6 hours since the last update. They should know something by now...
It is nice to see some real information shared by some one at BB, even if it technospeak.
It took 42 days to run a script to fix a problem I had.
Im sure glad I practiced for this last week by losing my net for four and a half days. I know survival is possible!
Not if your script has one line only: "truncate all", lol.Quote:

please don't give BB any ideas like this.
btw...got 2 RB ls on sale...let me know who are interested ;)
Send the invite.
I don't understand IT stuff, anyone have an idea why they take so much longer to fix Ares? Shouldn't it be the same fix as for Zeus?
I want the other Sett! :)
Because they fixed Zeus first, went to sleep and are now working on Ares.Quote:

Because it's complex. Even something little, like timestamps, can be very complex. For instance, when you do something, such as start a buff, where does the timestamp on that buff come from? The server time, a set time somewhere in the world, from your pc? What happens if the source where the timestamp was generated changes (daylight savings time, someone manually changing the system time, etc)? Does the timer adjust to the time change or no? And if it adjusts, what if something is now going to end before it begins? What about when multiple people are affecting the same area (people visiting your island, more than 1 person adventures)? Where does the timestamp get generated from and what if they don't all match?Quote:

It's hard to state how complex these things can be - and when something gets recorded wrong for the whole world - figuring out what to get back and how to get it back and what putting it back can possibly break in other places be a really big ole can of worms to open.
And it's not a can of worms that you pass around like shift work to whoever is coming on duty next. And it's also not something you want people who are brain drained from being up and staring at it too long to be working on either.
I'd much prefer the best fix to the fastest one in instances like this.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!Quote:

thanks for the explanation, I figured it was probably complicatedQuote:

look on the news page lol !
I'll take hindsight is 20/20 for $1,000, Alex.Quote:

Oh well gives me more time to read up what others have posted about their experiences with the new sections.
Hope you enjoyed the XXL pack so far, because now you are locked out like us :p
Oh, I don't know that I go that far.Quote:

Just because some of us are more experienced (or lucky, or both) doesn't give us a right to blast them for complaining about their loss.
I do hope that they are able to be restored what they lost.
It said "approx an hour"
kinda leaves room for interpretation
No special buildings or mines at risk, just want my feasts refreshed ;)
Oh, yeah!Quote:

Still down? Great. Tomorrow I would have had my 6 months gem award plus my 7 day gem award. 2 special mines gone. Please tell me BB will really cough up substantial perks for players. And not just premium players.
And yesterday at 11:45 .m. EDT they said approx 5 more hours, so.........Quote:
