Hotfix today

[Zenitee]

Dear Funcom,

The hotfix today is a good move due to the high HP on the World boss.

However the timing and short announcment is really bad. At this time the major part of the European guilds have scheduled raids at this time (European primetime). It has been mentioned alot of times before to you but can you please notify the european playerbase earlier when these kind of patches come. I know that alot of players hurry home from work and other engagements etc to make these raids and raidleaders prepare for the raids and so on. I find this very disrespectful of you.

Regards

Z

The servers are back up.

I agree with Zenitee. The world boss works fine as it is/was. It just takes longer to get him down than usual. There is no real need for a hotfix. It's just to keep some players happy (probably mostly the players who are at res pad all wb-fight, but that's another discussion I guess), which is a good thing of course but there is no need to schedule this at European prime time and announce it only 30 minutes before. And before you say it: I do have a life, but it's just great to chop something down once or twice a week after a long day of work, so it's bad when servers go down at that time. It's not the first time there's a hotfix around 20:00 CET. If it's a necessary fix, it's no problem of course, but this one was really not needed.

Wow really?

They fix an issue that was completely broken only allowing 25 people to get into a single instance.

My friend took over an hour to get into a boss instance and kill it on a single toon. I have approximately 20 toons to get the quest completed on. I also work, and have a life believe it or not.

I'm not going to spend hours each day to complete a quest on just one or two toons.

Thank you Funcom for fixing it, ignore the baddies that are crying over a 30 min hotfix.

Obviously, we try our best to give as much advance notice as possible. In today's case, we gave as much notice as we could. Our fantastic team was also able to get this done rapidly, trying their best not to interrupt your gaming experience.

I am sorry for the momentary inconvenience.

Funcom got a hotfix in pretty fast, considering that Cirithgorgor just posted they were fixing it yesterday.

It could have been in US prime time but they had it ready now. Sorry for all the EU raids: if they had given a two hour notification would that have worked better vs a half hour?

Have you seen the guy talk before? I think he is sincere. Seems like a pretty nice dude to me.

I mean, this is Funcom we're talking about. They actually hotfixed something that was ruining our gaming experience and they hotfixed it in a day. That's... a phenomenal response time not seen since May-August 2008.
