All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Jun. 1)

[Thorny]

How sure are you on the 30 second interval?

I'll have to watch for this and test this but it's certainly insightful if accurate and never been pointed out to me or mentioned by anyone I've come across.

I think I've seen server lag delay these more than normal, though, but I'd have to start logging pops/deaths/repops to be positive.

I'm positive. It also accounts for kings windows being ~30 sec instead of instant, that's not just a clock syncing thing. It's not really common knowledge though, I figured it out on my own.

Tia closes in 4 hrs...

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Glad I didn't stay up all night then. >< And wtf with two extremely late Tiamats in a row.

And seriously, SE get rid of the Kupopowers messages completely, I DON'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT EVERY TIME I ZONE! Show it to me once when I log in, I promise I won't forget.

[Thorshammer]

I hope they do the thing where Uryuu gets banned.

qft ^^

Although I don't mind giving them some time to work out the kinks, I think that is a good suggestion. The problem would be when you log into a non-Conquest area, you would be getting a message for Conquest and it kind of hurts the internal consistency of those zones.

The spamming really doesn't bug me at all, but it does bug my easily bugged friend, but then again, they complain about everything and I would hate to play a game that she designed. LOL

Or even better something like a /kupopower and it will tell you like /servmes does

My problem is, long server messages cause me to freeze while they load. Ballista messages have done the same for me for as long as they've existed. My character will load and I'll try to move, but I can't until the Ballista messages pops up. It freezes me to a lesser extent with the powers messages, but it's still annoying enough to be noticed.

Are you using an older version of Windower? They used to crash older clients since they didn't support the long system "messages" and such to my knowledge.

[Zilla]

Nothing like getting Server message followed by ballista message then Kupo Power message when you log on.

[Forewarned]

well, our tiamat popped... 1:02:53pm... 8 windows from end <3 SE

[Sta]

Some LS was in the middle of fighting Faf while the server was fucking up, saw like 80 people red-dotting, vent was like "oh shi- free Faf"

Is my memory faulty, or do NMs whose windows will be interrupted by maintenance always spawn before the servers go down? I know it's happened at least the last few times I was out camping in such a situation, at any rate.

[Daiiawn]

nah ive had kb pops where maint is due around 5th window, 5th window comes and goes, 15m later by the time servers are finally shut down, still nothing.

[Deimos]

...seriously. / has been common for years now.

Edit: It's also widely used by JP players too, so it's not just NA's.

One thing I find funny in relation to this is that Japanese players generally do the "raise your hand" thing using the katakana character for "no" (the syllable/sound, not the opposite of yes), which goes the same direction as a / character, but is curved:

I just find it amusing that often someone will ask if everyone is ready, and Japanese people respond "yes" by literally typing "no".

[spooky]

I'm pretty certain it's not our individual connections.

This was from the other day.

And of course people don't live in different parts of the world do they.

They are removing revitalizer from Beseiged due to JP/AV exploit.

I have the newest version. And the Ballista messages have been doing that to me longer than I've used Windower, and on both computers. I figured it was pretty much standard to be frozen in place after warping when a Ballista message comes up.

Is that actually confirmed or are you just making shit up?

Besieged/Revit popping has been around for a while.

[drwaffles]

Seems like the mass d/c shit hasn't been fixed, in Whitegate at least.
