We are preparing a new PC hotfix for tomorrow (Friday, March 13) which includes a priority fix for Meltdown Alerts (reverting certs/ISO-4 rewards) along with additional fixes and changes.
This will require a server bounce (brief downtime) starting at 6:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM GMT. Servers should be down no longer than 1 hour.
Patch Notes:
- VS Flash can equip cosmetics once again.
- Outfit resource accrual now updates correctly an owned facility is lost.
- Meltdown alerts once again grant 250 certs and 300 ISO-4 for a victory, and will grant 150 certs and 150 ISO-4 for a loss.
- UPDATE: VS will receive no A7 for a loss or runner-up in a Meltdown alert. We're currently looking into this issue. (Fight hard, VS!)
- Mini-map no longer resets its default zoom level when a menu screen is opened.
- Updated LB00 AP (Lightning Primary Weapon) optic attachment prices to be in line with that of other Lightning optics.
A PC hotfix is scheduled to go out this afternoon (~4:30PM PDT) with fixes for the Escalation game update. This is client-only and will include a small download, but won't require server downtime or impact gameplay.
Patch Notes:
- Send Message now functions as intended and no longer brings up the Notifications window.
- Sanctuary now has the proper art on the World Map screen.
- Fixed broken text strings for the LA7 Buzzard.
- Fixed two new crashes occurring on Live.
Global PC servers will come down tomorrow, Wednesday March 11, 2020, at the following times:
EU: 4am GMT (est. 16 hr downtime)
NA/Asia: 9am PDT (est. 4 hr downtime)

| " "Our worship has afforded us this opportunity," stated an elderly voice, more akin to that of cold metal than a human being. "Yes Prefect, the next wormhole will open in less than eight hours. We have assembled our forces and are ready for the journey," replied Acolyte Joselin with youthful exuberance. Prefect Armus remained unmoved, as if alone in his thoughts, "A chance to prove ourselves among they who seed the stars. We will put the squabbles of Auraxis behind us, and the future of humanity ahead." " |

We're continuing to gather community feedback, make improvements and fixes, and add additional polish to each major feature, which should be reflected in the large update we're pushing today to the the Test Server.

Hey everyone,
I want to apologize to our PS4 community for the lack of notice for today's extended downtime (related to the database migration we performed on PC a few weeks ago - same patch, hence the longer than normal downtimes). Servers came down extra early, at 4:30 AM PST, and we're hoping to have them back up by 2:30 PM PST. I'll update this post as soon as that happens.
Normally, we'd try to inform you AT LEAST 24 hours in advance, especially for a long downtime like this one, but I dropped the ball on this one. I wanted to let you guys know this wasn't the Dev's team fault, and it certainly isn't because we don't want to be transparent with our PS4 community. It was just a simple miscommunication, and it falls on me to be better going forward.
Stay tuned for an update this afternoon as soon as servers are back up.

Sharing an update from Rogue Planet Head and PlanetSide 2 Executive Producer Andy Sites about the extended downtime / hardware server upgrade that was performed on Tuesday, January 28:
From Andy:
Wanted to provide some details/transparency on the PlanetSide 2 server hardware upgrades we performed during our database maintenance yesterday. The tech ops team was able to complete the switch-over to the new hardware in all regions EXCEPT Emerald (US East). The logistics for the hardware upgrade in the data center that Emerald is housed in on the US East Coast is a bit more intensive. So we were not able to do it yesterday. I'm speaking with the Daybreak tech ops team this morning to get a handle on the timing of when it will be done. Once we have a confirmed date/time, we will share it. The plan would be to have it coincide with a regular game update, so it shouldn't cause any unnecessary extended down time once ready. We have been getting some positive feedback on the server perf for th...

All PC servers will be offline on Tuesday, January 28 starting at 4:30 AM PST (12:30 PM GMT) for extended maintenance to complete a one-time data migration and provide needed upgrades to our server hardware in NA and EU. Downtime is expected to last up to 12 hours.
While servers are down, we are also publishing a small bug fix patch that should resolve the following issues on PC live servers:
- Fixed a bug that caused footstep audio to get stuck playing.
- Empire Strength now properly triggers Meltdown Alerts for VS on Indar.
- Warpgates should no longer incorrectly get stuck in an unstable state.
