Server Outage 8/3

We’re working on getting them back up ASAP. The upside is that this Event had by far and away the largest concurrent user playtime ever!

Update: Servers are coming back up in a controlled manner with batches of users allowed back on to ease onloading and confirm stability. Expect to see no Versus Events available for a little bit until we get everything stabilized and can flip it all back on again. Rewards would be next out after we get everyone back to playing.

The update is appreciated.

I’m sure that no one (except for the servers) was surprised by the turnout. Unique format, most wanted character, fun dialogue. While I know it isn’t easy to provide that kind of thing consistently, I hope the devs took note of what made for a popular event.

Upside usually means an upside for the players aka customers… just fyi

Echoing others, the event itself was great. Excellent writing, fun team compositions, Ares finally getting a line. Refreshingly quick and begging for a rerun at some point.

My only regret (aside from having boneitis) is that I didn’t think to try and grab a Devil Dino team up while fighting against him and Deadpool.

I can’t guarantee anything, gotta research how the server outage actually affected people first. From our anecdotal end at the moment it looks like they went unstable at literally the last minute so for Deadpool, it affected a small subset of people that were trying to get in that one single last match. If that’s the case across the board, the results would be quite a bit different than if they were unavailable before that. Still researching and I haven’t yet seen communications as to the precise nature of it yet.

That being said, it also affected Thor’s PVP for the final hour, so there’s definitely that to consider.

See what you guys can accomplish when you put your minds to it! Unfortunately Deadpool is just mediocre, but, the event was fun!

Mediocre? You kidding? Outside of sentry the guy is a health pack usage waiting to happen.

Hello “last minute” i’m trying to connect 1 hour and still nothing is that last minute as you say icon_eek.gif

Wow. Above the entire thread board with an “I”. Never seen that before.

FYI. We had a nice service for Herman the hamster. He gave his little furry life for the best darn pve in a long while!

because of this I do not get the cover hood. It is not fair

That’s what happens when you finally add a character we have all been begging for. Listening to the players worked out for a change, eh?

^This. Totally agree.

but moreover +1 for you IceIX (and Demiurge) for the quick statement:
“Yes, We’re aware the servers have gone down”
We were numerous to said that where some issue happens, the least is to say to us that you are aware of the problem.
That what you did and quickly, thanks! icon_e_smile.gif

heh took them an hour and 15 minutes to say “yeah, servers are down”. no bueno

Time to buy more hamsters and wheels? Or time to feed the hamster more steroid so it’ll last longer? icon_rolleyes.gif

Wait wait… Ares got a line!!! I was too busy skipping the dialogues so I can maximise my grind time. Can I play the event again so I can see the undoubtedly literal gold that must’ve spewed forth from his mouth? icon_e_biggrin.gif

WOW…
Lookit all da names of ‘users currently online’. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it so long…

Hey all, wake up your alliance mates and get’em to the forums! Lessee if we can break a record(or another server!!)

That’s just what we’d need. icon_e_smile.gif

The record was set about an hour ago.

Really sucks if you actually cared about keeping up in seasons. Really horrible timing.

way better than usual. a progress is a progress.
