General

Ah! Thanks for letting us know!

Oh - and one thing that wasn't in the release notes... we bumped up the Design Portal session timeout -- so if you go away from the portal and come back to it later -- there's a better chance that you can pick up from where you left off (instead of being booted and having to re-login).

And... the upgrade is complete.

Hopefully a non-event for everyone!

Reach out to support if you see any weirdness!

Cheers,

Paul.

My view is that there should be a "guaranteed service availability" at the time of purchase not unlike buying an appliance with a year warranty..

Pull the game from stores and let the remaining players enjoy the sunset.
Of course it's not always as simple as "just keep the lights on longer" but a guaranteed period of availability which is tied to new purchases should be in your plans before your service ever reaches the public, rather than hoping to grab as much money as possible before dumping it and throwing the consumer under the bus.

Please refer to the article -- Implementing Continuous Lobbies in the brainCloud Help Center for details.

@JasonL
Yes we can do that too, I was just wondering how granular our control over the segment is, as one of the requirements for our testing was to have a precise number of users for each group.

Thank you so much for the info, I'll write again if I have more questions.

Just a heads-up, our team is working on this bulk userItem feature.

@JasonL @Paul-Winterhalder Thanks for your help, the error no longer appears after the Google Android platform was enabled.

@devsleeper - we hope you like it! 🙂

HI @richard - we're currently working on a feature that will handle this directly for brainCloud 5.9.

In the meantime, an interim approach would be to:

Manage the Lives in a virtual currency. In the item catalog - you can indicate the currencies to award from the offer via the extra data JSON. And create a post-hook on PurchaseUserItem - calling a script to award the appropriate currencies - and immediately consume the new "item" that was purchased...

Just a thought...

[But yeah - we're going to have a more direct solution in 5.9 - which is currently targeted for November release.]

Paul.
