    Why it has ALWAYS to be like that...

    Well, I excepted with grief that server-maintaince for updates are always in EU prime time for some reason I don't understand, but these follow-up mains are really the worst.

    In EU prime time too, they always are on my LS' event time...

    But I think its just JP Players >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> EU, NA & Others

    Do you guys actually TEST your patches? Always seems you throw a patch on the servers and hope it will work. Is that how things should be programmed/updated?
    Its always the same: Patch -> emergency patch I -> emergency patch II -> -> emergency patch III....

    Honestly when was the last bigger patch without follow-up? And all you get is "Sorry here, sorry there". Its really getting old.

    But its always my time for play that gets busted...

    Probably has nothing to do with playtimes and more to do with when it's cheaper to pay the staff to do the work.

    You could always move out of EU? Really, that is probably going to be the most logical answer you are going to get from SE. They don't run on your time, nor does your time honestly matter to them to begin with. You are 12.95$ (EU) plus whatever else you may pay for. This is part of business, if you don't like it, take your business elsewhere. Sorry it seems harsh, but the truth of the matter is harsh.

    Well, the maintenance is always going to interfere with someone's schedule somewhere in the world, I just imagine that they always pick the same time to do maintenance for dev's work schedule? lol

    But yeah I agree... it seems there's ALWAYS an emergency maintenance anymore.

    I pay for it yea and thats the point. Sorry, but I coding myself a bit and I know that THIS is not the way an update should be. I almost feel missused as BETA-tester for these so-called-updates. I wouldn't mind it, if it is on some patches. It is like that, 100% bug free is impossible, I pretty much know that, but its 100% like this EVERY update...

    Is that how a "company" should treat their customers?
    Should things coded this way, you already expect another main?
    Is it really neccessary the these patches are always in EU prime time?

    NO*3

    And again, they do the patches @NIGHT. I assume so that ppl in Japan aren't effected. They will sleep, while EU players just can not play. So "They don't run on your time" is actually not a reason

    They run on what time is convenient for their companies' needs. As long as you are subscribed, you are running on their time. They are based in JP, which would most likely suggest that the JP downtime would be the best time to update their servers with the least amount of trouble. In this situation you learn that this is how it is done, you don't complain. You find something else to do with your time.

    Yea, sleepy-head SE devs doing patches... thats what I imagine bout this mess everytime

    And actually I need to find some time to play!!! But on these times they issue maintaince >,>

    But maybe it is the most convienient time for them, cause JP Players will besiege SE HQ with Forks and Torches otherwise.. who knows.. I would do xD

    I think the best part with these maintenances is that they always ruin the playtime for working EU members, and not working NA members (and of course, not sleeping JP members). So you just have to be in none of these categories to get away. Either be a EU and quit your job, be a JP and sleep or be a NA and get a job.
