E-Maint is happening now (is now over)

[ArcaneTechs]

why?

Sega dun goofed and gave the 50 clear quest title to everyone for the new raid when no ones gotten a chance to run it so people had the new stone early. CLASSIC SEGA

I didn't get it so this is bullshit >:V

[Dugs]

They did it again...

it wouldnt matter if you grabbed it or not, they would just revert back to the saves they had prior to maint finishing and fixing w/e they messed up on beforehand. i didnt even get to check if i got it or not

Oh I know, I was just being dumb. Someone in my team got one and then Sega made a post saying it was a bug before they announced the maintenance.

[ZerotakerZX]

There goes our first raid run

[NightlightPro]

wat the stone was for

[Suirano]

They cancelled the second one too. So the earliest one is gonna be 9 AM EDT if even that. GG Sega

[ZerotakerZX]

wat the stone was for

for 15*

Sigh, had gotten an Atra Ex already, but I guess the easiest way to fix this is a rollback.

[AlphaBlob]

We fucked up, 100% triboost compensation.

[mother clusterfck]

Don't forget the salon pass!

[Masu]

F*uck tri boost and salon pass (we are showered with both anyway). 1 million xp tickets please =_= b


if they ever do a rollback, what about the ppl who charged AC before EM

rip AC/ money?

Good question as I made 20m+ already selling goldmat surplus. Bought some stuff too... :/

[NightlightPro]

if they ever do a rollback, what about the ppl who charged AC before EM

rip AC/ money? (unless it will still be saved)

[XrosBlader821]

I think the only thing they're reverting is the stone...

[milranduil]

they haven't done a rollback in like years, they will just fix the bugs and delete the stone from inventory/titles

[Meteor Weapon]

I was kinda expecting stupid things like this to happen. Should've had patched it last week to avoid bugs like this lol

[Suirano]

So Sega just tweeted this.

https://twitter.com/sega_pso2/status/1075345755060166658

Seems its not ending until 3:00 JST.

[Masu]

Maintenance end at 3 am JST...mmmk ._.

[Suirano]

Also seems the damage values of 15*s were ridiculously high. People were doing insane damage with these weapons and they weren't supposed to. I even noticed my Atra EX JBs were doing 2x the damage compared to the normal Atra.

[LancerFate]

Well yes that's suck but whatever, at least they fixin things.

[ArcaneTechs]

welp sega done goofed real fast and maintenance is going to be on for like 6hrs or something. get some sleep guys, the first 3 raids are cancelled lol

9pm EST here i come

[TakemiShinnosuke]

ZZZZZZZ

GOTO SLEEP EVERYONE.. CAUSE MAINT ENDS ON 3.00 JST 20-DEC-2018 ( THURSDAY 3am JST )

[Suirano]

Regarding the high 15* damage value, it was solely on Omega Masquerade. You were able to do 2x the damage to him getting ridiculously low clear times. So yeah, that is another thing they are fixing. There was also a bug of players getting messages of Polytanland being active along with other LQs that aren't around right now.

Seems a lot of bugs happened with this update along with that 15* stone issue.

[Masu]

Yamato launch episode2. Nostalgia nostalgia :D

[TakemiShinnosuke]

anyone see my post above zzzzzz

lol next day game

Does Sega not bug test their Updates? This sounds like a private server being ran by amateurs.

Test is useless when you have millions beta tester :-P

[Dark Mits]

One of the following possibilities:
1) They don't playtest their builds (unlikely)
2) They have spaghetti code, the problems of which arise on their live servers and not their closed beta ones (likely)
3) They work on multiple builds at the same time, and they don't keep track on what changes and flags are applied on each one seperately (likely)

As for the long downtime for something so "simple", I can only thing that they entirely recompile their code or something. I mean, in other games like WoW, they wouldn't even need an emergency maintenance for something like this; they'd make the change entirely live. At worst they'd require a player to just relog.

[Mattykins]

You'd think they would've learned after that time they deleted peoples' hard drives :V

[TakemiShinnosuke]

they did when ??

[Meteor Weapon]

Around EP2 i think, or was it EP3? it even deleted FFXIV from there HDD lol

I think spaghetti code is the most likely answer. It would just be in-character for how Sega deals with issues in this game.

[Saffran]

Whatever they did, the file ownerships and reading rights are all messed up again and I can't seem to fix them.
Let's just hope it will settle down with the final version of the launcher.

[Golgotha]

Maybe it actually checked some previous achievement different from a new one.
Looks like it was not handed to absolutely everyone, some people didn't get it.

[Asellus]

You guys are funny to me, how did ANYONE NOT expect emergency maintenance? THIS is what pso2 is known for after EVERY major update. I thought for sure it would have been because of the new pvp line-up.

Well it's a 2012 game with 6 years of update, i guess it's normal if you don't have the best clean code ever :-D

[Anon_Fire]

I was just about to login to get my daily reward, but then I come across maintenance.

[BloodPuddles]

Lol I didn't know this was a reference. I got told it when I messed up Trinning for a tridolon, I thought he was just being a huge douche about it, Trin has 3 jobs.

[Saffran]

I don't know if the maintenance is over but after doing yet again exactly the same things I've been doing all day and failing, this time the outcome was different.

Edit: I spoke too early, now the launcher crashes when it reaches 0/65535 on step 1.

[Loveless62]

There have been many updates that are about the same magnitude as this one or even bigger throughout the past couple episodes that Sega has pulled off without a flaw. Saying "THIS is what pso2 is known for after EVERY major update" is way off base.

2) I don't feel very comfortable commenting on the state of their code, but it is possible that the pace of their development has caused an accumulation of "tech debt" (as they say). This "debt" can cause issues with further development and maintenance, if they never get a chance to address it.

3) It is highly likely that they work on multiple builds at the same time, at the very least a development branch and a release branch. They could have several branching strategies, like a branch for each release on their road map, with story branches under each of those branches. Or maybe they have feature branches with story branches group under those. What is NOT likely is that they don't keep track of what branch they push changes to.

Now it is possible that an individual changeset was accidentally pushed to this week's release branch that didn't belong. I'm not sure how it wouldn't have been caught, but maybe it is possible.

Anyways, if I had to play armchair software developer (which seems popular around here) I would guess that it is a data migration problem, or maybe just a merge error.

[Saffran]

Due to an unexpected problem the maintenance is extented until it's fixed (no hour given). (1.30 AM japan time)

[Dugs]

Cool, tell me about the horrible errors that happened during the last time we downloaded a patch.

You can't because nothing happened.

Back then it was like a routine, but I'm surprised this time it almost felt like it never happened before. They actually did a great job until today.

[ZerotakerZX]

Maintenance burst, one more!

[Zulastar]

I run game for 15 mins right before Emergency Maint started... Just managed to watch new stuff and get Atra Ex Sword...
All new menu strings was empry - had completely no letters on them... I wish this thing will become normal after the Maint ends.

That happens when there's new stuff, it's just the result of the english patch not being completely ready for the update.

[Terrence]

Reading some of you, it's like if SEGA did this on purpose. Yes, this pisses us off. But it's far worse for them with a full day of income lost.

EDIT - ETA Dec 20th 5h30 PM JST (http://pso2.jp/players/news/22936/).

[BloodPuddles]

HAHAHA!!! That's so funny man. It's obviously not possible, I appreciate your humor though. (I'm too exhausted to accept that time.)

Thats because they use 24 hour time and its actually roughly an hour from now

[Zulastar]

Emergency Maintenance Crossburst status on Bumped :-P

[Dark Mits]

That feeling when I thought I had matured past the stage of refreshing the game launcher every minute to see if I can login...

[ArcaneTechs]

went to sleep, e maint became 11hrs long ww

it SHOULD be almost done in a few mins

EDIT: SERVERS UP, GET BACK TO LIFE PEOPLE

EDIT2: collect that 100% Tri Boost for the e-maint w

[Suirano]

That 2x damage against Omega Masquerade with 15*s is still in the game, get your short clear times now. I wonder if this was intentional honestly.

[XrosBlader821]

Lmao
Classic Sega

[ArcaneTechs]

this was our compensation that everyone recieved:


+100% Tribooster (x5)
50 Star Gem Ticket (x1)
King’s Crest (x250)

i would have been happier with 500SG, Kings Crests mean nothing to me still

[BloodPuddles]

HAHAHA!!! I'm even more exhausted. Alcohol alleviates the symptoms of exhaustion though. Who's hooking m up with that +35 demon talisman, because fuck this game, I love it. I'ma rape some monsters sexually till they give me my weapons, cause I wanna be a god.

Edit: Damnit, I planned on typing in that post they weren't tradeable. Booo me.

Post script: I looked up what P.S. means a couple months ago.

P.S. kings Crests mean something to me, because I'da like them jet boots. (I don't remember what they do, just that I want them.)

Edit: I just learned that they are tradeable, had to come back and acknowledge that. Also to see how dumb I sounded that night. Not too bad I'd say.

[XrosBlader821]

I read somewhere that the Weapon + Leg set effect for new Austere Units is hot garbage, can anyone confirm?

[Saffran]

Visual ++ is still crashing updater.exe at 0/65535 though. How did people actually get the update done?

I guess that's two steps ahead of me.
I will look what version windows 10 is calling upon.
Thanks for the tip!

[Blitzfeat]

Rear + Arm is 50 hp, 20 pp, 80 all attack and 50 dex.
Leg + what i'm guessing is the weapon is 50 dex and 100 all defense.

I'm waking up slightly embarrassed with a massive headache. Whoo to the servers being up though.
