Resets W/O Warning
« on: January 29, 2008, 10:10:41 AM »
Ok this is the 2nd time in a row HTC has reset the arena without any warning at all. for Titanic Tuesday 1-29.  What happened to customer service around here? I was about to land kills when arena was reset, and several other people had the same complaint.  Please return to the policy of giving us a countdown before the reset.

When the war is won there's usually a 5 minute warning, which I think is too short.  If resets happen without any warning, then I agree with you that it is wrong.

it may have been done automatically by the server?

You guys ever think the arena might have crashed?  I have never seen HTC reset an arena without some kind of warning.  Maybe the server that arena is on had some issue and booted itself, or a power spike cause it to reboot itself.  

Don't just assume that they reset it to tick you off.

If Tuesday was over... that might be the reason. The so called titanic tuesday is just for tuesday.

Did it happen at midnight CST?

It was the Titanic Tuesday reset - and yes, I have seen the arenas being manually reset without warning before. But it's no biggie for me though.

My bad.  Skuzzy's out today and I did it, not knowing that he customarily gives warning.  I just thought everyone knew.  So, Bear and others who were put off, you have my apologies.

If you are flying when the arena resets you will lose nothing.
