Armory - No Update Since 16-10/28-10

Profile updates have been turned off until the problem can be resolved. I'll advise as soon as I have more information about when they'll be re-enabled again.

To avoid more 'my profile hasn't updated, please fix!' posts, I'm going to lock the thread for a bit - I appreciate the reports, but we are aware that the profiles are not updating.

Heh, I answered you there too... at this rate we'll be cross posting forever! So I locked the thread ... :)

To quote myself, as silly as it seems:


Q u o t e:
Essentially the problem is this -

The Armory was updated earlier this week to add some of the features for 3.02. While that was happening, the profile updates were turned off.

When they were re-enabled, there was a huge amount of updates to be processed by the Armory server, and like many things here at Blizzard, they're handled in a queue system.

So we saw some people's profile update right away, or within an hour or two, and other people's profiles still haven't updated. What we're trying to see now is - are they not updating because the queue is still going through, or is there some sinister, nefarious plot behind it... well ok maybe not a plot, but some other technical issue that's not so obvious.

With regard to the updates, when you log out of the game, there is a comparison done that looks at your last update, and your current status and if there are changes, it prompts the Armory to reflect the changes. But this is only done on log-out. Usually any new changes are updated within an hour or two of the log-out.

Better to post twice, than be left out :)

And yes, I do something similar with my names - means my guild always knows it's MY alt :)

Hey Yorlia - I was just editing your post with my findings.

What's up with your paladin? Did you not end up respeccing her? She hasn't updated since August so I'm a bit concerned.

Cheers, thanks for letting me know that she wasn't logged in.

I'm levelling a lock and a warrior right now and I'm having so much fun on them that I haven't specced half my alts yet - its easy to let the time fly when you're having fun :)

Yes, as stated, we're looking into it. Closing the thread for now, as it seems people are just adding additional reports. Will reopen if we need more information.

Thanks :)

Alright, it seems that the problem should be resolved.

Profiles should update within 3-4 hours of logging out of the game (it may take longer than usual simply because there are lots of updates to process).

You could try reading all the blue posts in this thread to obtain some 'proper info'.

It seems that the profiles were disabled yesterday for some background maintenance.

After maintenance today, they should be enabled again, but you will once again need to log in and out of the game to force the update.


If, after maintenance, and logging in and out again, your Armory profile doesn't update after 3 hours, please post here.

Please do not post any more errors, unless you've taken those steps since maintenance today.

Thanks :)

Basically it seems that the realms disabled profile updates last maintenance. Which is why you see most profiles stuck at 28/10.

We fixed this on Monday, but then the profiles were disabled again yesterday, which meant that most people didn't have time to log in and out while the window was open.

So in essence, I think only one person has posted here to say - hey my gear updated! - and everyone else is still stuck on 28/10.

I'm hoping that after today's maintenance everything is fine again.


PS - Hallow's End theme I think :)

As previously stated, please log in and out after today's maintenance, and then wait 3 hours.

Until you've done that, you will not see any improvement to the Armory's data.


If you have already done that and you still are not seeing any improvements, then post.

Thanks Terlan - good to see it worked this time :)

To the best of my knowledge the guild bank contents and log are not being updated correctly at this time. If I were you I'd rely on the in-game information.

You may see some improvement after the the guildleader has also had their armory profile updated... but I'm not sure to what extent this would help.

Q u o t e:
Hi Blizz :)

I dont understand whats going on=, i have placed a couple of posts and it seems they get deleted......

my two chars have not updated properly even though the armory says it has.

Dragonstrm has had new enchants and peiece of feet armor but has not updated
Dragonflight has got enchanting profession of 80+ but it is at 1 in the armory

It would be great to have these updated as the armory is a great way to keep looking for upgrades.

I have looked on the armory and it does not seem to have updated even after this mornings maintenace

thanks


I do tend to delete things if its clear people are not reading what I write :)

Have you logged into, and out of, the game on that character since maintenance, and has it been more than three hours since you did so?

Anichtar, next time you log out, remove a piece of equipment and then type ./camp. Wait for character screen.

If that doesn't force an update within 3 hours, please let me know. 15/10 is a bit scary.

Good morning :)

Seems like there are some issues with a number of applications this morning, including the Armory. The Network team is working at this time to resolve all of these issues, and I'll let you know as soon as I have an update.

Profle updates have been re-enabled. Please log into, and then out of the game, and then advise if your profile is still not updating.

Thanks for your patience :)

Should be corrected now. Please try to log in, then out through the [escape] menu, and let me know if your profile does not update.

Thanks :)

Tested this with one of my characters, and with a colleagues - both updated within a few minutes.

Fingers crossed!

Items can take a few days to be added to the database, as they must first be discovered by players, then updates.

I have good news for you Erradicator :)

We actually fixed the profiles for your realm about 30 minutes ago and the next time you log out, your profile should update.

Please let me know if not and we'll look again :)
