OFFICIAL: SERVERS DOWN Topic

Post by thakronickid420 »

servers suckkk

Edited By Buckethead:
Good News! Microsoft improved the servers. If they are down now they will reboot automatic within 1-10 minutes (instead of a few hours).

Stay tuned in Tweets bar for new information.

If you read through the Twitter they view it as part of the process, needing to work out these things.

Wasn't the point of the beta to "work out these things"

Well in typical MS fashion, the beta signup didn't even work. I would have tried the beta but the sign up didn't work for me.

You should have created a new account if your current one was not created before 2014.

I dont want to be negative or flame microsoft, and Im grateful we are getting new servers. But honestly, the experiences I have had with microsoft makes me wonder if theres anything they can do right. Theyre like ea tier shit atm.

Well, in that case the investment to get new working servers is also chump change to microsoft, isnt it?

But putting some employee with some sort of "skill" on it shouldnt cost them that much either right? Microsoft just seems a shitty company to me based on how they handle aoe. At least their gaming department does lol.

The reason why the servers are having some problems is that they have not been tested well enough before they were launched. Microsoft made it really difficult to join the beta testing which resulted in minimal participation (only a handful of people got in and rearly got to play since they were not on at the same time) from the community which lead to the servers not being stress tested. Now they are finding the flaws in the servers which was not discovered in the beta and fixing it along the way thus all the disconnection. Give it a week or two and everything will hopefully be back to normal.

The fun thing is that they were so excited that so many people helped them to test the servers. Im starting to think they have no clue what they are doing.

From a company standpoint they can't say anything else. If your a company you have to communitcate with the community in a positive fashion, even though that might not always be whats needed.

yeah I know what you mean, would've loved if they just told it like it is. Think it would be better for everyone since it gives us a clearer pickture on how things are and how we can help.

Don't think so since there was never more than 1 or 2 online at the same time, if I remember correctly.
