Server Maintenance - (09/15/16)

Hello, everyone.

In order to update MtGPQ infrastructure and servers we will be performing scheduled server maintenance tomorrow, September 15, 2016 at 2 PM UTC (10 AM EDT/7 AM PDT).

During the maintenance period the game will be unavailable. Downtime is expected to last approximately 3 hours.

Thank you.

My money is on 6 hours. Anyone else want to try their hand?

GREAT timing doing this in the middle of the event.

Also, in game announcement says 10am UTC but forums say 2pm. Which is it?

It has always been at least double, so i’m going with 8 hours.

I’ll pick 4 hours on the principle that they added an extra hour to the estimate and it should be 2 hours, hence it will actually be 4 hours.

You think it’ll take 5 minutes but you keep a margin , or you think it will really last for 3 hours and therefore take 5 or 6 as usual ?

So much this. When these things happen in the middle of events, we really need to have the same information in both places. Right now players are confused.

Any changes to the cards?

Because the event is not where I want to learn that my cards no longer work the way I expect then to.

Assuming not based on his description of the maintenance.

Side note: Devs, you guys really should plan things better with events and maintenance time conflicts.

It says 10am utc in the game. Which one is it? Or are there two updates?

I’m going for 7 hours icon_e_wink.gif

Can’t wait to get my 250 crystals!

Leaked maintenance notes:

“We did some coding work that affected stuff. This should solve the issues you were experiencing”

isnt it obvious?

10 am UTC = 10 am EDT = 2 pm UTC…

Oh wait that means 10 am UTC = 2 pm UTC

head explodes

You forgot “and we introduced some new issues that you will be excited to find!”

And we have made some stealth changes to keywords in the game again. Surprise!

So is it going down our what?

Games still up. Our did they change it to a mystery time to increase the suspense in game.

They are trying to shake up the meta.
It is too slow now so the fact the server can go down any moment forces players to build very fast decks for the event in attempt to avoid getting a loss cause of maintenance starting mid match

last time they just randomly did the maintenance unannounced, which lost me a game. Now I’m thinking I’m going to miss an entire round because of these delays and lack of communication.

Hey mtgpq devs. I have a proposition give me a phone number and I’ll update these people twice a day every weekday on upcoming items. I have a full time job but I can spend 1 hour out of my busy day of college and military work to leave two posts a day.
