Emergency Maintenance Explanation?

In order for the word “emergency” to be used, someone or people who work at Blizzard have noticed something to cause that particular word to be thrown out. It’s not exactly common for Blizzard to throw that word out in the open and shut servers down instantly unless it was something worth doing it for.

Which is why I was simply inquiring what they saw.

Do I expect a response? No.

But it never hurts to ask when they have time to reply what the cause may or is for the sudden shutdowns.

“But who?”

(Realizing what I have been saying about Elemental Shaman on a few threads)

“Oh no.”

the usual massive patch bugs/glitches so severe they have to sever the server connection several times

They are doing it because I did not get the Tusks of Mannoroth for the millionth time so they will be resetting my lockout to try again.

Now would be a good time to take a nap…

Hope it is a fix indeed!

I saved my UI setup, but when I portaled into Stormwind from Boralus, everything was smooshed together. Neither reloading the UI from the saved profile nor importing helped. Thankfully I was able to fix it, and it’s taking less time each time I have to fix it. My inner cynic wonders if this is Blizzard’s way of training players to use the UI customization.

Somewhere in this train of thought you went from goats to bulls.

Were you hungry?

nearly any explanation would do…
it could be terse…we’d accept it
as we have always done.
most of us are loyal to the game…
i started mid vanilla…and i’m still
waiting around with several active
battlenet sub-accounts…
it’s easy to be polite…and awkward to be rude.

I’m always hungry tbh.

Well, the UI editor is trash, so that’s one reason.

Agreed, was thinking the same.

I kind of agree, Kal…
Maybe they’ll work that out…
I never lose hope.

probably fixing the fact that as an undergeared blood dk I can ignore all mechanics again and just tank and spank anything I want solo

So, anyone want to take bets on how long the servers will be down? Blizz says one hour.

I’ll say…two hours.

When you saved your UI set up were you asked to give it a name? I’ve been on 10 of my toons with one standard set up for all of them and haven’t had any issues.

The problem isn’t the idea of a new UI. The problem is the new UI is implemented in a… to be polite… incomplete way.

Can’t move or resize XP bar;
Can’t resize minimap;
Can’t move or resize command buttons in lower-right;
Button to resize chat window is not easily found;
Glitch occurring where the game will “forget” UI setups when some players log out;

There are more issues, but hopefully you get the point. The current “updated” UI is Beta-grade, at best, and really should have received a lot more attention and polishing, before being pushed out to the retail realms.
