  • Temporary maintenance. Not sure for how long or why. :/

  • servers are going down for server mainintniance between 9am-12 so it means the game will be off line

  • Ugh and I just got on with my brother. Hopefully things go as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

    Either way though Rare has my full support to do whatever it’s takes to make the game, servers, and whatever else better.

  • Having to fix issues that should have been fixed before the game was launched is quite common in the world of gaming these days, we have to like it or lump it.

  • It's for very good reason

  • They have landed it smack in the middle of prime playing time in Aus. (8pm to 11pm)
    On a weekday this is forgivable. the one planned for Saturday night, not so much!

    I understand they have to do it sometime, but regional schedules would be better, or at least something to look into moving forward

  • Servers down at prime time in Australia, thanks Rare.

  • And more on Saturday night at prime time in Australia, what a joke.

    we get the raw end on price AND maintenance. Those poms really are jealous of our beaches :(

    Like you said doing it on a Thursday ok we can get over it but than again three days later on a Saturday night, complete disregard for customers in Australia.

  • Ridiculous!!!! Just started playing and they shut down the servers. Good job Rare! Australia always gets screwed.

    You got the game first! 13 hours before UK! You've also had it almost a day longer than the Americans.

  • Finish my shift, come home for a game that I paid 77USD for....
    Nope. Servers are down during Australian prime time... -_-
    So you charge us more than American players, give us horrid servers and now take the game down during peak game times.

    Not very fair.

  • @tog-fuzznuts Leave Rare alone they are on smoko :)

  • The fact is : at any time of the day, it's prime time somewhere in the world.

    It’s either take it down for Australia and New Zealand at prime time, or the whole of Europe and some Americans. It was gonna be annoying for one region regardless. Just be happy you got it earlier.

  • @tog-fuzznuts How much did you pay? I dont think you were the raw end

  • @quadratfuss
    it means that the server is shutting down in 15 mins.

    Yeah but it's not our fault that our timezone is ahead of others, that's just the way the world works, but surely Rare could have changed these times up a bit.

  • Ok. Good to know!

  • @kangle4
    It's the first server reset.
    What's to say others wont be later for you guys as and when they move forward. It's 10:10am here in the UK as i write this, so folk who have taken a week off of work to play will miss a good couple of hours out of their day as well.

  • I think I'd rather bugs be sorted and enjoy myself more at 12. Hang in there, peeps!

  • @r0ck3tlaunch3r Well sure, except you played a whole day before us East Coast Americans got to play.... but yeah you always get the shaft huh....

  • Also... Rare is based where? Twycross, Leicestershire, UK.
    When else would you expect a team of devs to be working on a game except during UK working hours?
    You want them working in the middle of the evening/night to sort out issues and run server maintenance?

    What does that mean?

    As in most things in life my young friend, paying close attention to the wording of a statement usually brings rewards.

    Imagine you have a a nice little house in the country, surrounded by a lovely white picket fence. One day, you decide to open the gate and a horde of rats pile in and start destroying your plants. You try and fight them, killing them one by one, but as the gate is still open more of the pesky blighters come on in.
    Suddenly you have an idea. Close the gate. No more pesky blighters. With the gate closed you can rebuild your garden, making it a lot better, maybe adding a water feature, and definitely sticking in a lot of rat traps before reopening the gate a while later.
    The rats, seeing the improvedness of the garden, it's a real word, trust me, no need to look it up, come flooding back but this time you can control them a hell of a lot better.

    Ok?

  • It's funny that some developers (Rare included) are informing about these maintenance's only in Twitter? Do you believe that some people don't have Twitter account?!! :D (e.g. there are kids playing this game that won't even be able to have one) and one like me who aren't checking it constantly. I really consider them to include that information in game e.g. in screen when you log in. It's quite common practice nowadays :)

    Other things you can be doing whilst the server is down...

    1. Housework.
    2. Watch "Cops do the funniest things" on ITV2.
    3. Look out the window and remember that dreamy window cleaner you saw last week.
    4. There is no number 4.
    5. Organise you record collection in non alphabetical order.
    6. Have a spot of brunch.
    7. Popmaster!
