PSN Maintenance US March 1st

[Menown]

Thursday, March 1st. Maintenance is expected to start at just after 8:00 am Pacific and will last for several hours, until approximately 10pm Pacific. Unlike typical maintenance events, consumers who are already signed-in to PSN will be signed-out, and consumers will be unable to sign in for the duration of the maintenance window. During this time, users won’t be able to access the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, Account Management or play online.

This might require some planning to keep your 200%, just thought I'd let people know.

I put US, as I'm not sure if it is global.

Thanks for the notice

 

[McClarenDesign]

This is a good sign.

 

[amar212]

Good sign, I agree.

Still nothing on official webs, but if true maybe 2.06 is less than a day away.

 

[Menown]

I bet it is just for more Vita support from PSN rather than anything to do with GT5, but it is a large chunk of time we can't log in to keep that 200% we all so love

 

[GTPorsche]

Probably better suited for the console board and not GT5.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah if it's PSN maintenance, then it doesn't have anything to do with GT5.

 

[Menown]

It does if you can't sign in to GT5 and lose your 200% because you don't ever check the console board

But if a mod wants to move it, go right ahead.

Seems to be global http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/02/28/scheduled-playstation-network-maintenance-on-thursday/

It won't be a big deal if you loose your 200% for 1 day.

 

[SnakeEyes427]

+1 👍

That was a response to the posts above mine talking about 2.06.

How? You need to be logged in to PSN and GT5 servers in order to claim your bonus. If you can't log in to PSN (due to maintainence) then you can't log in to GT5 servers and therefore you cannot your sign in bonus.

Oh, and thanks for the heads-up by the way.

That's why he's giving us a heads up, so we can log in and get our bonus before it goes down.

I believe the same too, plus 2 more things.
One, that has something to do with the change from PSN to SEN (Sony Entertainment Network) and maybe eventually the rest of the world will be able to have the features/Media that the US PSN has...and Two, after the PSN outage last year, sony has taken PSN's security seriously.

 

[Menown]

Just looking out for my fellow GTPers. Sucks to lose that 200% even if it is for just one day. I thought I could help avoid it.

 

[frenzal]

No issue with the bonus, as you get it for two days straight anyways...if you lose a day you only go back to the '9' which leaves you on the 200% still.

 

[another_jakhole]

^^ I think it goes back to 110% sometimes. It happened to me a couple weeks ago, but it's only happened once before that. I don't know if it's a bug.

👍 Even though I was going to try signing in today, now I'm going to have to find a way.

You will not lose the 200% bonus. It goes like this

day 1: 110%
Day 2: 130%
Day 3: 150%
Day 4: 170%
Day 5: 200%
Skip a day: 170%
Next Day: 200%

 

[mvpers]

day 1: 110%
Day 2: 130%
Day 3: 150%
Day 4: 170%
Day 5: 200%
Skip a day: 170%
Next Day: 200%

umm,yeah, the skip a day 170% is the "losing" of 200%, as you stated above.

 

[Ross]

But you will still have the 200% the next day is what I'm trying to get at

 

[Menown]

Yeah, you are right, but you still can't race online, or do seasonals, or send/receive gifts, or buy from the OCD, do remote b-specing, and it will tell you, you aren't logged in every 5 seconds, but other than that the 14 hour outage will have no impact on GT5 whatsoever

 

[Ross]

and it will tell you, you aren't logged in every 5 seconds,

This will be the most annoying part for me.

 

[Menown]

Actually it might not as you aren't signed into PSN, so it might leave us alone. Fingers crossed

 

[FlyinHawaiian77]

Just to be clear. This is PSN right? Nothing to do with GT5 as far as maintenance? Was gonna give Kaz a virtual high five for staying on top of things.

 

[Villain]

They're prepping for MLB 12: The Show awesomeness next week! Gird your loins boys and girls!

 

[Darren.]

The most disturbing part is that it kicks you out when maintenance starts.

 

[Patrick]

Exactly! 👍

 

[Sanji Himura]

I don't really care. I still have PSOne Classics to finish anyways, so my day is booked.

 

[BWX]

So again- maintenance when seasonals come out so you can't play them.
