There NEEDS to be a warning that maintenance taking down the servers makes you lose your content lockout

Any news? please we just want communication… like this is nuts. We were told we would have an answer by Monday.

Could you imagine being locked of out of mythic raid week 1 in WoW? That would get fixed ASAP.

I wonder if they’re going to ignore us until the next reset or pretend nothing happened. :weary:

Very likely, and tell us their hands are tied because it’s too late.

@Roxx You should see all these players seriously for losing the entrance without notice. And by mean of hitting 1445 to enter valtan but not able to clear is a big deal.

Any reasonable company would have allocated resources to fixing the problem by now, all we get is blame and confrontation.

Our Valtan group spent hours trying to clear gate 2 for practice before the emergency maintenence. We never expected to lose our entry from it. You really can’t hold players accountable for a faulty system. I was really hoping for an official response or any kind of action for 3 days and there’s nothing but frustrations and disappointments from us players.

Any reasonable company with human beings wouldn’t do a hot fix before a weekend without allocating resources to deal with the problems over the weekend.

Honestly, anyone with a common sense should’ve been able to foresee that the first weekend of legion raid release wouldn’t be a good time to do any sort of maintenance because it opens a door to so many potential issues, like the entry count issue.

Yeah, I would argue that their weekly maintenance should be performed on KR’s Monday so that if there are any issues, they have 4-days of availability.

If they had released the game as is, but time-locked ilvl, we wouldn’t even have an issue because the Re-Entry ticket would be functioning like KR’s version. But then they would have had to include the Honing Changes, that were initially planned then pulled evident by the leak, but that didn’t fit with corporate did it :face_with_spiral_eyes:

That would be ideal but I don’t see that happening.

I am very skeptical if they even have a infrastructure set up to test builds, either from AGS or SG. Or do they even have testers? Do they even test their build?

There are so many bugs after each maintenance, and server side issues. I can only doubt their capabilities in running a game.

Disconnecting and not reconnecting or just outright leaving eats your entrance. It works like this for all content. At 1415 you’ve been playing for months and should honestly already know how this works.

funny bc this is not how legion raids work…

ok next week dont stop raid and just leave and see what happens.

Why should people know how this works? I’ve never DCed from any content or played in a dungeon up until maintenance until now.

And now you see it happening to tons of people because Valtan is the first piece of actually difficult content that will take some groups hours to clear, and they did three maintenance right at the start of the weekend a day after it came out. Most people are seeing this for the first time now.

Remember that for every person this happens to posting here, there are seven other people as well. Hundreds of people didn’t just completely forget this was a thing, they never knew about it in the first place.

It’s amazing how people can try to justify that it makes sense to lose your lockout even though you haven’t cleared the raid.

What are you guys even trying to accomplish?
Do you feel like you gain something by putting people one week behind?
Is there something wrong with people getting their one clear a week?
I can’t understand this at all.

I never thought I’d see a game that would make me want to try WoW out again… but here we are lol

ok maybe you’re right. Maybe people have missed all the complaints on forums/twitter/reddit or their guild about losing Argos/guardian/abyss dungeon lockouts due to disconnects or even the drama from awhile ago of people being held hostage in abyss dungeons. Big lesson learned then, good news is you dont lose that much progress even though it sucks to not be able to clear week one
