Important Server Update Required, Syndicates Will Remain Locked Temporarily

[CJ54]

Hello everyone,

To perform necessary server upgrades, we will have to leave syndicate membership locked for several days after the end of the current Syndicate Battle event. We understand that this will be an inconvenience for some of our players, and we deeply apologize for that. We will have the server upgrades done as soon as possible and provide an eta when one is available.

Thank you for your patience, and again we apologize for any inconvenience experienced.

Interesting....

[cloud strife]

Great .... -.-

Thank you, GREE. Now we all can spend more time with freeloaders in our syndicate, befriend them, and celebrate this fantastic war together in harmony.

[CJ54]

Title changed since it isn't so much emergency maintenance as just something we have to do to keep things ticking along. Won't have any far-reaching effects other than being frustrating (which we apologize again for, it is completely understandable)

[ILikeTheAbuse]

:) Thanks for the heads up!

[montecore]

How about locking the syndicates forever? Players quit, die, get in fights, none of it matters. Forever trapped.

[Mirmur]

↑ well of course you say thank. You like the abuse.

I'm glad you're taking pride in that accomplishment!

[sap_pete]

Better fix it so slackers and saboteurs can be kicked out during battles. The current situation is BS.

[Oh_TheHorror]

So much hostility. I love the arrogance on display here. Because no one wants to take any responsibility for having campers in their own syndicate, this becomes GREE's fault. I've never been a GREE apologist, but you guys need to take some personal responsibility on this one.

It's a phone game. Get a grip. :rolleyes:

I would like to see at least an opportunity to boot immediately after last battle before rewards are given. Maybe have a minimum score allowance to prevent wrongly booted players

Everyone who was part of the faction during the war gets the prize. That is the exact reason that factions stay locked for an hour after battle (except a deal longer this time due to the server maintenance, but normally an hour).

This has been discussed before. If a player is booted from a syndicate after war (for whatever reason) then Gree will award them the prizes won by the syndicate if they send a ticket in. That being a time consuming pita is the reason why syndicates have been locked for a couple of hours after war ends.

As Oh_TheHorror says, syndicates need to take responsibility beforehand. It's not like they don't have a whole cycle to gauge someone's performance, is it?

[Lil_Eugenie]

(In a soft creeeeppy voice) We're sorry, we're sorry

But I lost my phone! And then I found it but my iTunes account was locked, and the bank said I had to go in person on Monday. And then when I showed up they said my account was locked for 48 hours.

[big ty]

Thanks for the information

[BrisingrBoss]

I vote for minimum points to get the prize. we could set them before battle and not be able to change them till all prizes are awarded. i would go as far as having a countdown like 24 hours before battle being the limit on how many points are minimum required for prize. as long as these minimum points are set by the syndicate and not by Gree.

[wawoftam]

does this locking have anything to do with why I cannot get connection to the syndicate forum or even donate to syndicate?

Yes, unforeseen side effect. We're working on getting that functionality back up in 30-60 minutes.

Thanks for the quick reply. Went away over Easter and thought I was going crazy.

[Mean joe]

Thanks for the heads up but it dosent help when you've got ten players stuck in our second syn that can't rejoin us for this sltq which was listed as a Ltq. Sounds like this server issue isn't the only problem going on in gree.

[CJ54]

Okay, functionality aside from people leaving or joining (which still has to remain locked for the time being) should be back up now.

[Thatkidyouknow]

So this could take what? 3 days?

[reticlover]

so what is wrong withe the servers? why the maintenance

[iteachem]

Not sure i undertand why you folks run a syndicate event with locked syndicates.. Just keeping us from booting players or filling slots. Seems like you should have passes on a syndicate event if they syndicates are locked

[LAM]

This is ridiculous. If the Syns are locked then stop the events untl servers are fixed and all have a chance to get their Syn set up and ready. I agree with locked syns during battles. Keeps it fair. If you have campers/freeloaders thats your fault for not booting before battes start. I dont complain about any fixes, maintenance, or updates but this just isnt right. First time ever i havnt wanted to play.

[Marine007]

When am I going to be able to boot or promote players in my syn? Something sinister is going on, why would server maintance lock players in syn or make it unable to promote? I agree they should of postponed the event to get rid of players that didn't pull their weight in last event. Now they can continue to freeload for more syn goal prizes

Estimated timeline?

[Winnson]

I think rajveermaan may be a bot, and don't recommend clicking those links.

Maybe get those you want out of your syndicate but can't boot yet to click them.

[RuckusXsuckuR]

Waaaahh D;

[Blowin Smoke]

When will they be unlocked?

[ohlo-00]

Just wait and then i'll make a place for active members: top400 849.528.387.
