I really doubt again this was caused by too many people accessing the game at the same time. Seems more and more likely it's a problem with server itself. The fact it sometimes took 3-4 attempts to connect during the last few days probably didn't help and was the first symptom that something was wrong.

I'm excited to see the compensation we will get.

The fact we were having login issues in the past few days sounds exactly like server overload.

Also, they probably won't give us anything.

I'm guessing something like 60 DO.

I'd rather have a new batch of units released. Release a Soul Sacrifice or God of War set of spirits and all will be forgiven.

Woke up, and it's still not up? Daaamn.

For compensation, I would love it if they temporarily gave us the option to summon from either EU or AS Advance/ Regular pool.

I want a light joker, which was my Raid goal anyway.

Give me a light joker and I shall forgive.

Sooo.. The 30 second high that I get from capturing a zone and/or getting a SR is like smoking crack?

Yeah.. I can get with that. :)

It's laughable that the trophy is apparently the holy grail, and if someone misses out on it, they're going to quit.
For one, I doubt that quitting it going to affect anything. They either have your money, or probably weren't going to get any of it in the first place.
And if someone's enjoyment of a game rests on this one trophy, one that still can be obtained, I can't imagine they're going to stay interested in it long enough to get the 100% freed areas trophy.
Click to expand...
Could you be a tad more patronizing please? Thanks.

First off, the trophy is a hook. And I've been working at that hook for a month now. I've but in minutes every day of my life for the last month to satisfy the means for that trophy. I have wasted my time. I don't take lightly to a game wasting my time like that. Secondly, it's called opportunity cost. "Probably not going to get it", implies that at some point they could, and that's good enough for them. And besides, it's not about them. You don't quit playing a F2P game to hurt the company, that's absurd. And thirdly, I doubt this trophy will be easily attainable if they ever have to do such severe maintenance again. This game already wasted my time once, why would I waste more? Sure the trophy is still attainable, but there's a limit to just how much time I'm going to invest in this game. I never wanted 100% for this game (no Platinum is dumb) but I would have gladly settled at 90%.

I still haven't decided if I'll pick the game up again when it's back up but this maintenance break is bad for the more immediate player base activity. Part of this game is the routine. And when the routine is broken, it's very easy to take a step back, observe, and realize that may indeed have better things to do.

This is exactly it. This is how I got out of my PAD obsession. Couldn't play for two days... then realized I was totally wasting so much time.

Actually this help convince me not to drop another 20 into the orb market. I'm just incredibly obsessed with getting Lady of Depths. Here's hoping that we get a major 'please come back to us' offer.

Sony must've been cheap on the servers, because Q? Entertainment hosts a Vita MMO in Japan, so they have experience with this sort of game.

Hopefully they are using this incident to stock up on server capacity.

They should give themselves 24-48 hours to solve the issue instead of pushing the deadline every 3-6 hours. Hopefully it will fix the issue for good.

Yeah I too am really bummed about losing my work to earn that darn 30-day trophy. I don't know if I have it in me to start from scratch again. Game's a lot of fun, but losing all that work is too frustrating.

Seriously, though: If you are a game maker, DON'T DO 30-DAY TROPHIES! It's also the reason I uninstalled Wake Up Club (missing out on my window and having to start over due to a wifi glitch.)

I have been playing this game in the last days and I am enjoying it a lot, but the "hunt" feature is broken for me, I have the European version since I was living in Germany and now that I am in America, I was excited that I will get something cool, but Near doesn't work, I have been 30 minutes trying to update my location and keeps telling me it can't found it :/

I'm still using Wake Up Club. Only 30-something more days till I get all the trophies! But I have 2 late risings, which ruined almost a year long streak of early risings. And I didn't even get up late, I got up before the alarm went off and forgot to turn off Wake Up Club.

This is sad. Shit happens, but nearly 24 hours of outages and spotty availability will kill a social game like this. I just got the Greys man, I need to start leveling them up!
