patron pass, and yesterday morning my clan bought a ark forge bonus ....
Btw I'm on xbox NA.
Same here on xbox na. keep gettig patch error. I deleted everything but still can't apply patch at all. It leaves two 60 kb patches in storage then yeilds patch error.
Sure this has been pointed out but its only effecting Definance as I can play other matchmaking games on xbl with no problems!
Yeah it has something to do with where Microsoft host games that handle their own patches. So mostly just your smaller games.
All i want to do is shoot stuff up for Arktech pursuits because i got it yesterday but no i guess that'll never happen if Microsoft keeps F'ing it up all the time :(
They wouldn't treat EA like this that's for sure.
I have an idea stop playing defiance do you get it :D
In case you missed it, this is what microsoft told me verbatum
"As I checked here, there is a possibility that Defiance Server is using the same "Code" or Port to connect to our server like Call of Duty. Since the connection with Call of Duty is down, Defiance is down as well. If a game is not that big, the developers will use the same connection with other bigger games to allow players to go Online. The process is a bit complex."
just passin along what they told me
Yeah Phantasies explaination seems more plausible.
Any chance this is gonna be fixed before the live stream
A guy that works for server maintenance on the XBL was playing Defiance and repeatedly crited driving around Silicon valley. Then tried to do an expert co op and the Bosses kept disappearing, so he got pissed and pulled the plug.
I still can't log in cuz of the patch it's been a while day now and I'm missing getting the blue gems
well.
i left my system on last nite,and now it appears im all alone online...
nobodys ingame,even the overpass is empty < how strange is that lol
suppose if i rebooted id get that error too,so ill just do some missions for now.
kinda odd question,but why would defiance share server space w call of doo doo?
thats a heavily populated game server there,seems like its just asking for problems?
Lucky bastard. Youre the last man on earth.
Maybe since we can't play we should all look for someone to help us with our LOVE MARRIAGE problems.
introducing the new Twilight Zone Dlc !
ps,my volge typhoon is gettin the workout of its life trying to keep up w the mobs at the arks/incursions.
ive went down more times than a hooker on the corner.
lol!
I'm so peanut butter and jelly of you right now.
Is it up yet? I'm at work.
yeah, managed to log in about 3.5 hours ago in game. but some clan mates still cant get on....
Hi Everyone
Quick update: XBox should be up now, numbers look back to normal, although we are still doing our final verifications. Ill post with more details later today as well.
Sorry for the delay in this post, the forums were also down today and I wasn't able to connect to give an update until just now.

Hi Everyone
Certainly not the most pleasant of posts to make, but it's only fair to also follow up when the outcome was unfavorable for us :).
As mentioned in the Defiance livestream today, this turned out to be a Trion problem and not a XBox Live issue.
Without getting into the boring technical details, the player facing error was identical to the error from ~ a week ago which was because of the XBox Live Service Alert. By amazing coincidence, that same XBox Live Service Alert was posted at the same time the error started happening yesterday.
That, along with other research we did, led us down the wrong path of what we thought was the root cause. As mentioned, the real culprit ended up being on our end.
We did some pretty stressful production rollbacks this morning to stop the issue from happening (the forums were down periodically as a partial side affect; it's painful to know one problem is solved but you can't use your primary means of communication to let players know!), and we will update our pre-release checks so we can catch this specific problem before it ever goes live in the future.
(To top it off, this all happened right as were doing the final Alcatraz Console Certification submission)
But enough excuses - the downtime was unacceptable and we will work hard to prevent it from happening again. We've enabled XP, Weapon Skill and Rep bonuses this weekend for all XBox players as a make-up. You can see more details here.

can you tell us how many people stayed in game? we had an xbox EU member who didnt log out from when trouble started, so was online for like 17 hours... in game, doing arkfalls? he even gained 8 million contribution points during that time, and opened like 7 elite lock boxes
i did the same thing left it on when i went to work.
made for an interesting,albeit lonely run.
i was the only guy on xbox360Na.
to the Devs:
its now randomly disconnecting me,even after restarting the system and Repatching twice now.
this trick used to work,but isnt anymore.
still needs some fine tuning.
When I spoke to xbox support and go to the link supplied by Phantasy I get a contradictory message. The problem is with Trion, which really is besides the point. Trion should have tested this before launching it if there were going to be problems with xbox. It could have been forseen and once again Trion has launched a patch that fails to work or do what it will say it will do.
