ShadowWolf2k7 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Suggestion Name: forum for server outages Suggestion Description: a forum for when servers are going to be down Any example images: none avalible at this time Why should it be added?:I know this has been suggested before, and by myself at that. i was told that it would take time. but I still think that this should be added as either a forum or even a sub forum. it could explain why the server is taken off line, be it for maintance or for other reasons. it would help people understand what is going on when the only server someone can play on is not online.

Azuly Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I think it would be completely useless. You can check server outages on the website. It's waste of money and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlynsGaming Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 This would definitely decrease the amount of questions being asked - "when will the server be fix" +1 (Let me know of you meant something else. Stay happy and safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Baker Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well, I think that will be useless and as Vanellus said, waste of money as on this forum there's function when staff announces something and there's like warning everywhere about some changes like there was during Dark Night event. Also, about decreasing the amount of questions like when will server be fixed as Santa Claus said, that's work of Support, they should help people and answer to their questions.

I respect both your opinions, but still feel that they can put up a sub forum telling us why a server was taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper9518 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I think this would not be much needed, as it spends time and they will not tell you why it happened, however just wait for the Server to be active again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowWolf2k7 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 @Wolf_. when I play I can only play on 1 server for ATS and that is the US server. the reason I can not play on other servers is due to only 1 ISP which is a horrible ISP. the last time that the US server for ATS went down it was down for almost a month. there was no word as to why it was taken down. however there were a fair amount of people asking why it had been taken down with no answer, also people asking when it was going to be back up and the only response was just wait. when the EU servers for ETS goes down there is an uproar, but when the US ATS server goes down its an oh well to bad for you, or go play on the EU server. will this cost more money. no. will it cost time, only when a server is taken down. when the ETS servers ever go down, remember don't ask why it went down, don't look on the forums, just wait, maybe with in a month it will be back up.

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I can see your point, but maybe there's no need to create new sub-forums for this. The Server Status page could add a small note in case a server has to be taken offline for whatever reasons, with a brief explanation of the issue and the estimated time, if any, for its resolution. Something static to let people know what's going on and that it's being taken care of. Creating a forum or subforum would solve nothing, only people would flood it with "Any news?" "When will it be up?" Something like this (It's just an example, I have no idea about what is going on with the SA server or when/if it will come back online): Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfmpillow Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Thanks to everyone for their feedback. After reconsidering this suggestion, we have decided not to accept it. The reason for this is that the forums aren't needed for this, and the website could easily also show this as we now have announcements on there as well. Rejected. tfmpillow | Retired Team Member Rules | Recruitment | Support | Feedback | Meet the Team | Guides | Suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
