They will most likely add several more hours to the DT. Or worse yet, do what they did before, an just call it quits for the day, an go home without bringing the server back up.

If it takes 7 hours for a small update, then im hopeful that Incursion should be up by Easter.

the critical issue is probably the fact that it now only works on a Mac.

Originally by: Cifese CCP doesn't run daily downtime with the night shift because if there is an issue they have to call in the cavalry - which is their dayshift employees. (please avoid snide comments about the cavalry - unless of course you work on one of the largest server clusters in the world). The suggestion to rotate downtime is basically the suggestion to tell the day shift that they are now a rotating shift, every three months or so, to a new schedule. I'm saying from experience (of drastic schedule changes for folks who lived an 8-5 job) that that would cause a lot of turnover.
no snide comments about the cavalry incoming...i appreciate the code monkey's work, because it means i don't have to do it...(and yes i have worked in a fairly large server cluster environment...i spent 2 years being the hardware monkey for the MS Hotmail & Live Search clusters...not fun :( )...
it's not a suggestion to tell day shift "congrats your life is now ours"...it's a suggestion to say that the maintenance *could* be rotated on a weekly/monthly/whatever schedule, with enough notice...jumping out next week and saying "oh btw!" probably(definitely) wouldn't fly...but throw enough notice in there, and you'd probably be surprised at the response...particularly if it wasn't the entire staff that was necessary, and only a skeleton crew...
plenty of companies have on-call employees to assist on 24/7 support, what's to stop a gaming company that does weekly updates on software from doing the same thing?...
plenty of other MMOs(i'm not stating WoW, because I would imagine their cluster environment warrants a full-time night staff maintenance crew, and not the setup that most MMOs support) run patches during "business closed" hours...why does CCP have to be any different?...
of course, with that being said, i personally don't care about the downtime, and i grasp that it's a necessary evil for persistent world games....i'm not one of the crying minority that thinks it's such a huge problem....
Originally by: Cifese bah. i've been trolled into writing too much...
and no, it wasn't a troll...it was my own perspective and experiences, and also the viewpoint of someone with a little more rational opinions than the "WHAR'S MAH ESSPEES?!?!?" screaming :)
oh, and fyi, for the people claiming that all of these tons of people are complaining...
how many people are happy with the way the system works, and don't care about the downtime, that *DON'T* post on the forums?...
the silent populace is always greater than the vocal minority...

Originally by: AshrouD Perhaps a substantive update should always be a 24hour shutdown everybody inconvenienced the same.
And plenty of warning all over the login screens I see adverts for eon but only noticed the extended downtime by chance.
it is after all the uncertainty and change that cause the tears
(mini rant .. I had the afternoon off and nothing better to do than play and now I have lost the 50million I could have earned till now booo hooo)
Ok I feel better now ... Actually I love coming to see the rant thread EVERY time there is an update
Actually would be nice if they used that space for a patch update no one could miss.

A quick question:
I'm new to EVE, this is the first patch I experience. The login screen says "incompatible version" - do I have to patch manually or does it work automatically when the server goes back online?

Automatically, but the server isn't up yet so be patient. |

It will update automatically when you start the client once they work through whatever critical issues they are having; the server does not need to be online for the client to start patching.

So hang on. CCP's been telling everyone about this major patch deployment for weeks, you're too oblivious to catch on, and you want them to refund the loss of your POS?
They should charge you an additional 2 PLEX on top of everything as a stupidity tax.

yes, the new version will auto-download, when the server is finally up. you going to have to get used to this. whatever their estimate for a new version roll out you need to at least triple it

Unless i'm wrong with UTC (again) it's late, but odd that CCP hasn't updated the time again. They really really should code UTC time into the client. Really.
Oh well... T2 sentries...21d left. I think i'm sorted
