Hey there devs and forum users!
I'd like to get an idea of how a VU/patch day looks like @ MA, more exactly in a sense of maybe how the actual VU goes from MA employee perspective;
example:
8 AM;
- everyone comes to the office, greets each other, they drink a quick coffee and go smoke one before the 9 AM pre-VU meeting, where they discuss the content of VU/patch and benefits of it for the game, what can go wrong and maybe go through backup plan A/plan B, if this or that goes wrong, then suddenly;
10 AM;
- the responsible team member makes sure server(?) is set up properly, to backup all data when it disconnects the clients and takes it down while the rest of the guys are trolling him because he is the only one that has to work during this time
10:15 AM;
- patch time! the guys that laughed a tad earlier, now have to work the guy they were trolling gets himself a cup of coffee and trolls everyone back - with a mug of hot joe in his hand
10:30 AM;
- boss wants an update on how the vu/patch is going and makes so that the text "What's taking you guys soo loooong! I wanna harvest some trees already, whatsup!?" gets displayed on every company wall tv that they have in the building.
10:35 AM;
- boss gets trolled back by receiving the "generic" reply from support, which the vu/patch leader had ordered them to send, saying that they are working on it and that they are sorry for the inconvenience etc...
10:45 AM;
- boss is checking the forum and constantly reopening the client server, has enough at this point and storms into the working place(?) where VU/patch is being done, only to be surprised by everyone because it's his birthday and then they have some cake, meanwhile the guy responsible for getting the server back online has to do his solo thing again so the tides turn once more
10:55 AM; The Game is up and running!!! Everyone quickly logs in to their accounts to see what will emerge from this VU/patch.
11:00 AM; Everything is working fine, everyone can relax, since its boss' birthday, a round of for everyone, everyone runs down to the bar
A happy VU/patch/birthday? day MA maybe you can write the most crazy VU/patch day story or someone with more insight on how these things are done can write the real version
Oh and since its patch day, happy patch day to all
