Our next log should have some more details plan is for that to be out prior to the PTR launch.
The concerning part of this is "The Engineer". Sounds like a very small support staff dedicated to keep the servers running.
I'd like to hope we wouldn't assign multiple engineers to bringing down a single network :P
Aaaaand, that's offline now.
The PVE EU Network is now offline, thanks guys.
This is brilliant ❤️
🙃
We're targeting the 1st, when the patch is prepped to launch, we will give ya guys notice and instructions on how you can dive in.
Our internal testing has been on going for a while now, the team probably started whilst I was at GDC. The PVE EU network should come down in a few hours, but wouldn't put a timer on it. The engineer working with those servers also has other things that they're doing, so they're just prioritizing accordingly. Wednesday was just the earliest he expected that he'd take them down so we wanted to give notice accordingly.
It's still to be determined as we're finalizing it, but it'll prob be the largest patch yet (outside of game install) due to the world changes (additional islands, trenches and content).
Please note, this does not mean that the PTR will accessible to players on the 27th, just that this network will go offline to prepare for it.
Attention Pathfinders,
This coming Wednesday, the 27th of March, we’ll be bringing down the Official EU PvE Network as we prepare for the upcoming launch of the Public Test Realm. We’ll be needing to make use of the entire 15x15 grid to ensure that we are fully able to check our changes, including the additional islands and new biomes.
In the future, the PTR will exist on its own network with its own unique servers, potentially in the form of multiple small clusters. However for this update, due to the sheer size and availability of hardware, we’ll be making use of this network.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we are very excited to get this patch out to you guys as soon as possible. Stay tuned for more details in the coming week regarding the launch of the PTR and the patch.
Please note, this does not mean that the PTR will accessible to players on the 27th, just that this network will go offline to prepa...
