Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
Well considering that EA has been labeled worst company of the year, second year in a row...
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2417600,00.asp
And now they are "laying off" large numbers of employees and closing down alot of their branch offices, including alot of customer support related positions...
http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/11/ea-layoffs/
I personally would not hold my breath on hearing anything back anytime soon, or expecting to see any real improvements to services currently provided.
Just saying...

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
I really hope that degraded game services wont be going hand-in-hand with these layoffs. As if the whole Blaze > BF3 system wasn't bad enough. Hopefully it'll even mean that they'll have more money to put toward more important things such as better services. A good start would be with Blaze as well as the allegedly needed servers to allow us Battlelog Battlefield players to have more than 100 friends.TacTicToe wrote:Well considering that EA has been labeled worst company of the year, second year in a row...

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
I wouldn't expect these layoffs to affect Blaze is anyway. Seriously, though who fires an IT guy(At least a good one)? With the way the world is going it purely doesn't make sense.
EA probably isn't short on cash, so it is unlikely these layoffs would affect their overall spending on certain services.

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
It's was posted in many websites at the time of the release of BF3 that EA was hurting for cash. That's why many blame the poor results of BF3 on the lack of proper financing of the project.

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
There we go again. I just about had all my servers full and BOOM! They all go dead again! NOT COOL!
Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
BC2 and BF3 had overall problems around 2pm PDT today. I don't have more information on what happened, but it could have been a Blaze+Plasma or PB issue. About 15-20% of clients were dropped, across all locations.

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
Blaze and Plasma normally have maintenance in the early morning hours on Tuesday (PDT). This was not an announced maintenance event.
In related news, BC2 will be having a scheduled maintenance tomorrow (4/16) between 5am UTC and 11:59am UTC, which corresponds to 10pm PDT on 4/15 through 4:59am PDT on 4/16. For part or all of this time, BFBC2 servers and clients will be offline.

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
Something terrible going on today. Servers are dropping many many multiple times and I can't even seed. Lame... Time to give up on Battlefield 3? Lost cause in having servers?

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
EA told us today that they found and believe they resolved a problem within Blaze that caused some of these recent drops.
Some other drops have been due to problems with NSPs and the ISP hosting Blaze (DDoS attacks, for instance), and these may continue. We also still believe that there is an in-game exploit of some sort which causes players to time out.

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
The change was specifically on their end for Blaze. I imagine we won't see any more patches with BF4 being around the corner :/jaythegreat1 wrote:Will it require a server patch?

I truly hope we do, though.

Re: Blaze & Player Dumps!
Hmm I wonder if a class action lawsuit from GSP's and server operators would light a fire under their butts?
