Patch Rotation Discussion


Recommended Posts

Regarding this change, what approach do we want to take in terms of the Big 3 Raid rotation..?

 

1. Did we want to extend the week to that Saturday for the rotation to reset then??

2. Or switch on tuesday, and again on Saturday?

3. Or just keep rotating on tuesdays?

4. Other idea??

 

My preference for simplicity would be the first option, but we should all weigh in now so we have a plan. :)

 

Thanks!

Zackman said "The first "saturday patch" will be on 24th Aug. - therefore 27th Aug. will be the first tuesday w/o a patch,"

 

Senario 1:

 

So according to this the tuesday patch is on the 20th(tomorrow).

 

Then the server is rebooted again saturday the 24th.

 

We get this week as the rd base(BI) and saturday starts the new week at rotation, and we start again.

 

Senario 2:

 

Tuesday the 20th patch day is skipped and it's rebooted saturday the 24th.

 

Extend the current rotation till saturday when the server is rebooted, then switch weeks.

 

If we get lucky and have a long week yahoo if not shift happens and we suck it up and move on.

 

Senario 3:

 

Ignore tuesday the 20th's reboot and stick to the current week and start saturday. (BI troller currently)

 

Unless VGE and Static want to change the rotation again I'm easy either way it works out.

For the sake of simplicity, the consensus on our side of the fence is 100% in agreement with what Magoo and I stated above. The week of the switch, we will forgo the raid change on Tuesday, and continue with the current rotation through Saturday. -Which becomes the day of the next switch/rotation.

 

 

From there, we propose to begin the next rotation either the server restart, or 12:00PM, U.S. Eastern time in the event that there isn't a patch. This builds in some time for server/patch issues (being late, bugs), and is a good round number that is easy to remember.

 

Does this work for everyone?? Or do we have other ideas for consideration??

 

Thanks Zack for the heads up, and special thanks for the cooperation from BI and VGE for your input.

Note: Post edited to address the time of day for rotation switch.
