Monday's downtime

[Liwa]

Will Anniversary stuff be added in with Monday's downtime? On timers of course.

Or, will Anniversary stuff have to wait for a patch?

My guess is that this would be the anniversary patch and they enable it later on when the time comes.

It is maintenance. If they say its a patch, its a patch. Patch requires them uploading data to the servers and then you downloading when servers come online. Maintenance is maintenance.

Monday's downtime will be for a patch, not maintenance (no idea why the post says otherwise...that should be adjusted). It'll be adding in NPCs and loottable changes in preparation for the birthday events.

I understand that it's not your area of responsibility but have you heard any news about the anniversary subscription offers for new and old players etc?

Last I heard, we do plan to announce such things closer to the start of the birthday celebrations.

Thanks for the clarification Mich ...

I assume this patch on Monday will not be 18.7 ... with the new player area etc.?

Edit: NVM I see the downtime notice is already fixed ...

The Anarchy Online servers will come down for patch 18.6.5 on June 17th at 8.00am EDT /1200 UTC. The downtime is scheduled to last about 2 hours.

18.7 is the new game experience and the beta of the new engine .... well that was the old plan long time ago.

THanks for the information Michizure

Now to wait for any patch notes that might be released.
Have been missing PTR Notes for more than a month!

[WizMeister3000]

So when will the nomads come ingame?

[Liwa]

Yes, It would be very helpful to have some advance notice of when the Anniversary activities will start ... and ... how long they will last.

I am hoping someone thought of having the items that we turn into the Tinker drop from Many Many locations and sizes of nomads. Otherwise it will turn into a kill-stealing/camping event for high-lvl toons hunting their 250 items for themselves and alts to trade-in for a Nomad suit.

I'm really hoping the "old anniversary items" mentioned in the patch notes includes Nomad armor of varying QLs. The focus on TL7 and QL300 was disappointing last year...

This ^^

[Michizure]

Last year we were unable to cover Rubi-Ka with Nomads of varying QLs due to a technical limitation which no longer exists post-merge. Rubi-Ka will be dotted with nomads of varying levels, similar to years prior.

AO's birthday is on the 27th of June. We plan to kick things off then and keep them going for a couple weeks. Also, this is worth noting and checking out.

Tomorrow's downtime is for actual hardware maintenance, not a patch or anything.

Qft, it's going to be quite the show
