don't ask me for codes
Hm, shouldn't they be testing fixes and stuff on a separate server for testers first? And then roll it onto the public servers.

I have a pretty good idea of what the bug is, and it won't really matter until people are cap, so I don't think that it's too big of a deal... I don't know why they would scramble to fix it like that.

@Tera Six hours past the maint. window, we're foregoing the platform update as we'd prefer our current players continue in the Head Start event.
@Tera We're in the process of bringing servers back online & will have another update within the hour. We sincerely thank you for bearing with us.

Alright folks looks like another hour of thumb-twiddling.

They found a bug, took 6 extra hours to try fixing it, still wasn't fixed, so they said fuck it and let everyone do the headstart while they work on it in the background to fix later.

But you know it's not going to be that simple. And they said they'll have an update within the hour, meaning at least another hour before the servers actually come up.

Why aren't they putting this on a test server? Why not, you know, test a major patch/update before activating it on the live servers? I know stuff happens, but this could have easily been avoided.

They probably already had it prepared, then noticed a major bug they missed before and went fuck lets try and fix it and ran out of time and rolled back and just turning it on like normal.

It's probably related to the server transfers or level cap.

I think it's a problem with the subscription system, not with the actual client. It's likely that it has something to do with creating a new account or activating a subscription. I don't think it's gameplay related at all, and likely has nothing to do with a patch.

Server transfers or level cap is another big possibility, like Gvaz said.

If it is gameplay related, it's probably the bug that lets people stack PvP damage/PvP damage resistance on the level 60 reputation barter items - something that won't be a problem for at least a few weeks.

Island of Dawn was experiencing major problems after the small patch. Boss kills would randomly not register, etc.

Get those servers up, I'm feeling early symptoms of withdrawal.

Right but Priest is 30 seconds of stun immunity on a 60 second recast, which seems like it would be frustrating. Do Warriors have a way to dispel?

Warrior don't give a fuck about your stun resist.

(32) Mangle- A Toggle skill that cost 10 mana/sec that gives a 25% movement snare to the 4th attack in your Combo Attack chain for 4 sec.

(22) Pounce - This is a short range leap attack with good damage and a 50% movement 4 sec speed reduction effect.

What I find more troubling than this extended extended maintenance is that I still havent been able to access the inaugural subscription pricing and the deadline for it is in less than a day.

Has anyone been able to update their subscription plan?

The deadline for the monthly/yearly discount rates is actually May 30th for everyone.

It isn't actually just stun resist, it's 100% immunity to all forms of harmful debuffs as well (stuns, snares, DoTs, whatever). Think they can actually glyph it to like 48 second recast too, so without a dispel it's probably annoying as fuck.

probably sub. I don't remember ever getting a 6 month sub because expiration says that on the character select screen.

But can they cast it while stunned? Most K-tera stuff I seen with warriors vs priest the priest just kinda... got blinked in on then died

No idea, but I'd wager not. It is instant cast, though (as is their shield which also grants stun/knockdown immunity), so it's probably hard to stop them from casting it.

warrior blink in and stun is instant too. So I guess it becomes a quick draw haha

Every MMO has their maint screwups.

Blizzard was renowned for their WoW 24 and even 48 hour downtimes when things went really REALLY wrong with upgrades.

Because the way people are playing, there will be capped players the first week of the game.

I hit 38 at local noon on Saturday, and I was beaten by 3 hours. Some people in my guild who stacked the shit out of repeatables had 38 literally 1 hour after head start began at 8 am and were running CR already. These same people stacked every available BAM in 3 zones last night. They will be 60 before Friday, I can almost guarantee that. They sleep like 3 hours at a time and resume grindan.

According to Amazon, I'm not getting the physical CE until Friday.

With the grace period only being 48 hours, that's at least a day of downtime.
