Well, if they do an update outside the usual period, there might be one or two techs who check that it’s done, right?

No. They’ve stated repeatedly that they don’t do nightshifts any more.

Oh thank the gods. I just installed a new modem, and this bug popped up in the mean time. So naturally I concluded it must be a problem on my end, and I’ve tried everything. If it’s just a server thing, that’s honestly a relief.

Yet I thought they were aiming to have more and more players ^^

Rest assured it’s not you. Looks to be region-wide.

To add more cheer to that good news, Blizz currently have over 100 staff working on the issue.

Automated deployment script and fingers crossed. Works every time 50% of the time. Why would you need someone awake to check?

Was suppose to be maintenance 3:00 - 4:00 CET, and now it is 5:00 CET and everything is still down

I was doing the Archive Assault delve, thankfully I did not use the ā€œloot orbā€ to get the elite.

Totally forgot that there was this friday morning maintenance.

I hoped to be able to do one or two more delves, before the 05CET reset.

And then go sleep.

Sister thread to this is in Game borked after maintenance

And I mean, it’s just common sense: having people employed to ensure the quality of the service seriously cuts into shareholder profits. How could you even entertain such a stupid idea? Look who got egg on their face now.

How long do they have to be late for us to be eligible for a free month lol?

Approximately one month late for us to be eligible for a free month. They stopped giving away free game time like 20 years ago.

I was there, 3,000 years ago when Mike Morhaime was President. Unplanned downtime always gave us free game time.

Did you just assume the gender of the cleaning personnel? In this day and age, unreal bro…
