Twitter update about 40 mins ago said they're still working on it. Still no ETA.
I'm just glad they're patching the game and really trying to improve our experience. Maybe that's just me, idk.
I am glad they are patching the game too but dude...
to say "No ETA" ? That's really sketchy. am I wrong here?
Nope, not sketchy. They are fixing severe issues with the last patch, it happens.Quote:

Well UPS is late delivering my copy of Injustice that I was hoping to play while waiting on the servers/patch to be fixed, ordering on Amazon instead of just going and buying a copy at the store really backfired on me there :).
trollbait much? Okay, I'll rise to it.Quote:

Shtako happens.
They're fixing it.
Shut up and drink your juicebox.
Because all other games had perfect patches in the past... Let's forget about the ones that corrupted save-games, introduced more bugs than fixes or made the game unplayable. Just because we have the right to be this completely ignorant and be awesome complaining about it on a forum.Quote:

There is always the other side of the spectrum, Funcom patches Patches to every game patch, really, this isn't half as bad as other AAA MMO Patches, don't be a drama queen.Quote:

Set to follow @DefianceGame, and setup notification alerts. This way, when they post, you get a notification.Quote:

Anyone remember 6-12 hour Everquest patch days? you'll get your crack eventually. play some spider solitaire in the meantime
My thoughts exactly. Although I am frustrated that I'm not able to play on my day off, I understand how launching patches can have unexpected issues. My advice to the troll? Grow up, and when you make an MMO that thousands are playing maybe then you can be so judgemental.Quote:

I love the fact so many people are loosing their minds over this. A never before attempted project on a massive scale...personally I'd rather thank them for attempting to do something that's never been done before.
I demand 1 free EGO unit for every hour of down time!
Really? Wot also test their patches on test servers for atleast 1 month before sending it to the live servers..and there are never any issues once they go live with it.Quote:

Not sketchy at all. It just means that something is really effed right now. You should be happy that they're fixing this. This update was huge, so you can expect some errors. It will be well worth the wait lol.Quote:

1. The game was rushed to make deadline (even though they had 5 years)
2. There are lazy programmers who cut corners wherever they can in ALL tech job fields. You will learn to live with it or stop getting on the internet.
3. At least Trion is owning up to their mistakes and not pulling an "EA" and saying it must be our fault and the game is working as intended.
4.NBC-Universal pressured Scy-Fy and Trion to hit the April deadlines, and Trion was busy making expansions for Rift at the end of last quarter, so no surprise that there was some procrastination and last minute band-aides being slapped on to take the piggies to market.
5. No amount of begging, pleading, griping, complaining, or defending is going to speed up the patching/re-patching/post re-patching patching that is required for us to play relatively smoothly, so **** already.
6. Let's all relax, drink a beer at 3:00 pm Est., talk about how awful taking your 4 month old baby to the doctor to get shots solo is, and patiently wait until we get the green light to get back in the game. Sheesh.
Jeez louise. I remember Anarchy Online putting out a big patch. Followed by emergency maintenance 2 hours later. Followed by a patch 6 hours later to fix (attempt to) the bugs that patch caused followed 3 hours later by a 2 day downtime... "see ya after the weekend". It could be worse, believe me. As one poster said, go enjoy your juicebox. Or here is a novel idea... heaven forbid you might read a good book for a few hours. I can recommend a few thousand.

I have actually been reading the book Host by Stephanie Meyer while I wait so I can catch up before the movie comes out on dvd and I watch it lol so good adviceQuote:

Host is a great book. GLad you are enjoying it. I was fully wrapped up in that book from the first page. It was a most enjoyable journey.
Well they at least had the decency to temporarily raise the XP gained as compensation for the downtime.Quote:
