Forums or Discord for main source of info?????

[LordAlbion]

Title says it all. Devs seem to prefer discord for latest info. Maybe task a mod with keeping OFFICIAL FORUM up to date with things??

I meant in general HoneyBuns. Since EA started, very little info from devs made it's way here. And that was mostly from Discord members copy/pasting info to this OFFICIAL FORUM.

The problem is that the downtime was not announced properly. In my opinion a downtime like this should be even scheduled and the players should be notified on before hand. That's the professional approach. Not "Let's take the servers down to install a patch and place a shitty post on discord.".
If there was a post here on the forum (and the other platforms too) which said "Later today at 5pm (EST) we are putting the servers offline to update the game. Expect the servers to be offline for a few hours." then everything was totally fine.

The devteam could have prepared this a bit better and @Rebus as community manager should have communicated (with your help perhaps) this with the playerbase properly.

I agree. We definitely dropped the ball on this and I apologize on behalf of the team.  In the future I'll make sure that announcements from Discord are also shared here.

server going offline to install a quick patch! (8 hours later...)

You get more information on Discord, which is a bit frustrating - But at least it's somewhere.

Hello everyone, unfortunately we have some bad news to share: the server will be down for longer than planned. We're very sorry about the current downtime. All of our hands are on deck to fix it as soon as possible!
