Soulshots stop working at whole hours, always and not just me but all people confirm the same

[Anything]

Still happening, every whole hour soulshots turn off for 1 to 2 minutes.

Additional side effects: picked up items are not displayed, your unable to craft soulshots or any other item, you can't turn in quests or accept quests since this just throws a "generic" error of the action couldn't be completed.

Time when it happens:
00:00 am/pm
01:00 am/pm
02:00 am/pm
03:00 am/pm
04:00 am/pm
05:00 am/pm
06:00 am/pm
07:00 am/pm
08:00 am/pm
09:00 am/pm
10:00 am/pm
11:00 am/pm
12:00 am/pm

The problems are predictable to the exact second but already last for many months since the introduction of Kain von halter.

Also not a problem with my computer, i asked over 20 other people of which every single one confirms the exact same problem and it seems so far no one is unaffected.

Is there any update on this issue? It is very annoying as we need to remember to avoid difficult actions at even hours. A few days ago my party almost failed an instance, because it was a low dps group and the shots switched off at an even hour during BR at the final boss.

This have been happening for aslong as I can remember (7 years+), and its not only at :00, its also at :30.

LOL at the people complaining "its been happening since last week.."

So xx:00, xx:30.

i.e 15:30, 18:00, 12:30, 00:00, 5:30 and so on.

It also only lasts 30-60 seconds.

 

 

Server is doing some kind of backup every 30 minutes, this causes certain server functions to lag for a minute, if im not mistaken one of the staff confirmed this on the old forums, only new players remain & thus this "old info" is forgotten. lol. 5 years ago, noone complained & everyone knew exactly what was going on.

Logically I would assume it is doing a backup of player data, as inventory/warehouse/AH is the only thing that lags.

 

Way I see it, I'd rather have server lagging for half a minute every 30 minutes, than losing XXX if something messed up.
