Right! Time to get my Kintaro's right from Basic to Mastered!

Thanks for the nice gift.

Looks like I'm taking my laptop out of town with me this weekend

Also, a small hiccup in service when something changes is not downtime. Getting DC'd once because something changes is not downtime. Previously it was 1-3 hours downtime each time they had to change something. I know it's rough having, like, a small hiccup of 25 seconds out of your day so that PGI can add bonuses for the weekend, but.. you know, some people out there don't have food, so there ya go. Get over it.

Awesome my fiancee is going out of town tomorrow

Nice PGI... but I would've loved to seen some Paints on Sale and maybe some holiday-only Cockpit Items too! My Sarah's Jenner is missing something a little girl would really, really want... a stuffed Teddy Bear holding a Heart! But it's okay... I forgive you, Devs, after all, it's Valentine's Day

Erm, so you want to change the data on a server while clients do access it?
I mean even 24/7 gas stations do have a short break for billing every 24h. Do you sue them?
There are some limits everyone with common sense can realize.

I've been a programmer for almost 20 years. One of my larger projects was a server application that handled all monetary transactions for a national bank. If THAT server EVER went down - then YES we would get sued. No doubt about it - it was in our contract. Not sure what your point is here since comparing a server application to a gas station makes absolutely no sense.

Hope the downtime is to make UI2.0 useable.. kind of pointless to by MC and upgrade the XP.. if I can figure out how to use it.. !

Z Z Z Z Z Z you woke me up for Double Xp weekend ? About as useful as sales for Champion mechs.

End of line.....

[Vidarok]

I couldn't care less.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

At Valentinsday, it would make sense to give everybody half Exp..so everybody will spend more time with his Girl....

Just enough to make a post about it though eh!

[Thomas G Wolf]

Double credits might have made me come back for the weekend but 2x exp is next to useless, at least to alot of us so N.O.P,E.

This event is a thinly (bridal) veiled attempt to draw people off the Titanfall beta.

Axeman: Production server downtimes are pretty normal, consider security patches which usually require a reboot. What it sounds like you're referring to is unexpected crashes by unknown cause, yea that's sloppy on production, but that's what multiple environments are for.

Ryoken: Normally production servers are patched during non-peak hours, typically early in the morning. But MWO services worldwide clients so their non-peak hours might be at strange times. Regardlless, they would probably need to pay someone overtime for that role as I doubt they have a graveyard shift programmer. How they're doing now is alright considering their situation.

Sooo, anybody else not getting this promised double XP? It's not very nice to promise such a sweet deal and not deliver on it

Of 5 mins?

UI2.0 was supposed to make such things unnecessary. If it is this difficult to use and still unable to provide the backend they require, I... will be quite upset.

Woot Double XP Weekend!!!!!! Thanks!

This is exactly what I needed to finish off some module slots and basic my shiny new cataphracts.

[Butane9000]

You should do Double XP events more often. At least once a month or every 2 months.
