Why is it that with every event we get constant maintenance? One mess after another, we have a test server BB so why does this happen? Please test things properly before deploying them!

Yeh great isn't it.
So the only chance I get to log in is lunch. But broken. So no consecutive log-in bonus again. And gems to unlock the calendar.
The only question is, what will they 'fix' this time that breaks something else?
This seems a little harsh, considering the small number of people who actually use the test server, it is hard to produce these games I would imagine and I suspect that it is even harder to anticipate how game play will be affected on mass. Give them a break. Plus of course it does not go down that often considering all the new things they keep adding to make the game interesting.
the test server has always loads of ppl on it. not surprising considering there is only one test server for ALL servers.Quote:

Hour by hur we will come to full mantainance....only during the day this time............
one :test never gets anything like the amount of players that the live game gets.. so only some of the many bugs are picked up
two :if BB fix the game IMO take all the time they need, rushing wont help no one
three: its Christmas a few hours out our lives wont kill us, go do some christmas shopping ect
sounds like a good excuse to go to the old rubber dub woohoo
have a merry Christmas one and all
BB is not a garage band. They are now company. They have everything except they are losing track of time. On scale 1 to 5, five for game....on a scale from 1 to 5 for timing: ONE, big as a house
there will always be easter/halloween/xmas events and always at this time in events game gets more laggy and bugs etc but usually is only for 3 months out the yr and if they do special ones like ballongate and footy events etc
yes there are lots of bugs in game and they test things out and get told on test look this is buggy dont do it and do it anyway BUT we cant dictate to them what they can/cant do BB decide what they want in the game at the end of the day
all i would say we need at moment it better communication from BB to us the players to explain whats going on,
maybe something they are trying to fix to try keep people happy is taking longer than expected who knows but odds are the game should be up at some point today once they sort out whatever they are hoping to achieve with this down time
Down time is much better than it use to be. As for people on test server, hard to know how many people do actively use it, not that many outside of major updates I would guess
maintanance expected to last 2 hours. it has been 3 hours at this point.
this is why i have trust issues
good point Salem_Warrior and a happy Christmas 2 UQuote:

10.25 am GMT: The deployment end time has been pushed to 12.30 pm GMT.
09.40 am GMT: Servers went down.
But yeah, very annoying...
oh well now its getting annoying the guys in my adv will be stuck till tomorrow and i needed just lunch last attack :D was ok its 2h and can wait but cant wait 4h...
why use the test server if bug reports are ignored and its just deployed as is with very small changes i for one log in and have a quick look at upcoming events stopped playing it a long time ago
I'd like to see the player feedback if BB were to announce they're skipping the next event in order to do some bugfixing instead...
i.e. players would rather have events with bugs than just the same old, same old with the only change being bugs that get slowly fixed. And if BB don't have the resources to do both then it's clear which one they choose. Because they can't do otherwise, really.
Ah well, 11 came and went, oops so did 12:30, ooh look there goes 13:30, or is my watch wrong?
13:40 GMT - still says 13:30 GMT, and still not upQuote:

its only few mins later than they said im sure they are doing their best and will probably be back live soon.
Just think ok these are European servers but I know we have people from New Zealand and Australia etc play on them they have to deal with this all the time as ok BB do it when Europe sleeps normally but not for our friends south of the Equator it isn't they just let BB do what they have to and get on with it
Nope, BB must of gone to Xmas lunch!! Cant wait for the FREE gifts, I wonder if it will be 10 or 20 FISH???
Just pick 3 of these:Quote:

1400 now, why not just put 2015 as start date, probably be closer
Are we there yet
UPDATE: now delayed until 1400 gmt - which gives them 9 more minutes... I don't understand why they couldn't have updated that 20 mins ago.
Because he asked i think u should take his 2k grannite away and give it with mine so i get 4k :P
tbh if they need to fix somethink they need to fix somethink. bugs and problems will always occur even with a test server.
Yeay, it's two pm I can play now... oh wait....
Woohoo, there went 14:00.Quote:

So do you think 12:10 they already knew it would be 30 mins more - or just to cringeworthy to put "13:45 pm GMT: The deployment end time has been pushed to 14.00 GMT." :)Quote:

Hey BB - as much as I take the mick, its only coz been there done that ;) keep on keepin on :) you're still 36 hours ahead of the worst "2 hour update" I have co-ordinated
14:05 and still locked out
Five hours downtime so far, BB keep extending the time. This is really a joke, why can't this updates or maintenance be done during the night when less people would be trying to play the game? Come on BB get the game back o line.
Why do they keep changing the time to something thats allredy passed???Quote:

Solid work from BB once again. If they actually used feedback from the test server and didn't roll out broken rubbish more people would use it. They put stuff on there then change it before it goes live so you can't get any useful information from it any more. They may as well not bother with the test server in the first place at this point. They just release broken features anyway even after they've been told for weeks from the test server so what's the point in going on it? There is none. They'll just release anyway then bug fix it after, continuously reintroducing the same bugs over and over (population broken yet again, huge interface lockups .... again).
I honestly would rather they skip an event. Chuck the calendar in for xmas then make the game actually run properly. It's so laggy and lame now. Getting sick of waiting 5 minutes for adventures to come through. Finally after 3 years we're getting a fixed barracks troop ordering system but that is almost guaranteed to be broken as hell when they release it
One thing for sure: don't set your clock using BB as reference.
We all approaching Christmas and not 1th of april.
Did BB have calendar out of date? It seems to me as a joke - every 30 min to put more 30 min.
Almost there!
LOL
