Server maintenance update

[Randomness]

Looked on the official forums, and theres an update from Clumsy a bit less than an hour ago, saying that they've begun verification of the changes to the XBox data, and plan to move on to the PC/PS2 after that. He also says theres no news of a rollback, so it seems they've found a fix and are now in the process of making sure is works.

Don't know how long it will be, but it seems they are making good progress.

[Syanaide]

Sweet, so they delete the items and I can keep my exp and bullet levels, maybe.

[Xefi]

good. I hope the problem is resolved soon. I want to play PSU now. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[KateLoire]

Randomness - You are a legend.

[Kion]

as for compensation... anyone hoping for anything?

[Mikura]

Nice. If they don't have to resort to a rollback, that'd be awesome. Can't wait to hear more.

[Gemel]

We compensate by keeping our items http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
Actually Im not so sure if that would be a good thing bleh.

[Kylie]

That's nice. Maybe we won't be waiting too much longer.

[KyEmo]

Great. I can keep my rarez http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Maybe..

ayfkm?! If they didn't rollback, that's all I need. How 'bout everyone else?

[Mikura]

I kinda doubt we'll get any kind of compensation...honestly, if they don't have to do the rollback, I don't think we deserve any. It's not like a few hours offline for one day is the end of the world.

lol

Yeah, ST should give us something like a special mission that spawns nothing but rare enemies.

[KateLoire]

I dont care if those people got their items or not, I just wanna play http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif. Means that theres gonna be beauuuutiful rappy dolls everywhere with all of those feathers http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

But I believe they'll probably wipe information that was gained in those rooms, such as items, exp, and leave it at that. Any transactions in shops will also prolly be refunded.

Just a guess.

I agree

[Niloklives]

I certainly don't think that those who rook advantage of a mistake like that should be rewarded for it while others who explored, hunted rappies or y'know...slept. get kicked in the shin by sega "we were giving out free money, none for you though" is what that becomes if the don't do SOMETHING. so no...they've got to be deleting/wiping/reseting something somewhere to balance things out. question is what.

[SJW89]

It better be done soon on Xbox 360, I have to go to an Advanced Theatre Showcase tonight, and I don't have time to wait around...

[JenJen902]

do you guys not understand? they need to do a rollback because before servers went down i saw 2 people trading giza-zashi for serafi board so the person who spammed the legit mission gets gaza-zashi and the other person loses everything? thats so not right!

That's their fault, not Sega's. People were stupid anyway for trading items that aren't supposed to be available at this time.

I'm sure they can trace the items, and undo trades. Otherwise everyone who was selling serafi stuff in their room made out like bandits, and the buyers lose. If they don't roll it back, they won't overlook that detail.

That's a stupid thing to say. Since all the monsters in the mission are available, all those items had the possibility of being legitimate. The buyer had no way of knowing.

I didn't play the debug mission so I can't say but I'm pretty certain the mission looked suspicious enough by the name of it and the spawns that people thought SOMETHING might have been wrong with it. Had the map and items been legitimate, I'm pretty sure they would have mentioned it on the official site. So I still say people were ignorant...or rather, naive, to be trading those boards.

That's a somewhat selfish outlook but I'll overlook it in light of the second part of the statement.

Not to entirely direct it at you but when was this the case? This is the second or third time I've read this now and... everything that dropped in that mission was and is readily available to those who seek it out afaik.

[easy]

update
saga have lost the Mice & Keyboard oh shit

[ZeroVer01]

Xbox 360 checks are complete and we are working towards opening the server very soon, approximately 10 minutes or so.

We will be applying a rollback on all server information for the morning, this will place your characters effectively at the 11pm last night when our maintenance began. Of course, we would much rather not perform a rollback, but given the circumstances we need to be sure all items are removed properly.

Thanks again for your patience, please stay tuned for more updates on PS2/PC.

Thanks!

clumsy confirmed the roll back, and that the ps2/pc version still has a while to go.

[Weeaboolits]

If I get to keep what I did today, then I'm happy, I don't want to have to go get it again, that'd be quite inconvenient.

Rollback confirmed? Dammit.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Serafi dagger boards only drop during Easter? I'll conceed the other drops are always available but not the daggers. Unless I'm horribly mistaken.

The Halp Serafi board dropped during the Easter event. The Dagger of Serafi board drops from high level Rappies during the Christmas event.

[Gemel]

The Halp Serafi dropped, the single dagger version, during Easter.

[Randomness]

Halp Serafi dropped during easter, not Daggers of Serafi, the twin version. Those had been speculated to be a drop from Rappy Noel, which was basically confirmed today.

You are, Halp Serafi dropped for Easter, Dagger of Serafi was always speculated for Christmas.

But please, don't worry about it, I'm not trying to call you out or anything just trying to figure out why it's apparently considered true by many. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Mikura]

Ah, so you're right. I get Halp mixed up with the twin daggers all the time. Regardless, I still say it was naive for people to be so hasty to trade/buy those boards.

It was called "Enemy Check" and.. well, while it looked very odd, the untrained eye wouldn't have realized what it was until after actually entering the mission. Once you're inside and keeling things though, you don't have much excuse to say you didn't know better, yea. =P

[Soulless]

360's go to hell! Your server is back on... *jealous*

First friday night Im not going out for a long time... and this happens (european time zone btw). PC/PS2 wont be back before I head to bed probably, damn them ;_;

[Mikura]

Goody, maybe that means we'll be up and running soon.

[Phoenix_Black]

I heard money was dropping like crazy from this mission... at like 15k a monster.... This hurts the economy... I just wush I could have seen he mission, but no, my buddy has to go and go afk right before they shut down the servers, when he's the leader... Pissed me off... I just wanted to see it!

oh of course people knew it was a faulty mission. And the people who tried to sell the stuff fast and hope sega just removed items rather than rollback were greedy and wrong.

Not the buyers fault. 98% of people will get a dagger of serafi board before I even see a rappy noel in a normal mission, so I wouldn't think twice if someone offered to trade me one.

Yeah, that's true. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to matter now with the roll back. Everyone should have their money back in case they got jipped out of it earlier.

lol bastardo!

I wish I had just one of my christmas trees though... well one for each of my chars... I had one room completely full of them, like a forest.

[DarkNoise]

Here's where I'm confused. looking at my stats I've been rolled back to Lv46, whereas I was Lv47 when the server shut down. So one would assume they've already rolled back... yet the latest update on the Main PSU site declares they'll be rolling back, in the morning, to just before the maintenance. Confused? I am!

[KyEmo]

We will be applying a rollback on all server information for the morning

The morning meaning the mornings data was rolled back.

[Randomness]

Lol, they mean they're rolling back to the beginning of the normal maintenance last night.

Would be pretty pointless to rollback to when they shut down the servers because of this, because that wouldn't even be rolling back the servers...

[Kylie]

*twiddles thumbs*

It seemed like it took them an hour to get 360 online, so I'm guessing we've (PC/PS) got twenty more minutes...

[Indica]

Main thing I'll be pissed off about this Rollback is my Kotoha-senba Armor. I took out a 38% White Armor this moring, I'll be FUCKING PISSED if it turned out to be 12% or some shit

It should still be the correct % and element http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well, I've heard success/failure is determined when you put it in, but it could always be seperate...

Yes, well no.

100%s do change I suppose

[KyEmo]

Meh, come to think of it, it is seperate.

Look at it this way, you will get your armor but you might not get a high %.

[Anduril]

Ok, the wording confused me a bit. So does it mean that they rolld back to right before the server went down, as in we don't get Rod buff, and Christmas lobby, or does it mean they rolled back to where they implemented the normal changes, but without the exploited mission and all charcter data from this morning? Sorry to ask, but I'm not near my XBox right now, so I can't check,

[Laranas]

You're just confused. Character data is getting rollback. Gameplay changes like the Rod Buff, Xmas Lobby, and everything else is going to stay.

[KyEmo]

Account data. As in, Items, Character levels, PA levels, Meseta, etc..

Thanks. It would have sucked if we had to wait another week to get the content again. Now I just have to get my shrine maiden outfits again, and some Christmas decos. I will get that Har / Quick again, I swear it!

[Laranas]

That's what I meant by Character data, but I guess account data is a much better term for it.

that sucks i lik that outfit and i got 2 lobby hopp again 2 jeeesss

[benover]

can u tell me when the servers when down cause i was at work ow and im in the uk ty

Does that include partnership cards too?? I made a friend before the servers went down and we exchanged partnership cards. I hope not because I really liked playing with him and it'll take me a long time to track him down.

cant you guys just go to the areas they were playing and give your cards again? cuz usually if im online and im grinding and I get kicked off I wouldnt go start a mission I would go back to what I was originally doing

Ya thats the thing, haha. I actually forgot his name and I logged off before they shut down the servers. So I wouldn't know where he went after I logged off.

Are you on the PC or PS2, if your on the PC versoin you can always just look at you log in your document files to figure the name out, the server may have rolled back but your log didnt.

I have the pc version I just did what you said to do. Thanks a lot I never knew what those files were for. I found out his name, his name is Panda. You saved me all the trouble of tracking him down.

This is downright infuriating to wait. I didn't take part in this mission and its almost 7 pm here. I wonder if it'll be too much to hope I'll be able to log in on the pc tonight? I don't know how it takes SegaTeam to fix their issues but it seems like an awfully long time to me....
