Topic: [308767] Hotfix 23/05/16

[-308767] hornby19 (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 2:59 p.m.

Just wondering @CM Arcanine what is this for?
you say it is for "foreseeable issues" any more than that lol?
Issues for what?

[4428245] Zenzer (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:01 p.m.

Hotfix 30 minutes before the event ends when people are doing their final hits...

[4428247] Fortis (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:01 p.m.

What about all the players who couldn't fight for top100 in the FLs or spring because of this update? Why did this update have to be 30 mins before the end of FLs?

[4428256] hornby19 (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:02 p.m.

massive oversight on GGE's behalf...maybe they thought something would go wrong at the end of spring  event?
also Steve said 45mins ago it would be a small hotfix.... taking quite a while...

[4428269] hornby19 (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:03 p.m.

Cant be...they would of done an update announcement...

[4428272] Tillytoes1 (GB1) [None] :: May 23, 2016, 3:04 p.m.

The stress is always at it's highest point at the final hours of the event, warning or not, having it at this time isn't the greatest idea. But if this update prevents issues with spring/foreign ending, then i won't complain. 

[4428291] hornby19 (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:06 p.m.

Quite right, but some info from @CM Arcanine would be appreciated....

You would complain if you were top100 in FLs before the update and outside of it after the update....you'd lose out on a FL helmet and the FL hero, which is one of the best in the game

everyone else would be off to thought mate,so in theory no-one would get any more time than anyone else

Yes but some players would have hits already out before the update was announced. So if I was 100th and 101st launched a big hit that landed in 30 mins and the update comes....there's nothing I can do. 

[4428333] CM Arcanine [None] :: May 23, 2016, 3:09 p.m.

Hey guys,

Apologies for the delays here. We should be able to get the servers back live soon, just had to have a little extended maintenance due to some offsite issues. 

The hotfix itself will prevent any problems happening with events that may run this week, as we noticed a problem which would cause rewards not to rotate as planned, sorry for being vague!

We'll get the servers up ASAP, and regarding the loss of time in the War of the Realms, we're already in discussions

All the best, and thanks for the patience,

Steve.

Of course i would, but if the ending of the event got screwed up, then maybe we wouldn't even get the equipment we worked for?

Really stupid from GGE. . .everyone is rushing for top 100 in spring event and then a 'fix' -_- For a company that makes millions of $$$, there are some really dumb people working there

[4428336] Eriu (GB1) [None] :: May 23, 2016, 3:09 p.m.

i would more complain about getting attacked and not being able to defend due to gge hot fix that was supposed to be short, nice to see people have to pay for gge messing up

[4428339] hornby19 (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:09 p.m.

hmm suppose so...but you could of done a big hit too i guess

Yeah, this ... it's just as inconveniencing for everyone, and a lot of people around the 100th mark were all manically firing hits out to finish top 100. There's no guarantee what would happen differently if it was up either.

Just one of those amusing and tense popcorn moments we love so much

[4428359] hornby19 (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:11 p.m.

Cheers stevie, clears things up a bit;))


IS a summer contest going to start tomorrow?

[4428361] UltraFlavoured (GB1) [GB1] :: May 23, 2016, 3:11 p.m.

Didnt know the German for 'Quick' is 'Slow as f%$£'

Would be great to know what they are trying to fix.. I assume the reason its not been mentioned is due to the fact they have no confidence in it actually being fixed.

The things that most annoy customer is 'lack of information' & 'Wrong information' GoodGame Studios normally take it in turns on which they will be using. Today they chose both. 
Congratulations.
