Cookie, give me some of your optimism please! They should have someone on staff for the servers at all times. =(

It's 7pm (EST), Monday is around next corner... my dreams for this weekend were shattered. And I'll never know what happened between the love triangle to which my Dwarfie Noble was the center. <Sigh>

But here; a cookie for you with sprinkled optimism! 

*munches* I feel it working already! Tasty optimism! Heh, this is like my 7th playthrough of the game - my first 6 were uhm... *cough* not legal. >.> So I bought the game with yummy content because I somehow lost all my save files, and I NEED my backround story for DA2. I played through it once already, and didn't like any of their preset backrounds =(
My toon needs to be QUEEN damnit!

Ok. I think the issues is that whomever could fix those servers doesn't work weekends. I bet things should be fixed tomorrow Monday.

I wouldn't think so, someone I know works for a company similar to this doing that sort of job, and he's on call 24/7, But it might be a reeeeaaaallllllyyyyy big problem, and then it could simply take days to fix.

You are right. The rant levels have subsided. Get angry people! RAWR! - Hehe, actually my hopes is for this thread to get up to 20 pages, so maybe they'll take seriously the issue. Then it'll still be too late.  This is going up to 72 hours now. And you know what that means? The Darkspawn have already wiped Ferelden in my world, and Sereda couldn't fulfill her destiny, OR see her relationship with Alistair and Leliana complete.

Hell, if they do this more than 2 more times, I'll end up being able ta get all the dlc w/o having ta drop 1 red cent out of my own pocket.

When life gives you lemons, you make margaritas!  For your sake, I hope it happens again.  But if it does, I will be telling everyone that it's all your fault and giving your address to whoever asks for it.  On a completely unrelated note, where do you live?

I can't stand mixed drinks or takillya, so I'll just sip my single malt. as to people visiting me to complain... bring them on, I could use the sword practice. I'm in Chino Valley Az.

Oh & I don't use the fake garbage SCA uses. all my blades are real w/ battle edges.

Better to practice with heavier wooden weapons before you go on to the real deal to be honest... Makes the real thing alot easier to handle.

So who else thinks that it'll be up after the server schedualed "downtime" on tuesday night/wednesday morning?

Soooo... I decided on Bioware Points... Whats everyone doing to fill up their time this weekend?

You want to know what I did this weekend?  I went to the Home and Garden show.  Sadly, I am being completely serious. That is what I did instead of playing DA.  A friend called up, bribed me with some free lunch and took me to the Home and Garden show.  I did, however, enter a draw to win a $10,000 hot tub.  So, maybe it will all be worth it and I'll be thaning BioWare later.  If that happens, you are welcome to come have margaritas and sit in my hot tub.

Sounds like it could have been fun... and I truely hope you get the hot tub! This thread could use a nice outcome! I myself, varied between sitting in front of my computer refreshing forums, watching my hubby play LoL and watching One Piece. Meh, could have been a worse weekend I guess. =)

This is my 3rd playthrough but I never finished the first two. For this one I definitely will, I love my current character. So I plan to finish it, along with all the DLC and Expansion before stepping into DA2. <Sigh> But who am I kidding, I can't even load the game file.

PS: I can proudly (Geekly) say that I have finished NWN1, ME1, ME2, KOTOR1. Then again, these are about the only games I play other than MMORPGs.

Yeah, but at my job if something breaks over the weekend I have to still fix it even though I don't work on the weekend.  This is affecting their customers they shouldn't just say well it's the weekend we will till Monday when Bob comes in to fix it.

This reminds me of the whole Y2K thing.  I was working for a bank in the QA department at the time and someone had to be physically in the same building as the servers "just in case".  Luckily, I had my first kid just a month and a half before and I was on mat leave at the time so I was not that person (but unluckyily, I was on mat leave at that time and still couldn't go out and party like it was 1999 one last time).  I mean, that's dedication, right?  To give up your turn of the melinium new year's eve?  Surely we are not asking too much for one person to go in on a weekend?  It's not even a long weekend.  Sigh...

Obviously, the servers which run the board are different than those that run the DLC... so one should not impact the other.  And if they're actually planning to improve the efficiency of the forums... I am all for that.

As to the DLC issue, I am resigned now to getting up tomorrow morning, seeing if it's fixed, and if not, changing the title of this thread to "Blackout MONDAY".

After that, I am going to get lazy (and pessimistic) and simply call it "Blackout April".

Maybe my characters will show up in my profile after this mess!

Yes, they do, and hopefully This issue will get resoved by tomorrow, but with how things are going I'm inclined to believe that 'we' may get put on the sidelines so that focus can be put on the forum servers - because, you know, according to the forums this problem still does not 'officially' exist. Sigh. I really, really hope you guys are right though and this will be resoved tomorrow.

Ooooh!  Sword talk!  I have a katana.  A wooden practise one and a real one.  I want more but there always seem to be other, less fun, ways my money needs to be spent.

[Havinis]

I was trying to avoid getting off subject with swords... It happens to me wwwwaaaayyyy too often in real life.

Anyhow, I guess all we can do is wait and see....

oh and fuzzybee... http://www.kultofathena.com/ if you're looking for weapons... It was recommended to me by a friend. There, hopefully I've killed the sword talk conversation before it gets out of hand

So nobody knows how to upload a custom portrait? Since my characters never seem to upload?

Yes, well I could do it later. Although the fact that none of my characters ever get uploaded (for a reason unknown to me) defeats it.

Profile Diagnistic is down so i guess it won't work right now

[Anniver]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread, and RaenImrahl especially for the helpful insights. Reading through this and a few of the related threads not only spared me a lot of headache but has provided some entertainment as well.

While the BW/EA Online Support has proven worthless by not even acknowledging the problem, at least it's nice to know the online community is taking care of its own!

Now if only the servers would come back online...My Leandra lost just her swords, but poor Alistair's naked down to his skivvies in the Deep Roads...which in other circumstances wouldn't be so bad, except for that ogre just around the corner...

Oh, I didn't mean during this Weekend crisis. I meant it has never uploaded for some reason.

Hi everyone --


Yeah, this is really unfortunate. I used to be a huge Bioware fan (I bought DA:O and Awakenings as standalones *and* Ultimate, for example). It really stinks that I thought I was paying for a single-player game, but a server outage is nuking my DLC. Stuff happens and that's understandable, but taking this long to get things fixed is pretty bad. My interest in playing (and, hence, paying for) either "The Old Republic" or "Mass Effect 3" has definitely been dinged by this experience. Come on, Bioware. You're better than this.

Admit it! This is like telling to yourself that you won't EVER call that girl that you loved which just dumped you! (You will totally call her once she gives you the chance!)

[Cthuloo]

 I must admit that I, as many others before me, have reached an entirely new level of pissed off. I was looking forward to a nice long DAO marathon this weekend, had tons of beverages and snacks ready. But now i can't connect to the servers and verify that my addons are indeed authorised.

A NICE HUGE BLUE POST ON THE TOPIC WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED (along with an apology).

p.s. if there has been a blue post, please do feel free to correct me.
