More downtime? More maintenance?

Wah. I hope someone benefits. I booked today off work xD

What are you, 5? It's 4 hours. 0.5 percent of the month. Go do something else.

Someone got out of the wrong side of bed xD I went and touched grass, and servers are up now so wah [lots of lala noises]

Tbf, we literally just had a maintenance a couple of days ago.

small indie developer Idk though it's better that they take the servers down for maint then if they leave them up and we lose play time or our characters xD

There's ALWAYS a hotfix following a content patch, use that knowledge to plan your S ranks hunts windows

Maintenance times are what they are because for two reasons:

1. It's standard business hours in Tokyo, being 3pm at the time the game went offline
2. EST is the most densely populated time zone, thus impacting the least amount of players. It's also generally okay for PST as 11pm is usually bedtime for most on a Tuesday.

While it can be a little frustrating for EU, it's still early morning on a weekday, which is likely to impact people the least. So... deal with it?

3. You can go too another MMO if you don't like the times. But you will run into the same issue and be just as inconvenienced. :D

Wasn't today's patch like 30MB? Bit extra to say you couldn't play the game all day.

Edit: you must be talking about the maintenance window. Which was a couple of hours on a workday morning, no offense to the jobless, it's not worth using an exclamation mark over

Maintenance in virtually all games is at that time because it's statistically the time when least people play around the world, so it inconveniences the least possible number of players. Almost the only people you see online at that time are either from OCE or they don't sleep at normal sleep hours. So I agree with the choice of time.

As for the emergency maintenance, obviously their QA missed things again. It seems to me like the most urgent issue was probably the one where someone outside of Forked Tower could trigger a mechanic inside of Forked Tower.
