All Three Servers Going Down Tomorrow?

MilwaukeeScott

All three servers are going down tomorrow.

What's the Hot Fix they are rushing out?

idk

It does not mean a hot fix. Maintenance is not unusual even if all three servers on the same day is not common.

You may find some information on what they are doing in the Dev Tracker if there is any. Essentially that is what it is for.

This is the regular, bi-weekly PC maintenance. No idea about consoles.

Maintenance on all 3 servers on the same day is extremely unusual.

This is not maintenance as usual by any means.

Probably some new crown store stuff that just can't wait and has to go live on all platforms.

i think we had simultaneous maintenance on the downtimes right before the jester festival, and before midyear mayhem. so they're probably uploading all the new features for the witches festival so they can just "flip the switch" on friday. maybe they have a special team for holiday events, who finds it easier to monitor the uploads all at once instead of spending two days on something relatively simple. it might be a smaller inconvenience to the maintenance teams.

i seem to recall that the 6-way maintenances last a bit longer than the regular ones -- more like 5.5 hours rather than the usual 3.5 hours -- so lets be aware to avoid gnashing our teeth too much this time.

I stated it was not common, but that does not mean the work being performed is anything other than normal maintenance.

I would think the witches festival as well. Though it could be any early fix for the skooma bubbler.

I seem to recall just before Jesters festival all platforms servers went offline at the same time.. and when they came back up the festival was live

6 servers?

Simultaneous maintenance usually means datacenter maintenance. Probably upgrading hardware or stuff like that.

NA and EU for 3 platforms.

Edit: oh lol I see. I actually thought the title said 6 and you were confused. My brain auto fixed it I guess. My bad.

This is more than likely the case with some additional work as Clockwork City launches soon as well.

"Schedule" maintenance at another unscheluded time
