[2020] Escalation Update - March 11th @ 9am (Pacific) / 4pm (GMT) | Planetside Dev Tracker

UPDATE @ 3:45PM (Pacific) - All North American and Asia servers are unlocked. The EU server maintenance is still in progress, but we believe it should be wrapping up soon and we will unlock immediately.

—————————————

UPDATE @ 1:25PM (Pacific) - We encountered the same issues with our CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider that caused us to postpone our PTS playtest last week. As a result, the Escalation update cannot be downloaded. We've submitted tickets to their ops team to resolve ASAP. For now, we are waiting for an ETA from them for the issue to be resolved. Will update once we have more details.

----------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE @ 11:15AM (Pacific) - As you might know, Daybreak TechOps team is performing a multi-game (PS2, EQ and H1Z1) server hardware move in our EU data center to a new data center about 10 mins away. They expected a 12 hour downtime, but it has been extended due to technical issues. They are now expecting to be completed by 3pm (Pacific) / 10pm (GMT).

That being said, we are also in the process of publishing the Escalation update to all regions. At this point, we still expect to complete the publish and unlock all regions EXCEPT EU at 1pm (Pacific). As soon as the EU data center hardware maintenance is complete, we will then unlock the remaining EU game servers. Apologies to our EU community for the unexpected delays. Will update as soon as we have more to share.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone,

Escalation Update is going out in less than 24 hours. Due to a data center maintenance in our EU region, Miller and Cobalt will be coming down at 4am (GMT) on the 11th for 12 hours prior to the Escalation update. Once the EU maintenance is complete, the remaining regions will come down at 9am (Pacific) / 4pm (GMT) for the Escalation publish. The estimated downtime is approximately 4 hours.

Wrel just posted the official Escalation update notes here - https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps2/index.php?threads/march-11-2020-escalation-pc-mega-update.253556/

Thank you all again for your help getting the Escalation update prepared to launch!

See you Auraxis.

So, do you plan to work on that soon?

Good job RPG team with this, cannot wait to see how it's going to play on Live.

We have a lot of ideas for how to rework the tutorial and general NPE, particularly now with Sanctuary providing a space in-game for content and functionality outside of the main game. It'll likely be more of a full rework than an update on the current tutorial, though, so something potentially for one of our next major updates after Escalation launches.

The tutorial is ... not good, about 4 years out of date, and very hacked together, but just disabling it without having anything to replace it?

Especially now that you expect quite a few new players?

Look, I am not in your position, nor trying to tell you how to do you job, but this choice seems so very strange.

It’s largely about returning players as well - those we don’t want to tutorial-block to jump back in with new characters.

But yes, it’s a temporary measure and we’ll be working on something new to replace it.
