Hi Guys,

 

Does anyone know if there is an opportunity to postpone updates now?

If you arefeeling well and enjoy some situation just being kicked out for an update is pretty lousy...

 

Same probably applies to situations like shared rooms / parties, or even weddings where xGold has been spent on...

 

Any other thoughts?

 

Thanks!

 

P.S:hope I didnt create a redundant topic...

There isn't any update button, and from what I understand, Babette wants an update button, so that we can choose when to update, and not be kicked out when servers reboot.

 

 

@Babette, major updates often come with a complete reboot and auto update, but smaller updates go through only when you restart the game. I don't think there's any workaround for that.

Really being surprised you havent noticed yesterday...

happened twice I got some button at the bottom on the screen offering to update right away & restart... and showing time remaining till it kicks you out right away to restart.. :(

No way to say... pls... not now....

 

Maybe anybody can take a screenshot when happens... I forgot to do...

Oh oops, I'm sorry, I wasn't on game when updates became available, I didn't know that, must be a new feature maybe.

 

And I agree, opportunity to postpone would be nice, especially if during some events or other private moments.

We also get DCed and have to reload instead of just changing rooms like we used to.  Give us that option back unless you give us the ability to PM our friends.

This post is going to be one of those angry ones - Sorry in advance but this is how i feel right now.

I don't know if the developers read this or not..

But this is a very BAD decision to make the update mandatory and only give us 10 seconds to prepare ourselves for this.

 

Have in mind that this is a sex game. Yes, we have sex here.. and you force us to stop doing it because there is an update.

We pay for this game, and we spend xgold in it as well. Random disconnects (because you decide that you need to restart the server or whatever) are unacceptable. Noone wants to spend 300 xgold again and again to promote his room because you decided to restart the server.

 

I have seen with my own eyes the server restarting 4-5 times in the same day! Also, i have seen the server restarting 3 times in just 1 hour.

 

What I want and i'm sure everyone will agree is:

1. Server stays up whether you have an update or not. Please find another way to push your updates without having to restart the live server! No other serious MMO game has ever done this before!

2. When there is an update available, notify us just like you do now with the latest update. This means *notify* us only! and do not force us to restart. Trust me, if we want the new features and the new updates, we will restart the game ourselves. Forcing us to stop what we do in this game is unacceptable and giving us just 10 seconds to decide is also unacceptable.

3. If for any reason you have made a mistake or whatever and you need to restart the server WARN US! Send a mass message to all users and warn us "the server is going down for maintenance in 30 minutes - expected downtime is going to be 1 minute"! So simple.. Schedule the restarts! (leave some time for us to finish what we do - 10 seconds is not enough). Never restart a live server unexpectedly. It makes us think you are amateurs and you don't have respect for your users! Especially since this game, in it's nature, is something that you don't want to be interrupted for any reason!

 

Regards,

George

3+ paragraphs of typing could be condensed into one sentence: "please give us the option to delay the update, it disrupts gameplay".
