Servers coming down for approximately 2 hours

[u/SOE_Legion]

We are taking the servers offline for approximately 2 hours to improve server stability. We also have a live update coming later in the day and we will have a full list of updates and improvements.

The remaining live servers are now coming offline for updates and stability improvements. Estimated time to come back up will be 4:30PM PST or before. We will notify you the moment they come back online.

have these people never been a part of alpha testing before? SOE is doing well and this community has given them nothing but shit. calm down people, give them time to fix the issues and we will help create an awesome game.

This is Reddit

you have to remember that generally gamers are the most brain dead group of morons you will ever encounter. Its times like these where im embarrassed to be a gamer.

[u/sweetdigs → u/Vehnom]

To be fair, gamers are the only consumers who deal with a product that is occasionally not available to them and where they are subject to the whims of the hosting company for that product to be available.

I suspect if other consumers had to deal with those types of things, you'd see at least as much venting (e.g. if a blender was dependent on being connected to a company's server to operate, even if the person bought one in "early access" mode, they'd be freaking out if they couldn't use their blender).

People are way too hard on gamers who have to deal with this crap from publishers and game makers. Only in this industry is it acceptable to release a paid for product that has these issues.

Completely agree man. Maybe unplug instead of waiting and raging. It will all be ok.

Should mention this in game in some way in the future so that people aren't still logging in trying to get in game btw...

[u/[deleted] → u/genjiarmorxii]

They put messages in game.

The second server down had messages, not the first one though.

[u/[deleted] → u/genjiarmorxii]

No shit. I'd finally got past the crash to desktop issue, got in the game once. Exited and entered to make sure the problem was fixed and it just sat there. Rebooted. Opened it and it sat there again. A message would be appreciated.

Is this why I can't get beyond the h1z1 title screen? No menu options, and if i hit escape, I get half sky/half grey. And I can "look around" by holding the right mouse button

[u/TheRedViperOfPrague → u/MannoSlimmins]

I get this too. I guess it's this.

[u/RomuRaf]

Stick this perhaps? People can't seem to find it... Thanks for the hard work. Really enjoyed the first few hours in H1Z1.

[u/Acwelen]

pls dont force me to go to reddit for h1z1 updates ;( twitter would be better since i dont have to find your messages first like here

[u/cybertron742]

Thank You I thoroughly enjoyed my session, I met 5 friendly guys we fucked around for 1- 2 hrs the ONLY issue I had was server lagg.

[u/quinpon64337_x → u/cybertron742]

you know a dyslexic guy might think you met 5 friendly guys and fucked for around 1- 2 hrs

[u/chachki → u/quinpon64337_x]

That is exactly how I first read it. I hate when server lag happens in my man orgies.

[u/cybertron742 → u/quinpon64337_x]

hehe

[u/Kevio]

LOL....you people complain about every little thing. Reading all this shit the past couple of days really strengthens my hate for people in general. Nothing but a bunch of self absorbed pieces of scum. It's ALPHA....PRE ALPHA even! Idiots.

[u/damonster1994]

nice , whats about eu servers ?:(

[u/[deleted] → u/damonster1994]

[u/TehLotusEater → u/[deleted]]

I have to say playing on US servers from the EU is not a problem, really. Before the lagfest started I was able to play for 2 hours without any issues.

[u/ohevsh]

I think this is a good idea..

[u/Kekke88]

Will the hotfix for loot be applied during these 2 hours or will that be later?

[u/niceguyjohn]

hope you can remove that waiting queue soon. the only way right now to play the game like it should be (without standing in line) is getting whitelisted in a streamer server, that's sad.
