probably not the best time to use a one day prem, I guess I wont be compensated for that. Not sure this update was on the xmas schedule released a few days ago.

would rather BB sort it properly than have the removed connection probs when they introduce Pvp, yeah its annoying but as in real life removed happens
Please do not swear on the forums
and why the german servers are online since more than 1 hour ??
14.10 GMT: Final checks are being done now. Game should be online soon. Gifts will be sent shortly after.
On the first day of Christmas BB gave to me.......a bunch of usless stuff (new loot)
On the second day of Christmas BB gave to me....brand new pvp (or pve or just stuff we didn't want)
On the third day of Christmas BB gave to me....Generals to drunk to fight (5 attacks or more to kill one bandit in the ls camp)
On the fouth day of Christmas BB gave to me....uncontrolable econnomy (50% faster weapons smiths etc or was that double speed smiths etc?)
On the fifth day of Christmas BB gave to me....wrong troop count (population errors)

The fact that there are issues that need fixing is fine, but at least don't make a dozen empty promises on when downtime will end and only an hour after each "deadline" runs out you update the main page with extended downtime and claim you updated it half an hour before the deadline hit...

Soon as the promise to introduce large stacks of troops in the barracks?
Considering the term soon, as it was used by BB maybe the game will be back around september 2015
Thanks for pointing that out! Fixed now for the real time.Quote:

Take some time out and stop being such addicts. there is a life outside Settlers.
the game has been and will always be the same before, during and after any fix or event.
For a game that you don't have to pay for this is pretty good.
HO HO HO ( Bah Humbug)
they will proberly have a gem sale right after so we can pay even more for this lovely smooth bugfree game they supply us with :P
these lot would be unable to run a piss up in a brewery....lol
Personally I think these updated times, albeit telling us about delays are much, much, preferable to silence and being kept in the dark like a mushroom :)
Very refreshing to see continuous updates for once. GJ BB_Ravel
Could BB define soon ?

14:30 still not up :(
UPDATE: Strike by settlers over working hours has swept the lands. The national Settlers coal board in negotiation with miners over conditions (re balancing ) are not happy with having to produce more to meet demands.
I was reported the the mood of the settlers turned nasty after a delay in securing benefits and several mines ( L5) have been torn down.
A lucky explorer on his return was asked if he would continue work and replied "hhmmm"
thanks ravel, im ok got lappy down local now, its all BB's fault im out enjoying myself hehe thank you
I am online! Finally!
I remember how long "soon" was when they were introducing the move building function. I think your estimate of september 2015 is wildly optimistic!Quote:

But seriously it is nice to get some real news at last ....please keep it going BB :-)
any idea exactly what this update is meant to be doing? If it's to improve the generally awful gameplay since the intro of PvP, please take all the time you need.
well guys and gals been fun in forum lol
but putting chooks to bed and school run time so plenty of time for "soon" for me as I wont be here for a hour or so anyway :)
Hope you all have fun when you are in game and BB sends nice gifts be back later :)
On the eight day of Christmas BB gave to me - more bugs that will fit under your christmas tree...Quote:

lololol, at which point it lets me log in.......
Hello lordloocan,
Please do not advertising other games. This is not allowed by the rules
Thank you,
Fexno
servers up *NFL*
Just my 2 cents;
double the down time, double the gifts
triple the downtime, well, you get my drift...
sandycoves up woop
proberly be just as buggy/laggy as before....lmao....update will just add new bugs....:)
server was offline for maint ofr over 4hrs to fix things.....
today doing an rb my general teleported right into the block camp losing me valuable troops....
why is'nt this bug being fix after 2 weeks its still causing people to lose troops !!!!
its my honest opinion BB have gone too far forward and can no longer pinpoint the multitude of bugs in this game. They just keep pushing useless content that is loaded with even more bugs and its now gotten to a stage where any chance of worthwhile gameplay is impeded by one bug or another. I can no longer adventure, which has drastically reduced the time I am prepared to play here now. My time is spent building a few mines and having a chat in guild before logging off and finding something better to do.
They have shown blatant contempt for players feedback on test server by allowing untold reports of bugs there to make it to the live game. They again do not respond to the many more players reporting these same bugs on the live server, allowing for maximum frustration on the players part.
They have shown no interest in communicating with players and their support response is usually along the lines of "it's your fault, not ours".
I feel strongly that the game will be in serious jeopardy if this blaze attitude is allowed to continue into 2015. It will be a sad day when they pull the plug, but unless something is done soon, there will not be so many left to watch the lights go out :(
I have 113 days of premium left, after that it just might be decision time what to do next. This just plain and simple can't go on like this. There's no reason to play when all i do is worry about bugs here and there, how will my gens react, will they be consistent. I play to have fun, relax, not to get more headaches than I already have.
+100 to all the above, the game can't survive in it's present state which is a shame:(
Hi,
I have a game suggestion for you guys....
What would you say to make the game work?? I think it would attract a lot more gamers and keep those already playing TSO, if the game came with no BIG issues.
/Arthur
Please bear in mind that there are probably tens of thousands of lines of code, and loads of it will deal with stuff like communication between the client and server which may not be "visible" to players but almost certainly needs tweaking/fixing practically every time they make a change.
So although I do sympathise with those who are clamouring for fixes that are important to them, there is a wider picture without which the game would not function at all.
At least this time there was good information from BB during the maintenance. Okay they got the timing wrong, but we were kept updated pretty well.
And I honestly believe that if BB were to give details of precisely what they are fixing each time, e.g. "packet redirection at network layer 7 when ttl timeout exceeds threshold", at least half the players would be up in arms about what on earth it means and most of the other half would still complain that it wasn't necessary, or something equally "helpful".

All we got was a semi-funny goody-bag with *santa chased the bad guy away*. Not even clear if that was meant as compensation for unplanned maintenance or just a planned Christmas-massage. We just need BB to be clear on what's going on.
Not going to mention all previous communication-fails, but BB has a horrendous trackrecord here. Not sure who fails, developers, community chiefs, or game management who fails to get things on track. I do know it's so easy to improve on that aspect, I honestly dont have a clue why they just dont start communicating.
now today another shutdown "trying to make sure everything is optimised before the winter holidays"
before they start optimising maybe just get the game to work properly!!!!
i am already 90% convinced the game is dead and am already searching for another game to play this is to much bull to carry on is really pointless they dont have a clue what they are doing,just adding more and more bugs to the game every time they do anything :(.....
i just feel sorry for all the people who actually spent real money on this pitiful game......
Can I play the bloody game? Can you do the hotfix at night when no one is playing?
Can I finnnish this blody BLT that I play for 3 days now? Can I finnish the guild quest that has arrived in the meantime and asking me to finnish 1 adventure?
Can I play without constant interuptions from the OWNER?
Now again due to real life I have to wait until the evening...if I am lucky!
Pathetic
it is night for some players
they cant do it at night cause they then dont get the chance to annoy as many people as they can by doing it at midday :P
