Title: Resets W/O Warning
Post by: Bear69 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.

bigger question is, who gave Skuzzy a day off?  We had him mostly wore down, now with a day of rest we're in trouble again.
:D

OK here we go again, I thought it was said that we'd get a warning next time.  Arena reset at exactly 11 am est but there was no verbal warning.

well if Skuzzy's in today, so you can blame him..... does that make you feel better? :D

Heres a clue, EVERY Tuesday, and EVERY Wednesday at 11 eastern the arena WILL BE RESET until they decide they no longer want to do Titanic Tuesday.

You're kidding me right?  I was specifically told that this was "more than a game"?   Now I'm all confused.   I need to go to Candy Mountain now.

We have to win the war!  Calling this some sort of game is the deepest of insults.

More hilarious would be to give the 10 min warning, then immediately pull the plug.
