Just wrapped up a meeting with the team to finalize changes going into the build for our closed PTS playtest tmw. Lots of great feedback coming from the community members that are involved (you know who you are 👀) #planetside2 #FebUpdate @RoguePlanetSD
Just got home and the @RoguePlanetSD team shirts from @customink arrived! Excellent quality, insanely fast turnaround and even arrived a day ahead of schedule. Can’t wait to hand these out to the team tomorrow morning! #planetside2 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPBVNDjVUAA7kPG.jpg
. @WrelPlays @Game_Dev_Carto Perhaps we get everyone together for a quick photo tomorrow so everyone who keeps asking how big the #planetside2 dev team is @RoguePlanetSD can just count for themselves?
ICYMI - @planetside2 PC servers will be coming down for a scheduled database and hardware maintenance. Apologies for the extended downtime, but it’s necessary and we will make every effort to complete it as quickly as possible. https://twitter.com/planetside2/status/1221825334359752711
In addition to the database and server hardware maintenance tmw, we're slipping a few fixes:
* Fixed bug where footstep audio could get stuck playing.
* Empire Strength now properly triggers Meltdown alerts for VS on Indar
* Warpgates should no longer get stuck in unstable state https://twitter.com/planetside2/status/1221825334359752711
Quick update - maintenance is still in progress and looking to be completed in the 12 hour window we estimated. Possibly a bit sooner. Will update once we are about 30 mins from unlocking. #planetside2 @RoguePlanetSD https://twitter.com/planetside2/status/1222127304308150274
@scorcher646 @RoguePlanetSD As soon as the Feb update is ready for larger-scale testing. In the meantime, we have been using it for *closed* testing with a couple hundred community members that have pinkie-sworn that they wouldn't leak any of the details.
@HelmVater @planetside2 @RoguePlanetSD Its likely a missing font. Could you try validating your game files and let me know if its still happening after?
The @planetside2 Live servers are unlocking now. They should be accessible within a couple mins. For those keeping score at home, we just missed the 12 hour estimate by about 4 mins. Fortunately, this specific maintenance should not be needed again #planetside2 https://twitter.com/planetside2/status/1222127304308150274
Wanted to provide some details/transparency on the @planetside2 server hardware upgrades we performed during our database maintenance yesterday... the tech ops team was able to complete the switch-over to the new hardware in all regions EXCEPT Emerald (US East).... (cont)
@planetside2 The logistics for the hardware upgrade in the data center that Emerald is housed in on the US East Coast is a bit more intensive. So we were not able to do it yesterday. I'm speaking with the Daybreak tech ops team this morning to get a handle on the timing of when... (cont)
@planetside2 it will be done. Once we have a confirmed date/time, we will share it. The plan would be to have it coincide with a regular game update, so it shouldn't cause any unnecessary extended down time once ready. We have been getting some positive feedback on the server perf...(cont)
Interested in a glimpse into the @planetside2 dev process here @RoguePlanetSD ? Join @Game_Dev_Carto this evening. Perhaps you might get a sneak peek at some stuff going into our next update 👀 https://twitter.com/Game_Dev_Carto/status/1222589120624484352
And for context, the @planetside2 Live server hardware that we replaced/upgraded yesterday was from launch back in 2012. So like 7+ years old. Lots of exhausted hamsters https://twitter.com/AndySites/status/1222573185201098752
@TecknoJock @planetside2 Working on this now. They should be reporting properly again by tomorrow (Thurs) afternoon. In the meantime, players may see missing/old data.
FYI - the @planetside2 PS4 servers are currently offline while we perform the same database maintenance we ran on PC last week. We expect the maintenance to be completed by on or before 230pm (Pacific). #planetside2
@cspwarthog @planetside2 You’re absolutely right. As I hope you know, we always post notifications about anticipated downtimes like this. We dropped the ball this time and didn’t post in advance. I apologize for the oversight - it shouldn’t happen again.
@JamiePantonUK There appears to be an issue with the data center that the EU servers are located in. The Daybreak ops team is working with them to understand the cause. That said, @planetside2 servers should be back up and accessible now.
Yes, as of now we plan to bring the @planetside2 Escalation Update to PS4, but there will be a bit of a delay between releases due to the amount of work required. It also likely means that the Construction system will finally move over as well. https://twitter.com/InsomniakDak/status/1225563466070667266
For any content creators that would like some additional tools to help capture for amazing gameplay videos on PTS that @RoguePlanetSD and @planetside2 will promote via social, please ping jgolenbo#0710 on Discord. He will hook you up. #planetside2 https://twitter.com/The_Markov/status/1225566968490663936
Just a reminder that we will be unlocking the Public Test Server with the @planetside2 Escalation update for the playtest stream at 2pm (PST) today. Details about where to send feedback, bugs, etc will be posted before we unlock. https://twitter.com/AndySites/status/1225684566582521863
Since our announcement of the upcoming Escalation game update, the outpouring of excitement by the #planetside2 community has been phenomenal. Today @planetside2 had some of the highest server pops in a while. The @RoguePlanetSD team thanks you ALL for your support!
Lots of solid feedback from @planetside2 Public Test Server over the weekend. Update with the first round of changes/bug fiexes likely coming tomorrow (Tuesday). Will post more details once we have a better handle on timing. Thanks again for taking time to check out the update
@planetside2 And for additional transparency, we were trying to release the first round of changes sometime today, but there was a power outage in the building over the weekend that has caused some lingering issues and delaying our ability to prepare the build for an earlier release.
@chayne424 Sorry for the delay - got distracted with the dev stream and PTS publish on Friday. I spoke with the Daybreak Ops team and it's looking like a mid-March time frame for the Emerald Live server upgrades.
Thank you @ArsheeTv for dropping by the @RoguePlanetSD studio to meet with the @planetside2 team today. Was great to finally meet you in person! And thank you to @CMDRCyrious for the gifts! The team is sufficiently wired for the next few days! ☕️👀🔥https://www.twitch.tv/ArsheeTV
Good morning @planetside2 community - the PTS update has been delayed due to some publish issues that the @DaybreakGames ops team is trying to resolve. The server will be coming down once they have resolved the problem and we will update the est. unlock time. Sorry for the delay https://twitter.com/AndySites/status/1227479717831413761
The Daybreak Ops team appears to have resolved the issues that were delaying the @planetside2 Test Server publish this morning. PTS should be coming down shortly for the update with an est. downtime of less than 2 hours. https://twitter.com/AndySites/status/1227648934056615936
@planetside2 if you dont have time to read through my post
tl;dr - light update with several changes based on community feedback. @RoguePlanetSD team is working on a full update for PTS, which will include automated Outfit Wars match scheduling, along with numerous other changes - ETA: Friday
All the @planetside2 vets out there know how much depth there is to PS2. Please share this with any newcomers that you run across. As quoted by the late poet Christopher George Latore Wallace, "If you don't know, now you know". #planetside2 https://twitter.com/planetside2/status/1228038925094195201
