This is a prime example of why the community is so unhappy with kabam. Game down no response from Devs beyond ordering us to keep our complaining to one thread. This is going to impact people's aq progress amongst many other things within the game.
Yea as usual, it's been having issues for the past 10 minutes and seems like it's about to go down yet again.
Honestly I don't get why they don't update or migrate their severs to a better one already because these ones are absolutely terrible and extremely unstable.
It is probably a bit more complicated than just upgrading the servers to the non-crashy kind.
Even if it's complicated they still need to do it, even if it's a lot of work they still need to do it, even if it costs a lot of money they still need to do it.
Because there's no excuse for not doing it, this is an old game and probably using very antiquated serves that are extremely unstable and go down way way to often for everyone's liking usually at important times.
Sometimes they go down multiple times a day for hours upon hours which is absolutely horrendous when you think about it and compare it to other games and when you take into account how much revenue they make off of us.
It's time for a new server or an upgraded one.
They are probably using cloud-based front ends to virtualized backend servers, so what you are suggesting them to do is probably literally impossible. The mental model you have for how computing works doesn't apply to large cloud-based distributed virtual platforms. Virtual server instances don't have dedicated hardware, and distributed application clouds don't even have any sense of running on specific hardware at all.
Persistent crashes like this rarely have anything to do with the server infrastructure per se. They are more likely due to system faults. When they are related to the underlying infrastructure, it is often something you can't just trivially upgrade. For example, IOPS stalling can cause all sorts of wonderfully weird problems, but you cannot just buy an unlimited amount of IOPS.
Why can’t you? And how do IOPS relate to IBOP, formerly known as IHOP?
I’m afraid that things are going out of control for Kabam. It should be alarming that they can’t keep the game going for 2 weeks in a row without emergency maintenance.

We don't have anything from your: "Thank you" every time...or anyone else from your team.

IHOB doesn't usually concern itself with IOPS except during all you can eat pancake month.
What happened to the days when the game went down and The Collector would apologize for the game not being up to his standards and we would get e few small items for the inconvenience?

After the thirty-five thousand nine hundred eighteenth time someone kicked the Collector's butt for a shinier yellow crystal, the Collector said screw you guys, I'm going home.
I'm sure they'll have it up soon. I get that it's frustrating when you're in the middle of something. Just saying.
Have you beat the collector yet?
Care to impart what that has to do with the servers? Unless they run on Collector Kills, I'm afraid that really doesn't pertain to the topic.
I don’t know what’s funnier @GroundedWisdom getting flagged for spam on every post of his or carnage’s crappy damage 😂😂 nothing personal, I promise. Just funny is all man
Oh I don't take it personally. If people want to spam the Flags, it's their Accounts.

I figured it was because his brother took over and that guy is more of an a-hole. XD

Nope you’re kabammed, sorry bro. Happened to us before

Yes, that’s what I meant. But it could be international bath of pancakes. Maybe.
stickied thread. Thank you so much for your patience while our Teams work to resolve the issue and get The Contest back up and running!
Yes. And I am pissed.

30-minute timers and call it a day. Or just tell us to sod off and let this continue...
Right!! I defiantly should be more patient...... before pulling out my wallet. A lesson I learn more and more each day.

Yeah a free 6* for all sounds reasonable for Kabam not being able to occupy your time in the bathroom.

I’ve been trying to tell him that for years. I guess being Comdescending doesn’t violate the TOS. But telling the truth does.
Tenebrous is doing her job. She isn’t who you’re angry at. This is just rude.
