Server down?

Just got booted with a "failed to connect to the server" message, but there was no update warning message - did the server suddenly poof?

Same here, my guildmate and I were about to do another Jelly King run when it just disconnected us, and we can't connect back.
Bloody gremlin engineers!
EDIT: Looks like it's an update?

I bet some problem was found that required immediate fixing, hence the patch a day early with no warning booting us from our boss run right before we got the loot after we did all the work.

Seems like they issued an update without any notes or in-game warning? I'd guess either a mistaken in missing to let the players know or, since it's not wednesday, something very critical had to be fixed.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Magmatic Valkyrie Wings that Aphrodite spoke of.

Yeah, the magmatics were fixed. I wonder why there was no warning message, though.

Another update on the way, this one warning us in advance - 1 minute in advance, that is. Alrighty then.

Sorry, knights! We've had some technical issues. There is indeed an update incoming with a fix for the Magmatic Valkyrie Wings.

Bloody hell.....

Can we use the new wings to fly back into any shadow lair runs that got busted? ;P (no, I was not in a shadow lair myself)

I have to say, those are some very ugly re skins, I think those people dig it for the feathers are now going to be pissed. Fix one mistake, creating ten more in the process *typical OOO* .

If you know someone who was in a shadow lair during the reboot, please have them contact support. Thanks!

This fix was quite necessary. OOO seems to be taking care of this mistake in relation to "I bought this because I thought it was X (having had the blessings of RNG grace me or traded another player) and now it's not what I intended to have paid for" very well. Now, whether or not the item itself - unrelated to player inventory - is better or worse, that's just opinion, not more mistakes.
I personally don't know anyone who was in a shadow lair. Just crossed my mind! But if a friend complains later, I certainly will let them know.

Yeah so, funny thing, it may seem like I'm coming on the forums because my current workload is dreadfully small, but what I was totally doing was walking over to the the boxes after fighting darkfire vanaduke. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yup. Totally was logged in doing that. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I was doing the heart of ice mission and had spent 10 sparks to rev myself and was about to fight boss when the random no connection to server happened. And i thought it was my fault thinking my internet disconnected, and now found out it was a surprise update. ARGHHHH, sigh.....Just my luck i guess.

I wonder if the suprise update also fixed a bug i reported yesterday about shield bash not affecting royal minies in JK? Probably not since that'll probably take a bit to code

Likely not because that's been a problem since shield bash was added.
Royal minis are just weird in how they work, they aren't affected by dark retribution orbs either.
I think it was supposed to be a patch, I got kicked too but didn't get a warning.
Now I'm updating.....
