If this is happening on both servers, this seems planned to me.

I didn't see any "official" statement on the official website, either. And, there isn't any maintenace tonight. Also, along with this sudden loss of luck, has anyone noticed the server has been really buggy/laggy today? Like, it's been slower than usual accessing your PM/items/changing servers/etc. Anyone else notice that?

Well at least we still have the synth bonus. Now about the luck I don't mind not having it now if they give us that last week of 3* during the 10% grind bonus.

Yes, EXTREMELY slow. It would take me so long just to access my items.

So in 30 minutes.

To steal ceresa's explanation: we got the two weeks of 3* luck, one for PS2/PC and one for 360 ;o

So... first I had 3*... then all of a sudden I had 2*... thats weird.... THEN.... No * ..... wtf????

Maintenance begins now. 3* luck is blown WAAAAAAY out of proportion, I just hope they fix the friggin lag.

I just hope the quick downtime will help the lag issue a little, if at all. Luck is nice, but it would be nice if my game didn't freeze/lag like hell on a Time Attack run.

Micro
Aug 8, 2008, 03:36 AM
Yeah the lag was pretty annoying today, hopefully they do something about it. >.>

how long till they fix the luck will it normally take ...seeing how they just shut down the servers

Almeho
Aug 8, 2008, 03:41 AM
A buddy of mine think hell froze over since ST is doing something quickly about it (the luck) :lol:. I think they'll be rollin' if they can fix up the lag issues. 3* can come and go, but I wanna enjoy the game without lag more.

ya the lag sucks but its worst for me though cuz im rolling off the old school psu v1....still cant find anyone online who isnt askin for 50 bucks on a used ps2 game

I thought we were having 3* for 2 weeks (or was it 1 week)? Or did time go so fast? My luck went from 2* to 1* then to nothing.

Didn't read the whole thread did you? It was supposed to be 2 weeks which is why servers are down right now. They're having a "brief" maintenance to give everyone 3* for another week.

Indica

It seems they maybe fixing the lag issue because it does not take an hour to bring back 3*

Im really starting to question how Sega performs backups of the server data. Normally you cant backup a database while it is in use. So if Sega has to physically bring down the servers to activate 3* Luck then they have to physically bring the server offline to perform a backup.

That's pretty scary because if the database got corrupted and let's say no maintenance was done for 2 weeks, then that would mean a 2 week roll-back of the database.

Things seem a bit better now... maybe they were forced to restart the server.

Databases can run 24/7 and backups are normally done by taking saves of deltas (changes) or by full online backup with the changes during the backup also saved. It is good practice to stop the service if you wish to tidy up inverted lists and recover space so a weekly houskeeping is no bad thing.
All changes are logged so your data should be safe unless a true disaster (fire etc.) occurs when only the last point in time that was sent offsite would be available for recovery.

PROFIT !

Fixed. :grin:

And yeah, luck is overrated. 3* luck isn't really changing anything, to me. Well, I might have got a Paradi Cataract in The Dark God B and rappy spawns in three MAG runs in a row, but I still consider it as a mere coincidence.

Thanks for rubbing it in. :( LOL!!! Just jealous.

Would everyone be cool if ST would bring down the server every week even when there are no updates if they used the time to fix certain things in the game (like lag due to robot explosions)?

They'll never fix that.

LOL, I remember when people used to complain about having 3* luck. Now we want it all of the sudden?

By no means does that mean that Sega should get away with another failure...

Nevertheless, is the 3* luck gone for good? Or did it come back?

And if we get another rollback, I'm going to have break my foot off in Sega's ***. :mad:

I don't think so, I just checked and I have 3* luck with my four characters. (All of them with a different race / gender combo.)

We baw when there no luck.

well we baw because the luck doesn't increase the drop rate of rares just the chance for mobs to drop an item.

now we could look at it like this. a mob drops loot in a... hmmm well look at it this way. lets take the booma for example. it has 40 boxes, when its killed one box is opened and whatever is in that box is the item it drops. on 0 star luck it only has loot in 7 boxes, on 1 it has 14 on 2 it has 21 and on 3 it has 32 boxes that have an item inside and is not empty meaning no item.

the items in the box are based on a rare multiplier which is unknown but amplified during events (sometimes). every booma spawned into a mission has its items in its boxes set into it when it spawns. some may have half its boxes filled with monomates or booma claws, some may be full of nothing but meseta.

No... you guys got it wrong. People baww because it's useless (most of the time) without anything decent like the grinding boost, so now people are bawwwing because we get Grinding Boost without the 3* luck because then it actually would be useful. ;l
And I'm talking about the ones that are too lazy or too pessimistic about how it's hard to get 3* luck without a 3* luck period...
