5/19 Emergency Maintenance

[Evangelion X.XX]

Emergency Maintenance on 5/19 at 22:05 Japan time.

Reason: Serious Bugs.

[Horo The Wise Wolf]

I hate it when ants get into the server room...

[oratank]

so long yamato

[EvilMag]

did they fuck up and add something like modulator to the yamato drop tables?

[Aine]

A bug with grinding NT weapons, apparently. I haven't even touched the new system so I dunno how it works.

[otakun]

Can definitely see that being an emergency maint issue.

[SteveCZ]

Guys, the (bug) Darkers are COMING!!!

[NightlightPro]

fix the lag

[Shinmarizu]

Yeah, that's a bad.

Basically you stuff weapons into other weapons to increase grind levels. The bug is allowing weapons to go from 0 to 30 without stopping at 10 or 20 first (on a single input!) - but it seems that the system won't allow it to work.

edit: They're not going to fix the lag. They're going to fix the systems that force you to work harder, not make things easier for you.

[vbetts]

Ah, I've been too busy playing Doom. Tried to log on to take a break and there's maintenance.

Good job Sega, good to know you care about fixing errors(oh the sarcasm)!

I..just..how the FUCK DID THAT GET PASS QA? Did this bug become a thing after the maintenance this week?

[vbetts]

Holy ball sack.

A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE DOOM CAME OUT IS YAMATO EVEN RELEVANT ANYMORE?!!!!!!!

[Sirius-91]

fix the lag

You mean the lag that only affects us foreigners?

[dr apocalipsis]

So no word on fixing the server timeouts.

Nice.

[otakun]

I..just..how the FUCK DID THAT GET PASS QA? Did this bug become a thing after the maintenance this week?

I've maxed out 2 13* NT weapons and boosted other 13*s never run into this issue. That probably why it wasn't noticed. It's not effecting everyone.

[IronKrone]

I heard that you have to use macro for it or something, which is probably why most people weren't aware of it.

Seems like Voila make it's way to PSO2 dev office room or something.

[vbetts]

ya thet 1

[Achelousaurus]

Lol
But if you don't stop at 10/20, do you even get a potential? Or do you end up with a weapon that has no potential and can never get one?

[Aine]

According to the guy who spread it on twitter, you get a 630 but when you log in again the weapon is fully upgraded at +35 with element 60.

[ShinMegamiSensei]

Yes the bug that only affects foreigners that Japanese players also complain about experiencing, on twitter. :roll:

[cheapgunner]

Was ready to do another round of Yamato but eh, I can play something else in the meantime. Also just realized last run that a 100% triboost is in effect for 30 min after the EQ is over. A nice gift to go and kill lv 71+ Zeshys and get my 4th tagamikouga knuckles.

[Vatallus]

I have also been told you needed a macro to achieve this. What I don't get is if what Aine says is true and it comes out at +35... why does the game forget the rules for grinding past +30 but only in this instance? Or are you somehow feeding the weapon itself? That screenshot kinda confuses me. It looks like you are feeding the rifle itself multiple times?

[arokidaaron]

You are feeding the weapon itself multiple times. Which made it possible to get it to +35 with 60 element, basing from the video and the image.

[Dia79]

i wonder how much time this will take

[blanc1990]

i wonder how much time this will take

same. and hoping lag will be removed too!

[Yden]

same. and hoping lag will be removed too!

The issue about the lag is that it's not a universal thing. I'm sure Sega knows about it but since it doesn't affect everyone there's not much they can do about it since it may not even be an issue on their end.

its a well reported issue from jp side too ..but you are right about it they probably can't do anything about the issue itself cuz it could be related to their servers overload ...unless they upgrade their servers but i guess they did that already during the fukushima disaster period ...:roll::-?:-?:-(

[Alenoir]

And it probably have nothing to do with server overload because ship 2 is never full to begin with.

If it was well reported, I've not heard much noises about it unless I specifically go search for the keywords on twitter.

[SteveCZ]

Still got no lag at all until this maintenance. In other hand, hopefully this maintenance addresses your issue of lagging and dcs, even though it's just about the bug. :(

[Dia79]

doesnt matter if ship 2 is never full ...like ship10 is never full and ship4 is kinda always full the congestion itself is not related to a single ship ^^;
For like 2 times on the past pso2es ranked events we had the eq cancelled on the very last day ...sega had to suspend the ranked event for a while but i didnt notice huge complaints about it at least from jp side even if you consider that to rank properly some guy need to waste tons of ac ...and im not talking about first 100th positions but 1-10th...positions ....
Complaints or not that doesnt mean the issue isnt on or that is not striking a very large side of users :-o

[Polymer]

its a well reported issue from jp side too
except it is not... and honestly,how do you know theyre reporting the same lag that you guys are experiencing? for all we know, they might be complaining about the common lag that one experiences during an EQ.

and not once have I heard of japanese players complaining about getting 630s all day long...

[Dia79]

because i have jp friends lol? and they do get the same errors ?:-D

So... basically nothing to actually back up the claim about well reported lag from the Japanese side, OK.

Anyways maint scheduled to end at 8AM JST/7PM EDT/4PM PDT (http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=8924).

The 7AM JST/6PM EDT/3PM PDT Yamato will be rescheduled to a later date.

Well, this would happen on my one day off when I can somewhat easily get both Prestiges.

Typical.

[aiMute]

There were less lags and 630chan visits when all the servers were full/congested, now it's congested/normal and constant 630chans and lags, also it's mostly during EQs but not only during them and not only during kancolle EQ, so it's unrelated to ps4 and kancolle (unless memory leak).

[Achelousaurus]

lol
Nice bug.

Speaking of grinding bugs, occasionally when grinding an old weapon I press the button once and grind 3+ times.
Without the menu changing.
If it was lag I'd be hanging in the menu with a loading icon. Somehow the game uses a single button input for 5 menus and does not even display them so I jump from +3 to +8 or something.
Occasionally I also hear both success and failure sounds.
I assume the game grinds normally several times but I have not checked if it truly uses the entire amount of meseta or only meseta for a single grind.

[yukiyuki]

Get a day off to finally be able to have some time for myself to play PSO2, and this happens :(... Time to find something to do for the next 5 hours lulz..

[Achelousaurus]

Remember, Sega is the company that made fireballs freeze your pc.
At least I heard in PSU one new enemy would spam fireballs and after a couple of minutes the memory leak was so bad that your entire PC would freeze up inevitably.

It's got one battleship in the EQ which was modeled off the real ship it was named after and it's being refereed to as Kancolle ... why? We aren't fighting little girls with mounted cannons on them.

[SasoriHanamura]

So I'm no good with math or time zones but that means (In EST anyway) it should be back up for us at around...7 PM?

Estimated for 7PM EDT yes, so approximately 5 more hours :(

Probably because you can get 99% of the parts to cosplay Yamato (KanColle) in PSO2. >.>

Psst, we're currently in daylight saving time, so it's EDT, not EST. I should have the EDT and PDT time in my post.

[[Ayumi]]

What is a "KanColle" exactly?

[Anduril]

;3356584']What is a "KanColle" exactly?
It's a f2p browser game about anthropomorphized battleships.

The limit I thought moeifying of japan would go but then they made Uma Musume (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1cafL0l-Mo). Now I just donno anymore.

Quick search... so... are they like prostitutes in the game? Some of them are wearing authentic prostitute outfits you usually see out in the street... and you say they're supposed to be based on battleships?
Okay.

This doesn't surprise me or phase me at all. People that continue this kind of crap in Japan caused that... whatever that is supposed to be to happen, lol.

I remember that deleting thing. I got hit by it and lost some raw video footage that I had already edited. On the bright side it wasn't this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurren_Lagann#Video_games).

[TaigaUC]

I don't recall any Kancolle characters dressed like prostitutes.
But then I don't play Kancolle or interact with prostitutes.
I've seen enough of Kancolle though. It's been everywhere for years.

Why didn't they fix the bugs last week or during maintenance?

Edit: I read their announcement. Now I see why it's emergency maintenance.
A weapon was getting more EXP than it should. Yes, that's very MUST FIX IMMEDIATELY TOP PRIORITY for SEGA.
GOTTA PROTECT THAT DRIPFEED! I mean, "GAME BALANCE"!

Never mind the impassable walls and non-spawning AIS in Yamato. That's real balanced, right there.
Although I dunno if they fixed those already. Some JP friends GJ'd me a few days ago complaining about how terrible the Yamato bugs are.

[wefwq]

Are you guys in the middle of the quest to lock this thread?

[Xaeris]

They did the Yamato bug fixes already: http://pso2.jp/players/support/measures/?id=8887

And yes, this actually is a pretty high priority fix that warrants emergency maintenance. NT grinding has created a new economy that I have no desire to elaborate on, and this bug would be straight up poison to it if allowed to disseminate and continue for any length of time. And unlike the Returner exploit, I doubt they have any means to track +35 weapons that were created through this method to mark them for deletion.

Yeah, they are a half a day ahead of us. So it can seem like a whole day but just time zones.

Account for the time zone difference. As of now, the maintenance is scheduled to end in a little over an hour.

Nope.

Oh, I see. People were using it to make 13 star upgrade fodder.
I imagined it was only slightly faster grinding.

Feels like the game has been getting sillier bugs lately.

[pkemr4]

theres might be another bug

lol you got to be kidding me... What kind now?
