WHAM PLEASE READ! MM is currently fubared..(UPDATE, THINGS SEEM OK NOW)

So apparently if you log in now, you run the chance of being put into the Over flow server. Yes the same one that prevented me from playing with other people for almost a week and set your rank (temporarily until you gt was freed from H4 limbo) to SR!

The playlists are limited and small populations. 

 

So part of the reason I am posting this is to find out what we are supposed to do if we have not done our 2o2p vs. the world matches?

 

For those of you willing to roll the dice you might want to try and log in on a twink tag if you have one, just in case. The length of stay in limbo (in the past) has been anywhere from a few minutes to over 7 days. You cannot team up with friends, basically you will drop from the room when trying. You can play MM, but with randoms all the time and they are not the current playlists.

 

Now will this happen to everyone, I have no idea, but after being trapped for almost a week last time I am not willing to find out.

 

Trying to reset the router, modem, restarting, unplugging, etc. does not work. If you get trapped you just have to wait until you magically get released.

I'm going to swe where everyone stands & how this might affect the tournament.

I believe only one team was to play tonight.

 

if anyone can play on another tag as a remedy, I'll accept the games.

I will still be using stats from the tag you signed up with.

 

if the problem continues through the weekend, I'll have to make a rulling then.

I wouldn't run my games while the temporary playlist are in effect. It's just asking for failure. The playlist settings and maps are not the same.

I'm a bit confused, what is causing this? a bug? or does this mean there are more people on then they can handle?

Background. When something goes wrong with the XBLive AZURE servers, Halo is affected. Sometimes MM is moved to the backup servers. Trouble is the backup servers have the release day playlists and maps. This affects the tournament results.

It may be temporary but it is really BIG at the moment.

^^^^^ This and the additional possible issue is sometimes when people get put into this over flow server, they get trapped. Length of being trapped is completely random.

 

I also agree with Deep, it is not worth trying to see if you are effected. JUST STAY OUT PEOPLE!! lol.

the scores can't be affected.

if you can party up with your team, you'll be playing the correct games.

 

if you don't have the correct games, then you won't be able to party up with teammates either.

Even with that, I wouldn't be sure these stats get saved properly. I thought I read that some things have to be redone if accomplished on the backup servers. I'm not sure though. I wouldn't play the games until the proper servers are working.

I was already trapped in limbo land while playing campaign this afternoon.  Hope this doesn't last too long.

Edit:  Waypoint is tweeting about the issues.  Xbox.com has service alerts about it but no resolution yet.

last time i was there for a short while.

this time is weird because is so wide spread. i don't see anyone that's playing on the regular servers.

we got so many new players from the wsj article we broke stuff.

at least i have friends  in limbo with me this time.

Things are back to normal this morning.  Just signed on and my SR rank is back, Spartan Ops is available, and all the current playlists are up.

I knew powering down, kicking it, and powering back up would work!
