Well Solaria is down thanks to gm he did invasion on Vega 4 and crashed a lot of people and even the ones that were not there suffered from after affects and bugs like infinite load and gun bug i also like to call the immortal enemy bug. really are Gms there to help players or just mess up the game for everyone.
Gms are they really there to help sometimes

i wouldn't call 100 avengers+ and 30-60+ of of other classes of mantis on Vega 4 a mini invasion maybe in your book yes it is mini but to everyone else it is lag and game freeze city. the gm was purposely trying to pod people with to many troops and also make it so no one could loot stuff. i have a top of line gaming comp and it still was screwing up that is why i left Vega 4 then later when i was farming some cry from rocketters i started having immortal bug plus my repair droids and afterburners were not working then when i went to orbit i got stuck in infinite load screen. even people that had settings on lowest were getting horrible lag and game freezes.
Now Hold On Just A Minute . . .
Okay, I am the last one anyone would expect to stick up for the GM's but I guess somehow common sense has to raise it's sorry head and look around for a minute.
Even if the GM did do as you suggest and gank up the server for a quick episode of kill the player by dropping gobs of mantis on Vega 4 . . . Do you really think his intent was to screw up the server? His intent may have been to make a few players scramble for cover before they were podded, but I doubt the intent was ever to send our server to bugsville.
Now, if this incident is the cause of the US server being reduced to a boat anchor somebody needs to fess up and tell all us poor unsuspecting players that such is the cause of our distress, as all of us are borderline suicidal with PG withdrawals from not being able to get on the server to play. And, there is the matter of the loss of not less than 8000 cry to failure of being able to play the CQ's registered by my clan, probable losses to every active player on the server due to restoration from backups may include crystals, blueprints, and more. If such is the case, and a GM was the one that caused the problem . . . Boy, I betcha he is catching it from all sides right about now. His boss is giving him the blues. His co-workers are suggesting he get a job on an assembly line that doesn't require use of his brain. And, players are nagging his ears off.
Regardless of the end result, I would suspect the GM guilty of trying to throw a little excitement our way. I would not suspect him of any intentional act to interrupt or hinder our game play. So, cut the GM's a little slack. They are usually quite helpful during their daily activities. And do not forget , most these guys are volunteers that accept the responsibility of the position while having to deal with people like me in their ear all the time.
And GM's, I'll forgive if this the cause, but SS better roll out the "crystal check book" because somebody needs to pay back the crystal loss suffered by my clan due to this incident. Not only were we uable to collect on the PG Birthday Cry Bonus, but we lost significant crystal to unplayed CQ's after payment of registration, and the subsequent Cry Bonuses we would have of enjoyed had we been able to perform the CQ's registered for. And, I don't want to hear Gamigo/SpliScreen Accounts double-talk . . . Pay us back our losses.

Akumajuri, if you are accusing GM's for the server crash due to invasion, I think you are parking on the wrong tree.
If you have some real accusation to do about any gm, I suggest you send a private message to their LGM or to Delloda, but if this isn't the case, you can't accuse the gm's for something like that.
GM's are not developers, gms doesn't create the instability in the servers.
They are also voluntarily giving their game time to keep all under control for to see that all is ok for the players.
They do these invasions for the pure pleasure to the players, and most times by request of players.
You know that this is the purpose of invasions right?
That is what is the fun, it's not supposed to be easy for anyone to loot stuff, but I doubt he did anything so no one could loot. Thats totally false. I wonder why only you are accusing the gm for this?
You are saying you have the top computer, that doesn't ensure you have the best graphic card, and all updated to the top for to play PG.
I suggest you to read this:

Well i only started to play this game on Tuesday of last week so i probably miss interpreted what the gm was doing most of the time when i have seen a gm or even talked to a gm in other mmorpg or just a mmo type game they did not spawn massive amounts of enemies like that they did help people and regulate but with this game the gms act diffrent then most gms other mmo type games. also it seems like gms are also more lax and don't have as much strict rules like in other mmo type games.
But...its like an Episode...Last event of "Invasion on Vega 4" the server crashed...now this time with the event on "Different Systems...like Antares, Vega, Gemini"...it crashed again... coincidence? i think not..what do you guys have to say about that? and dont say its our computer too...because what can you say about even people with high speed gaming computers experiencing it also...

Now hold on a second .... sure there was an invasion , but i dont the gm was trying to make you lose something.... i agree with the server crashing but i believe its the high load on the servers that are doing it.... the invasion is just like a drop of water falling into a cup full to the brim...
and invasions could be considered a part of the game... it adds a bit of focus to the game... if u dont like the idea of an invasion on the planet ur on... go to another planet.. the game doesnt revolve around you guys... there are other people who may like it

You got the point, players been here a year or almost a year, and those players actually expect the invasions and are happy when they are done.KnightDoom said:
Yes the amount of people taking part causes the lag, not the GM's.
I also agree, if someone doesn't like the invasions, just move on to another planet, we don't force anyone to come nor to take part.
Now this is the only thread what will remain open. I am going to start to give out warnings if even one thread is opened up more on this same issue.

kniight, this was not an ordinary invasion, those are normally smaller.kniight said:
The birthday event was in a bit bigger scale than any other invasion.
But I am sure, as the devs has already made us know, they will have a deep look into this,
and they will get any found issues what causes this fixed.
So please be patience with this, after all they are only human, like any of us. ^^ :mrorange:

After reading this whole thread, I would like to add to it now:
From a GM's point & aspect we have Invasions, Mini-Invasions & Events to make ALL you Pilots Happy & to break the Old routine of Grinding for Cry, Podding while doing a tough mission or just plain Podding the Noobs for fun.
We as GMs do not have these things to cause more problems for Players, the Game Hardware or the Game itself. What 99.9% of you dont realize is that many things can go wrong with computers. It may be a Network Switch or Router that goes bad. It may be that a Server was spec'd out to a builder but the builder installed a bad piece of Hardware and all worked fine on the Test Bench but under a Massive Load (like we give it here in PG during Invasions & Events) that little piece of Hardware suddenly fails due to the Load.
Network Switches can also fail due to load as can Network Routers. This Type of Hardware is not Cheap & therefore is not Regularly replaced unless there is a extreme reason for it. Servers However are a lot cheaper & a PC is much cheaper than a server,
Sure you may say you have the Ultimate Gaming PC that can be Built, But I will bet you that you don't, Most people overlook a very common component in a PC these days & that is the NIC (Network Interface Card). This is what helps to control the Bandwidth of your Network access to your ISP. Most PC NICs are only 10/100 meaning they either stream data at 10 Mbps or 100Mbps (Mbps = Megabits per second). Then you have your Negotiation (Handshake) to think about. This is the setting that tells the NIC whether to send/receive at same time (Full Duplex) wait to send/Receive (half Duplex) or Auto-Negotiate. If your NIC is set wrong or Auto is misinterpreting what is seeing this will cause lag &/or Network Issues on the PC End (Even if all other Network/Web activity seems fine)
Servers on the other Hand are much different than a PC. They may have Multiple NICs or even a Fiber Optic Adapter in them. They also have anywhere from 1 to 32 Multi-Core Processors and from 16 Gb (GigaByte) ~ to as much as 256 Gb Ram. Servers are also load balanced by the OS (Operating System) installed. I will not go into a lot of details on Servers. Servers, Unlike PCs do not usually reside on or near a Desk. They reside usually in a Rack in a Separate Room or in a DC Environment with Hundreds or even Thousands of other Servers, Network Switches, Routers & Miles (Km) of cables. Usually if something fails it is not on the end of the server (Unless an SA (Server Administrator) has messed up something), but rather a DC (Data Center) or BR (Back Room) Issue.
Bottom Line is this: Before you go blaming a GM for causing a Server Crash, Think for a moment on EVERYTHING that is involved in deliver this Great Game of Pirate Galaxy to You. YES!!!!! GM's are here to HELP, All you need to do is Ask
