They are taking the extra time to try and figure out more ways to nerf the scouts.

A larger variety of transport points per Snoop would make for a very interesting, but also more-risky-of-crashes feature to this game, hence another reason I'm glad I got a Free Memory Cleaner installed recently on my main machine.;)


I would think this would reduce the risk of crashes. Going from point A to point D, rather than going A-B-C-D, means less porting, less zones loaded in, less crashing.

BTW, this Spring Rain festival guide seems to be very thorough, although probably outdated. Each year RW adds a new event to old festivals, so some of it is going to be moot and some not covered. Still, a good guide.

Rewards also seem meh, except for ever popular Egg of Bad Intentions. Hope we get them this time, because I got plenty of bad intentions to satisfy. :p


The rewards listed are not very interesting to me, but what about the elements for the zodiac pets? Are any of those given for this festival, and if so what element? I need more fire elements to get my adult pet to legendary.

We're still working on it, currently we can't give an ETA when the servers will be back. The servers will stay offline for at least 12h.


Jesus, did a hamster melt onto the server?

Similar message on EU page.

EU was online for a short time, then came down. Whatever is going on, they run into the problem on EU side before US even came up. Once it is solved, I figure US and EU will both get the solution at same time.

Edit...

Was going to ask people to post stupid comments, but looks from the next several posts that people don't need prompting for that.

It takes a while to scrape the old one off.

Also 12 hours most likely means "we're stumped, let's try again tomorrow morning"

I had a weird feeling this would happen, seeing how old some of the server equipment actually may be. Well, there are other things we can do, either IRL or online, that can keep us occupied until the server hardware/software issue(s) have been resolved.

can they give druids an instant atk or reduce casting time to help druids dps a little we have no dps and get killed in sw by everyone also rock protection need fixing I still get 1shoted when rocked up


What.

Druids have MNW and SS, both of which are instant. If you're D/M, you've got two extra instants right there. Druids don't need more. Maybe buff the damage or add some (actually useful) wis modifiers to the existing skills (for both druids and priests), but druids really don't need new attack skills.

Know who does? Priests. They actually don't have any, aside from a set skill that does abysmal damage and a skill that uses a type of damage they don't have a mastery for.

Poor maintenance, planning and programming would be the likely culprits.

Not so much age. Mechanical failure is possible but unlikely to affect both sides of the Atlantic simultaneously (and to take 12+ hours to recover and still not have an eta would be laughable)

Yeah, that's a more likely scenario, not that I'm really all that surprised either way.

Hamster jokes are old, and actually quite wrong in this case.

The patch brought back the daily reset glitch that we had last year. Hence why EU was up, then brought back down. Servers are down so no one will take advantage of it like last year. 12 hours to fix seems appropriate, since they'll most likely have to create another patch to fix the problem.

So don't expect to be online today, unless they're really on top of things, their fix may take awhile.

Not really. Since this is obviously a programming issue, they're having to wait on Runewaker to find the problem, code a solution, and create a patch for it (could be server side OR client side). As they have no direct control over Runewaker, we're all at their mercy for a timeline.
