They have opened a lot of people's eyes.
The big looser will be gree/deca
Wasn't there an initial training period where Gree taught Deca everything they knew about operating the game so that there would be a smooth transition? Seems to have worked perfectly.Quote:

When the Amazon servers came back online after their scheduled maintenance, all of our config files were *poof* gone... they're having to rewrite and reload everythingQuote:

Perhaps Deca will learn
Commodore 64, Timex, Pet, the 1st Apple Mac; those were heady days in computing.Thanks for jogging my old noggin.Quote:

My thoughts exactly. I am so neurotic that I have 7 external hard drives as backups for my photos. PHOTOS!Quote:

Pmsl... Are Amazon really to blame.....
Amazon is not to blame. It falls on the incompetence of gree/deca
Gree/Deca are using amazon as a scapegoat. I’m not sure how many players actually believe it is all on amazon.
The same problems are occurring day in and day out nothing is changing from on test event to the next.
Game is still screwed up.
I can't blame anybody for being critical... somebody is to blame, but I don't know enough to point fingers. IMHO, excuses only work for the one making them.
That is what we were told, just passing it along. I don't even know what a config file is; I would guess it configures something.
All I know is the game is broken, they are trying to fix it, and it feels like it's at a glacial pace to us players....
but hoping for the best.......
*sighs*

Some Texans may be straight shooters... But not that one... Have to ask yourself "Why do you think she was kicked out of the player rep rooms (for MW)??"
Most already know, but I don’t think it’s worth anything right now.Quote:

I run a tiny internet business, my sites and data are automatically backed up every 12 hours online and daily / weekly offline, backups are stored in multiple locations - someones not telling the truth lol.
I will confirm that once during server maintenance which normally takes 15mins - 2 hours - it was advised that the server had in fact been hacked and taken offline, this had all happened while I slept, I was told that two of our main sites had gone down for 15 minutes while one of the multiple backup servers was brought online and they fiddled with DNS settings etc, the hosting company had handled everything and made all necessary temporary fixes and supplied a mini list of required changes to the settings which maybe took an hour,
My point is that was a huge attack on my hosting companies server, and I was down maybe 15 mins, I can choose to restore with 12-hour backups going back for years, let's be honest we know Gree has backups because they have rolled back the game on quite a few occasions.
@Dewin - Commodore 64? Let's hear it for the ZX 81 Spectrum! That's real power, and you can't beat a little Jet Set Willy!
Anyway, I'm just a clown! And still, I have a backup lol.
It blows the mind that it’s not backed up. I have the pictures on my phone backed up. It’s been a good game ran by a poor company.
