Lamannia Down..

Seriously? You turn off lamannia on weekend when people have more time to check/test news?

Annoying as...everything. I discovered it too, right after posting about the previous night of testing in there & looking forward to doing some more.

I was in the middle of loading into Lama when I got booted. I didn't see an announcement anywhere.

They mentioned it on the livestream.

Very annoying, I don't get it either. Most people work or have school during the week, and put more playtime in on weekends. They did this for the last update as well the weekend before it went live. Very very annoying, I don't know why they do this but I guess they have their reasons. Maybe they're afraid something will be broken and nobody wants to risk having to come in on a weekend to fix it? That's all I can think of for a justification, because far more feedback could be given on a weekend.

Whatever their reasons are, it would be nice to hear them. Unless I missed it, they haven't told us why they'd bring Lam down during the peak playtime days. They bring up Lam for the purposes of getting feedback, but then shut it down during the peak play days?!? Doesn't make any sense to me. Devs, explanation?

Agreed, with work during the week my time was limited & I was really, really looking forward to doing some group testing in Revels this weekend. No notice anywhere of the closure, just... POOF.

Yeah, I just spent 20 minute downloading it again to find it closed.

I guess this way they can say that we were given the chance to test, but they just didn't receive enough feedback to justify changes?

[SkywalterDBZ]

Gotta agree with the disapproval here. Downloaded it Friday before work to come home to it down. Even if Friday was a "go or no go" cutoff for finalizing the patch for say Mon or Tue, that doesn't mean you can't leave it up to get additional feedback for potential future patch adjustments.

I know there were some pretty hefty issues going on. And there was some other feedback right away about the balance changes that may need action. So I think this next week we will see it up for longer.

I have tried to log on to the Lamannia Server now for several days and it indicates it is Down. Is it me or is Lamannia still off line? Thanks.

Yes, Lamannia will remain unavailable until our first Update 29 preview, no specific ETA available yet.

[MaxenThor]

Thanks Cordovan for your reply. Looking forward to the update preview.

U29 is currently targeted towards the end of the year; that's about as close a time frame as we can currently give you. If everything goes according to plan we expect to have a first build of it up on Lamannia in around 2-3 weeks.
