    I have not seen any news posts from Relic about it as of yet, might be addressing the problem with unranked games being counted as ranked. I guess we will find out soon enough.

    I guess we have to wait and see if any admins respond to this. As we can only speculate.

    Another example of limited official information.

    And other example of why we would all benefit from a stickied topic for regular updates from Relic/THQ about events like this as well as progress on bug fixes and enhancements.

    Well I for one am quite hopeful that this reboot will do some good. FYI: its scheduled for 11am PST, which corresponds to 7PM GMT - just in time for my after tea gaming session!

    That's what the online news system built into CoH is supposed to be for AFAIK, sadly they're not using it that much yet. I hope Buggo gets access to it, because then we'd have a ton of info there for folks to look at.

    I agree, far better use could be made of the Relic Online news section. I'd already PM'd Buggo to that effect.

    But in addition, there should be read-only stickied forum topic for Relic/THQ staff (and the moderator staff) to provide frequent and useful progress updates on fixes and ehancements.

    Yeah, they'll likely not provide that info though until it's actually confirmed as fixed and in the patch.

    They do post tidbits of what they know are bugs and what they acknowledge as problems, and I try to document a few of them in the tech support forums, but there is no central repository of info. I've been asking for stuff like that for 7 years.

    Server reboot in progress......

    edit: just logged back in - no patch. The leaderboards still start at 11. I'l report back more after a couple rounds.

    I'm actually the one making all the posts to the CoH News Section in the game (at least in the past 2 weeks since I got access to the tool)

    Right now, we're not planning to make announcements about what's going to be in the patch before we're sure about the changes.

    So what did this server restart do? Or is it just basic maintance?

    So you're the one I need to get laid with, if I want some speacial text to appear in news section. And now to the topic could you give the times in news in more european friendly format like in GMT? :/

    Well, I played a lot tonight and I can't say that I have noticed if anything has changed since the reboot.

    Most games went well, but there was one where everybody dropped and teh 4 people that I was playing with all got CTD with the bug submission form (why cant you say no?)

    Meh - I had hoped for more.

    I wondered about this...why does it start at 10/11 and not 1?

    We basically did some database management that will speed things up and reduce the how often users will see the connection problems dialog..

    Yeah, indeed I finally don't see "You have trouble connecting to Relic online" every 5 min.

    The server restart was for maintenance.
