Bungie... Notify players before maintenance "Poll"
[u]Entire post has been RE-edited because there "is" a Notice players [b]are[/b] [i]given[/i] prior to servers coming down for maintenance as per the discussion with Yoshida (for which the clarification AND validation of them taking place I am greatful). [/u]
As per community feedback it has been confirmed that Bungie [u][i]does[/i][/u] in fact send out [u]Notifications[/u] of the servers coming down for maintenance. After talking with Yoshida, the notice occurs [i]when[/i] you are "off planet" in what we can refer to as the "Orbit Menu". So there is no notice [i]in-game[/i].
So, I'm greatful for Bungies effort for those notifications.
However, you'll at this point realize that if you are [i]"Not"[/i] in orbit at any point when these notifications are taking place, you are unaware that you will be disconnected during Raids, during Bounties, during any gameplay.
EVEN IF the system to notify players of incoming maintenance was say "an icon in red" in a corner of the screen [u]during gameplay[/u] that was present on your screen in a corner or even below your radar, say.... the Bungie symbol with a circle around it, nobody would be unaware of the fact the system is going to be shut down for maintenance.
This discussion is about a warning system in place for the playing community so progress is neither lost nor wasted due to "scheduled maintenance".
Thank you.
Please continue to discuss the issue. ;o)

2 RepliesTo be fair, they didn't say SCHEDULED maintenance. Might have been something went wrong and they had to fix it.
-
3 RepliesI actually did get an in-game warning that it is going to happen (no timeline given tho), apparently it was because they needed to roll in an update.

1 ReplyThey need to notify us that their game is shit prior to selling it.

1 ReplyIf they needed to rush the servers down they need to make it news ASAP. Otherwise a day notice would be nice before I hop onto my toon. THAT would be helpful.

5 RepliesIf the servers need to come down in a hurry, they need to come down. I'd rather skip an announcement and lose a half hour's work, than endure a full rollback in the case of database corruption. Server crashes/downs are part of MMO life all the way back to early MUDS. Only a big deal if you let it be.

I received one today. I have to give them credit, they are working to make things better, they're just in the position of not only letting a large chunk of their fans down but also not delivering on the game they showcased at the last E3's.

[quote]Bungie, Games great. Sure every game post launch needs some tweeks. And there's no rage in this post, I've been gaming a long time. Long enough though that I'm seeing "something" that [i]you[/i] aren't doing that [i]other developers[/i] do for their community. And by the way, those developers overall in my opinion are lousy. [b]But[/b] at least they do this..... Dice: Posts on their forums 2 days, 3 days, and sometimes a whole week in advance that SERVERS will be [i]undergoing maintenance[/i]. Despite how bad BF4 is, despite how bad the 10 updates a second are, despite how you lose what you earn because the game messes up your save data so you can literally BUY your progress back... DICE TELLS PLAYERS OF INCOMING DOWNTIME. Trion Worlds: Defiance is by every definition.. A garbage game dysfunctional beyond an infinite scale of measurement. [b]But[/b] [i]in the game while you are playing[/i] every player receives a notification on their screen that states very VERY [u]CLEARLY[/u]..... "[b]Servers will be going down for maintenance in 30 minutes[/b]". Then they'll do the notification [i]in the game[/i] again at 15 minutes. And that game btw has had well over 80 updates since launch, and I'm talking about "maintenance". So this is a courtesy extended to their community also. The point is simple. If your "Concurrency Center" got shut down while you're working in it and you are in there working on achieving something, how would you like it if randomly it was getting turned off while you're trying to do anything and got a message on all it's monitors from community saying "Pardon us, but we decided without notifying you we needed to do something, so here's your notice of our maintenance AFTER we shut you off". O_O Again... I ain't raging in the least. Point is simple. Those lesser developers at least give their community warnings. You... You're just kicking people. Not much else explanation is necessary really. Have a good day, I'm enjoying the game, and thank you for your hard work.[/quote] Lel, I was doing an event. And boom, fu** u steezy. Hey at least we all did not disconnect due to a zoo animal named error code. Oh wait...

1 ReplyThat would be a big help. FF14 gives us notice when maintenance is approaching.

4 RepliesIt's just a matter of giving players some means of being informed, yes. I would appreciate that. :) That way players don't start forming up for a Raid and get dumped midway through the final battle or something at random.
