Maintenance down time

[Caesar815]

Does anyone know how long this maintenance takes this time? I think once, again as iOS user, we’ll have to wait much longer to continue playing the game than the others... hopefully I’m wrong. Is powerslave dungeon imbedded or why are we having 3h downtime in the meanwhile? It can’t be just a regular update to fix bugs. There’s more to come with it I believe 🧐.

Horns up 🤘🏻

Android here and also still in maintenance. The red info text said it would be a server restart, but this rather seems to be an update (or the server exploded).
As the skull quest event runs out at rollover (I think), a new event could in fact start. Let's wait and see! Unfortunately it's getting late in Europe already.

Whenever this happens it's just nap time for the hamsters powering the servers.

New bugs need some time. Not easy to hide them into code ;-)

It is THAT time...

Time to replace the hamster...

Update is live on Android!

[Yup]

Its ALWAYS 6-8hrs minimum for iOS... if not 24+ like a couple times if there's an app version update and it's not merely "maintenance". Thing that gets me is they've proven they don't necessarily need to "lock out" players. But some bugs may appear if you don't update. So why not wait until things have propagated THEN force the update? Similar to the "new game data" screen which forces a restart.

Yeah - as usual. What I expected.

Powerslave seems to be online. And the clan chat feature to some extend - at least you can mute members. I got screenshots by clan members with Android on clan discord 🤘🏻

Sure am glad I used one of them snow keys before going to work. 2 hours after using it I see that “thou art doomed” banner. Ah well.... boss is happy with my productivity today...

That last statement reminded me of the lyrics from "The Police-Synchronicity 2."

"Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away, something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache

Many miles away, there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore, of a dark Scottish lake"
