Hello everyone,
Apologies for the delay in bringing up the server to the players following the deployment of Empyrean Age 1.1
The QA team are investigating some aspects of the code involving the voting system that need to be investigated before opening up Tranquility for all players.
We will keep you updated when we know more.
In the meantime all other threads on this issue will be locked in order to prevent mass spam on General Discussion.

CCP would not have released the patch if they didn't think it was going to work, so the patch is probably safe. _

Sry but it is.... ccp is incapable of doing anything right when it comes to patching and/or customer service... wow sucks but at least blizzard can get their patches to HUNDREDs of severs and MILLIONS of customers on time with minimal fuss (only usual fuss is lag created by subtle algorythm changes....
ccp you need to hire better devs and more efficient schema for the introduction of patches.

First 17:00, then 19:00, and well lets see 20:00...nope FAIL, now 21:00. Seriously in the future do alter the patch time between US and EU timezone, not funny at all losing a whole day of playing because your from Europe.
If someone promise you a job will take 6 hours, but after 6 hours he comes to you saying sorry dude I need 2 more hours. After 2 hours you come back and he again says, damn dude sorry 1 more hour...yet again after 1 hour you get the same message an hour previous. What would your reaction be?
The answer, next time you need that job done you won't hire that guy, I hope CCP does the same. If someone failes once it's ok, fail 3 times in a short time period = looking for a new job the next day!!!

One thing I wont criticize CCP for is overrunning on patchs a little.
Sometimes they are early, sometimes they are late , sometimes they delete your operating system.
Go have a hand shandy, or watch a movie (or both at the same time)

stupid question maybe...
but shouldnt the testserver also be used to acctualy TEST stuff like this before it delays the mainserver hours and hours like this or is it just titanplayground for devs?
i mean seriously. you were all this time working on speed thing here and there and suddenly you come up with this without any major long testing which is wrong in my eyes.
if it runs on the testserver transfer it. if not fix it there first. you mirror the testserver anyway all xx days so i doubt anyone there would be serious hurt by such a test.

Lol, you don't actually think the "test" servers are for "testing" do you? If they were, then this "issue" with the voting system would have been found, fixed and re-tested.
Bets are on now ppl, is this the hour that CCP finish the patch? |

my 2 cents
There is a "little" difference in server architecture, size, items spawned and probably some hundred other things we don't see while playing.
So thest server is there to test, but the actual server is "the" item and patch deplyement in it could reveal some problem not seen with the test server alone. |

Those who are not born yesterday knew the posse comes out from the horse
Seriously. Clever people put a long skill on training and expected this, in sovjet russia the skill put you on training and the Chinese have their own server that still runs beta and needs no patches or have no fingers left to play anyway
Now back to RL life skillbook studying

To all the whiners, moaners, griefers and those that insist on speaking in txt - go play another game. CCP give plenty of warning to people to set a long skill training - long does not mean one that runs out at 17:01PM on a patch day!!!
At least they'll know for next time. Till the next batch of fools repeats the same messages over again.
Anyway, enough throwing random insults that are bound to earn me a wardec or seven, looking forward to the new update... Now wheres that SupCom disc gone too... |

Edited by: Darkside Follower on 02/09/2008 20:33:36 Facts:
In the five years i have been playing the patching process has not shown any real improvement. The patches are constantly delayed and usually deliver issues which need follow up fixes.
In the five years playing the server performance has declined in proportion to the volume of players playing - as expected. However while the content of the game improves the work and actual noticeable work on the server never seems to happen. People post every day talking of 20min module lag when fleet fighting.
CCP take the cash from the playerbase, when are we going to hear when our money is going to deliver the server and performance this game demands.
I wish one day CCP would just state we wont deliver content for 1 year, instead we will deliver the game in a playable format which we have been tweaking for 5 years. Please CCP deliver the server and not the textures! |

Quick update.
Tranquility has gone down to allow for a hotfix to be deployed.
It is estimated that once the server comes back up, in test mode, that 20-30 minutes of testing will be required to verify the hotfix is doing its job.
Apologies again for the delay and we hope to have you playing asap. |

No offend, Eve Team works great and it is a good game :)
Just stating that the first negative point which i have is this dt-delay-delay-delay. As my experience shows of several other games, customer satisfaction is depending on being told the truth to plan a day accordingly very tightly. I hope this situation is just an exception from the default and not the default.
Keep up the good work.

CCP has to be the worst company of all in terms of patch deployment, they simply dont have a clue in terms of QA and deadlines, to put it bluntly.
Its always like this because the player base have come to accept it, but it doesnt mean we dont have a right to complain about it.
Even so I am sure they are doing their best .... |

after every patch balls up we go through we never seem to hear and single thing out of CCP on how they are going to ensure these issues don't arise again.
If i did this to my working clients in my business i would lose a hell of a lot of business, and if it did occur i would damn ensure i apologised and documented what as a service provider i was going to do next time.

nobody is ignoring the fact that CCP has a great product, but there technical deployment and ability to listen to their customer base has always been absolutely horrible, in 5 years it has never improved. CCP could get more new customers through word of mouth from 30k happy players than any new content can give them.

Edited by: mindwhip on 02/09/2008 20:53:42 Quit whining about CCP's patch process.
There is no point comparing Eve to other MMOS as it is a totally different beast. All other MMOs have multiple copies of relatively small worlds making it easy (and inexpensive) for them to test on an exact copy of a standard build server. Eve is rather different as it is one large cluster, and while the test servers run the game, they are undoubtedly much smaller than TQ, both in performance and complexity, making any patch a 'best guess' effort.
I'm actually impressed that they manage to make any changes to the game without weeks of downtime for testing. Any time a large company makes significant changes to their computer environment they normally do it starting at close of business on a Friday and plan on having all testing done before people turn up for work on the Monday morning.

Lol I find it to be so amazing that some of you will actually quit because of some down time, you act like this happens every week.
Yeah, how dare CCP not know exactly whats going to happen at what time, games arent hard to code, all you do is click a button to find the problem.
Oh well, less ******s to clog up systems.

yeah, during this downtime, I have tried several theories as to how to actually really gestate a voidhawk. And it is like this.
get a really large tree seed, and put it in a mould. the tree will follow this mould. now get several moulds and make the trees very large (Yes, I am on the nonsnese btw) After several thousand moulds of trees are made, you can then get in the tree ship and it will be alive and be ready for space. Leaves would act as very small ion drives using anti-photosynthesis (lol?)

...and here we go again, 30min delay on the delayed delayed delayed delay, at this rate it should take them atleast 3-4 more 30min delays untill they will have it fixed.
Can someone please fire the guy who obviously can't handle his job, plz!!!
It's not the fact of a small delay, it's the fact of multiple failed "promises". Either you do it proper and write that 11-22gmt the patch will be deployed, then everyone will be happy if it's up by 17 and praise CCP for a job well done. As it is now it's a FAIL, yet again.

Woah dude, had a bit too much coffee today? This isn't just a wee patch here. It's an extensive looking beastie...I could list dozens of games and operating systems that beta their patches extensively, release them, and have no end to troubles. How many windows reinstalls have been required as a result of installing service packs alone?!!
Being only a 4 day member, I am anxious as well...It'll come. Next patch, I load a grand daddy skill to learn though...only selected one with an extra 90 minutes grace - oops!

Hehe, i give up to play tonight. It is the same what all those companies do wrong: save the money as good as they can on the programemrs and network specialists and have a messys support and patch policy. But thanks for the answer to my post for if this is exception or standard.
And no, Everquest is by far not the worst in patching. Absolutely unbeatable world record holder is FunCom and their AoC. Each patch the game gets worse and each day they loose players on lousy service and bad promises in which only the fanboys - still, well some havent been born to understand or learn :)
Yeah, am a bit angry, that CCP is obviously also not as worthy as some have told, but anyway the last game which gives a bit of a thrill, still.
My official vote for this service: 1 out of 10

I don't know about every other MMO out there, but Sony & Vivendi know how to deploy a patch pretty good by comparison.
Kinks are understandable, but haven't they been in the biz for quite awhile? Surely someone in-house has stopped to analyze and streamline their patch deployment processes.

Not moaning about the extended downtime but as other posters have pointed out it would be better next time to say the downtime will begin at 00:01 on the chosen date and finish at 23:59. Then get kudos for patching 5 hours early rather than these usual posts about omfg the patch is late give me isk/sp/refund/whatever.
From a software testing background, regardless of how detailed your testing is you can never ever test every single path through the code nor every possible combination of variables - testing will only ever reveal so much and give a confidence level in code (I'm not talking about safety critical systems and formal specification languages here, but your day to day bog standard code, be it apache, word, windows, eve, wow) - and due to some git called Murphy you can bet what ever you tested prior to 'go live' some bugger will manage to find the one path you didn't fully cover ;) |
