ZOMG Downtime!
 

Whines here!

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

i am most dissapointed

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Speaking on behalf of a terran. I am utterly devistated by the downtime.

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

And it looks like we're down for 12 hours. Awaiting PA Team comment in this thread.

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

EDIT: [01:08] <Lunar_Lamp> I said 12hours earlier. Evidently our own policies disagree with what I said.
[01:09] <Lunar_Lamp> Just to confirm to everyone - that is 24hours of downtime.

NOOOO :(

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

long as they don't roll back that last tick i'm indifferent :)

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

AWESOME :) finally some sleep

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

24 hours then. Go outside, get some fresh air, change your poopsock.

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

What is a poopsock?

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

A poopsock eliminates the need to go all the way to the bathroom, which wastes valuable gaming time.

:(

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

I'm a fan of recycling myself (pun intended).


But back to the topic at hand:

OH MY GAWD TEH GAME IS DOWN

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

WHIIIIIIIIII! Game down!
Now I'm really upset I didn't go to the pub :/

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

I came back from a potential night out for this. Petition for pa smses when the game goes down!

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

So that's 2% of the (already short) round gone. :-)

I wonder what the record is for the least number of ticks in a round of Planetarion? (Excluding the half-rounds from 9 to 10.5).

My guess is that it was last round - by some margin.

(I was wrong - it's 1129 ticks - in round 20).

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

I took my precautions, I have a few screenshots saved, i'll be able to stare at them for hours, just as if the game was up...

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Would you be so kind and upload those screenshots for us? Withdrawal symptoms are not nice. :(

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Noooooo, an alliance went through the trouble of scanning and setting up an attack on my galaxy, putting it all neatly into parser and they were done picking and ready to launch... the cin breaks the intraweb!!!??? I needed to offload some roids goddammit :|

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

speedgame ftw

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

my attack is pretty much canceled now :/ kree sleeps together with aldarn :/

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

I lost 7k co because I couldn`t login to recall my attack fleet but it seems no rollback so I am screwed :/

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

u guys owe whoever paid for my credit some money!!!

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Who the hell would want to attack your loser-galaxy? :confused: :(

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Hmz, who had routing problems this time?
I find it odd they do this for some players and not others.
Was 1-2 rounds ago there were some major routing problems in Norway, and I didn't notice any downtime in pa.

But when the Canadian moose people had a little hiccup they shut it down.
Do i sense some sort of trend? :o

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Discrimination I tell you!!

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Yes, and I who woke up at the middle of the night to do coverts so i could get my #1 spot back (well, got out of bed to take my midnight pee, but still counts) and then the game was offline :(

I WANT SYMPATHY!

There is NOTHING written there about what happens if one tick is affected.

We would not have needed this downtime.

Kills the game-spirit and the work of many BCs arranging attacks.

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

How does it lockhead? it only affects those who have JUST launched an attack. most people were going to be launching in 3/4 hours time. They can still do that.. right?

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

me loves downtimes :p

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

OK i was at work for some of it, but from what i have heard it started with a few players who were aided in #support, but then the issues started to grow worse and move into european countries, it was monitored for about 12 hrs and appeared to be getting worse not better, so the decision was made to stop the game .
If the pa team had waited, and the situation had gotten even worse, then this thread would have been calls for a stop and a roll back!
the pa team concidered the % of players that could possibly be affected if the trend continued and stopped the game, RIGHT DESCISION !

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

I can maybe try to understand why they stop ticks (not really, normal life also continues if you're sick, so why close the game if ~50 people can't access it...) but why do they have to close the game alltogether?

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Presumably because people will then have a harder time using the downtime to arrange defence or attacks. Which seems to be the logical thing to do, considering the fact that these 24 hours don't "exist" in-game.



WTF! WHAT IS THIS!! THE GAME IS DOWN!!! CRYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Any chance of putting some news on www.planetarion.com?

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

don't you mean Planetarjon?

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Was last round and i were one of those losing a buttload of CR because of it. Nothing happened then. :(
True, only nabbish idiots in there anyway :banana:

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

I Demand The Delay Of Final Tick 24 Hours

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

I agree. The round should stop after a given number of ticks, not on a set date.

Re: ZOMG Downtime!
 

Agree with the two girls above me.
