Maintenance for the week of November 25:
• [COMPLETE] Xbox: NA and EU megaservers for maintenance – November 27, 6:00AM EST (11:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EST (14:00 UTC)
• [COMPLETE] PlayStation®: NA and EU megaservers for maintenance – November 27, 6:00AM EST (11:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EST (14:00 UTC)

Server Maintenance for 14 hours only on Playstation Servers? Why?

    Thank you for telling me what "everyone" expected. Perhaps "everyone" should include the people that actually make these announcements. Because up until 7 minutes ago the header still said the server would be up at 4 pm eastern.

    Yeah, I'm disappointed (I'm actually off work this week) but I can't honestly say I'm overly surprised.

    And this is why you don't do these long maintenance sessions during events. A lot of people will not get login rewards, event tickets or endeavors today.

    Like someone said… 17 hour maintenance during an event is madness, but what we’ve come to expect from people who don’t apply common sense to their actions.

    What happens to people on the NA server that don’t don’t get their tickets today because of this? Nothing… is the likely response.

    Nevermind, it's in the banner "7:00 PM EDT."

    So, 4:00 PM my time.

    Yikes! Now 10:00 Eastern/7:00 Pacific.

    Going from bad to worse.

    So the announcement was buried in the bowels of one of the unvisited sub-forums here. It only showed up early this morning, after I had already posted my thread about it.

    Why couldn’t it be put in the header banner so everyone could see it and know about it?

    It is in the header banner...

    It just says general maintenance, not server upgrade.

    None of them ever said server upgrade, but it was assumed when it was 14 hours (not normal) and affecting only one platform and server. Was the same way with XBox NA’s upgrade a week or two ago.

    Any chance the event will be extended a day? We're not the only platform to be upgraded during an event. But the other event was extended by a day to make up for this.

    What I see officially is:

    "Scheduled times are May 16 at 2:00 AM EDT to May 16 at 4:00 PM EDT."

    Still correct?
    :o

    No, the banner at the top of the forum was updated at 4pm Eastern to now say maintenance is extended to 7pm Eastern.

    And you wait to casually "announce" the extension in the forum header until right when the servers were supposed to be up. You're a massive company. Start acting like it. There's no excuse for this lack of communication or having the servers down for an entire day of an event.

    They did not write on Twitter until 4:02 pm, LOL! Like who does that, announce it sooner?

    Or all the Americans living in other countries (and other countries who use NA server), they don't get the tickets cause 7pm is midnight in England (just naming a country).

    Somehow I'm not surprised. For a company that struggles with communication as much as this one does, I can see how even writing a brief tweet before you extend maintenance can be difficult.

    Hi everyone! Yes, confirming today is the hardware upgrade for the PlayStation NA megaserver, hence the longer-than-usual maintenance.

    1. Thanks for upgrading the PS/NA megaserver!
    2. 17 hours maintenance during an event? Ouch!

    A project this complicated cannot be estimated down to the minute. They give a best guess and then extend it if they need it. I have not personally played a single game where maintenance is always exactly what they said it would be every time.

    The part that irritates me about this was MYM was moved for PC so they could finish the upgrade. So, why have the event now or not have extended a day in anticipation for PS NA? They extended the event for Xbox and outright moved the event for PC.

    Right. Didn’t they start Jesters Festival a day early to account for PC EU being offline for 14 hours for their server upgrade?

    Will we be afforded the same courtesy?

    As a trading guild GM, this is especially excruciating.

    I want to know the results of trader flip, in addition to being given a feasible chance at login rewards and event tickets.

    Yup. They did. And somehow I don't think so, but we won't know until it's over I suppose.
