Soldiers, All PC & PS4 servers in all regions will come down for an extended platform maintenance next Wednesday, January 20, 2021 starting at 6:00am PST (3:00pm CET). Downtime is expected to last up to 6 hours. Servers will come down for this extended window so our platform team can perform a necessary backend database migration that is expected to impact a number of in-game systems (login, authentication, subscription, entitlements, etc). All of those systems will need to be tested and verified once the migration is complete, which is why we've made the decision to bring down game servers for the duration. If maintenance wraps earlier than scheduled, we'll immediately bring servers back up and notify the community.

All PC servers will come down for maintenance tomorrow, Tuesday, January 12, 2021, at 6am PST (3pm CET). Downtime is expected to last up to 2 hours. --- Tomorrow's update introduces potential performance improvements released on PTS last week. These code changes apply better multi-thread support when new trackable objects (like players, NPCs, or projectiles) are introduced within your proximity range. The impact for the player should result in less "server lag" in large-scale battles. We'll be monitoring live servers closely after the patch, so please let us know if you run into any issues (we'll leave this thread open for comments/feedback).

All PC LOGIN servers will undergo platform maintenance tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3, 2020 at 10:00 AM PST (7:00 PM CET). Live servers will remain up, but many players will not be able to login during the first 30-60 minutes of maintenance (if you're already logged in prior to 10am PT, you won't be kicked). This maintenance will only impact our launchpad, no gameplay or environmental changes are being introduced. Maintenance is expected to conclude by 12:00 PM PST (~2 hours), though all players should be able to login again after the first hour. Nov 3. 10:45am PT update: Login servers are back up - maintenance is ongoing, but shouldn't block you from logging in or jumping on Live servers.

All PC & PS4 servers will come down for maintenance tomorrow, Monday, October 26, 2020 at the following times: PC: 7:00 AM PDT / 4:00 PM CEST PS4: 8:00 AM PDT / 5:00 PM CEST The only change going into the PC maintenance is that we're extending the duration of Chapter 1 from our Shattered Warpgate campaign through Monday, November 9. There's a bug blocking some players from completing the final chapter mission, along with a few other outstanding issues, and this change will ensure all players have ample time to complete the first Chapter. This won't affect the start time of Chapter 2. PC downtime will be minimal - we're estimating 1 hour, but as it's just a world/zone bounce, we're hoping to come in under that estimate. Tomorrow's PS4 update is MUCH more substantial - we're bringing over The Shattered Warpgate update AND starting our Halloween Event, Nanite ... Read more

This is AMAZING! Its a credit to a lot of insanely talented people who have worked on and supported the game over the last ~8 years, but as a lot of you know our team size is pretty small - we don't have some enormous creative media team, or CG animations team, or million dollar budgets for live-action or anything like that. Near 100% of our video content is real gameplay generated by real players on live environments (many of you have even joined us to help record trailer footage, for which we're eternally grateful!). So thank you ALL for helping us get here!

So tldr, yes its good that you spend it, but if you want to support RPG dont worry about the accounting, just buy the coins and spend them whenever you want.

^This. I'd add that you also support our team just by playing the game - our player count (user base) is just as important a metric to the health and success of the game as revenue.

tl;dr as long as players are playing and having fun, PS2 will be alive and well :)

  • Fixed an issue with the Bio Analysis mission not providing audio/text indication when interacting with a terminal to complete the objective. All factions now see radio messages when hacking the biolab terminals.
  • "Masked Murder" Halloween Directive should now work for NSOperatives.
  • Fixed a bug with the "Witchy Ways" Halloween Directive where Squad Heal/Resupply/Repair would not count progress.
  • Fixed a bug where players would occasionally lose rewards when disconnected during an Alert. If a player is disconnected just before an Alert ends, they'll receive the reward upon logging back in.

I know charity posts and requests are often unwelcomed and unsightly, but I thought it would be great to highlight Rogue Planet Games effort to raise $20,000 for sick and injured children with Extra Life.

Rogue Planet Games will also be doing a special live stream on the week leading up to Extra Life's Game Day on Saturday November 7th. There will also be events and giveaways as well as prizes for the entire community if we're able to reach the goal!

Even without the above, it's definitely a worthy cause and I hope that despite the recent unrest in the community we'll be able to come together as we did for the Escalation update and show what we're capable of as one united team <3

Thanks for taking the time to read this if ...

Appreciate you doing this, my dude. We still have some folks around (including me) from the last time we had an Extra Life team a few years ago, before the new studio, and we were actually the #1 fundraising team in all San Diego, and the #1 game studio in Southern California (not the biggest region around but includes some pretty gd huge studios in Orange County/LA who i won't name *cough* Blizzard & Riot *cough*). So it's a point of pride for us, along with being an awesome cause that everyone can get down with. The PS2 community was a HUGE help then, so it'll be awesome to get back at it with ya'll on the team!

We're still working on some of the prizes, but rest assured the Game Day stream in November will be pretty special. We'll have individual prizes but mostly we're leaning towards community incentives - rewards for everybody if we meet our goals. Looking forward to sharing more soon!
