Horizons server is dead?

[Wasp0]

as long as it is fixed for the UK and Europeans to play, who cares

 

[Ralph Vargr]

It was a bit after EST prime, but still in PST. But it's an English company, I don't begrudge them their prime team hours being GMT.

Neither do I.

But, they should have a standing watch, for just such reasons. The ship still has an officer of the watch, etc., even if the captain has gone to bed.

I believe it's Brett C. But having been that off-hours stand the watch myself (in a multi-national law firm at that), there's only so much the nightwatch can do. Since the ship isn't going to physically sink and people won't die, we basically just can document and prime some bells for the AM to handle. Looks like that's what happened here.

Don't forget about the Asian

Where you from bud, if you don't mind me askin' then? Love your vids.

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Do we know what it was?

Dare they bring the servers down again today with the 3.03 update? (If Ready)

3.0.3 coming next week.

Seven hour outage, during prime US gaming time.

Glad it's back up.

It's always prime time somewhere in the world. . It actually makes a nice change as a Brit to not beholden to US working hrs (just like it is always beer o clock .... Somewhere )

And you still got it good because London is right behind NY. But yeah, I hear that. Always felt bad trying to service international problems via US hours.

The anycast servers you're hitting intentionally filters out ICMP packets.

From my local firewall that keeps a sync between multiple NTP servers...

I have been in just such a position as a deputy commander, myself (field grade officer). 29 nuclear capable aircraft.

Not. Fun.

1984 was not a good year for me.

See and that's a craft with souls. Totally different level. My Navy buds have been in your shoes, not me. Never had souls on my hands. Non-critical, we exist in like a 6 hour clock. Physical craft, 24hr clock, different world.

 

[Angelpichu]

Logged back on when it came back up and was trying to use throttle 75% while in supercruise and it kept opening the system map. Looked at it again, my buttons got reset, so I go into settings, put it back, and suddenly the pause menu fades and I get blown to pieces by an NPC who interdicted me while I wasn't looking.

After dying twice in an Anaconda with 8 mil rebuy recently, 4 mil python rebuy isn't that bad. I need a dunce cap bobblehead.

And, the alert klaxons go off at 0300 for us. Daylight, and mayhem, on the other side of the planet.

Rats, out of rep.

It is different when it's "for real". See: Able Archer 84.

The span of US bases is insane. I only handled a law firm, so really mostly London and Hong Kong non-US. God I hope military IT is more localized...

Don't you mean '83?

At first I interpreted this one way, and then I saw your username and interpreted it another...nice. That's all I have to say.

Cool thing is all this stuff we love is built on DARPA tech that can handle the 24hr reliability. Just a matter of staffing. Companies just find the minimum.

 

[Eriseley]

Ah yeah, and that's just a doomsday scenario. Boats gotta boat, even in less extreme conditions. So this kinda lost its thread, drawing back -- non-military IT does not have the same demands. Sorry if you're down for hours, but nobody is dyin'. Hell no lawsuits are happenin'.
