STO and ARC Downtime On October, 13th 2015

For those that don't know yet, a headsup about October 13 (next Tuesday):
Arc is going to "implement critical network improvements", which means that everything that is Arc, including all their games and probably also their website. is going offline.

Their estimation is that the downtime will be from 6AM PDT to 7PM PDT. That is 2PM to 3AM British time. Yes, that's a downtime of 13 hours.
Hopefully it means that the servers will be more stable in the future and will be more secure against hackers and DDOS-attacks.

will there be free stuff for this

Sure!

It´s called free time. :D

Im all for this and support it.. if it is for extra security buffs.
I was on that night they hacked and took down STO more than a few times.
So im glad they are Thinking ahead to keep all our personal info secure etc.

Hey, what happened to ME? We could meet for a multiplayer session there! :)

do you know.. ive never played multiplayer! is it any good?... id miss the story lines.

Im currently playing the DLC "citadel" going to get "Omega" when i get a bit of money.
i love the bitchy Aria (the Asari club owner)





You should play Dragon Age 1, 2 & 3 next, if you loved mass effect.. its the exact same thing.. but your in middle earth type surroundings

I´ve played MP once... and I completely sucked, lol... But it´s pew pew pew fun, you just have to defeat a few waves of enemies, Shepard style.

And I´ll have to get the Citadel and Omega DLCs as well, so far I only have Shadowbroker for ME2.

And yes, Aria rocks! Let´s just quote her: "Glad to see we think alike." :D


Edit: Before I´ll buy Dragon Age I have to finish Oblivion, then install Skyrim and then install AC Brotherhood (bought it and forgot about it, lol). So I´ll be busy for the next few weeks/months.^^

Those are all great games. Forget weeks or months, you have your hands full for the next couple of years. Also, mods FTW!: http://www.nexusmods.com/games/? :p
But don't use mods on your first playthrough. I have noticed I enjoy mods a lot more if I play the game first without any mods and use them on my second playthrough :P

Back to topic! So, this server downtime.... :D


Thx for the link, Lars, that´s awesome! There´s a Doctor Who mod for GTA San Andreas! Lol!

And yeah, I also always play the "pure" game on my first walkthrough: no mods, no DLCs, no cheats.

Oh noes! I´m on PC! :(

That's fine, I'll be on SWTOR during the down time.

todays the day...

DUDNDDHYDDYUUDUDDNDDUDUDUDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

If anyone feels bored, I'll be streaming something on my Twitch during downtime. I'll probably start playing Oblivion, but I might also play something else entirely.

Lol, two idiots had the same idea!

I´ve also thought, that I could play Oblivion again and proceed with the story (without the streaming part^^).

A. :)

I'll just end up playing some ME3 Star wars battlefront or warframe, if anyone wants to join me they can xD
