yo whats with these everyday maintenance tho?

The maintenance is a complete rollback of the servers to several years ago. They're changing the game back to version 1.0.

Please look backward to it.

its probally just a ninja nerf(when they nerf something without telling not the ninja class its weak enough as is lol)

Then Alexander's hotfixes last week, 1-2 days after Tuesday. That's about 4-5 maintenance, which is extremely generous and expected.

Disagree, "generous" would've been a PTR.

Now we get the game going down twice a week, I'm not inclined to think that SE is being generous sorry.

Ninja weak?? Pfft, get outta here xD

Let me prophesy that there will be a maintenance next week on Tuesday morning ~2AM EST which will include Alexander Savage. Then 1-2 days later there will be a maintenance for hotfixes.

Perhaps that was the problem.

The duty finder has its own server, that's why we can't (or at least shouldn't be able to) send tells to people in a duty. Because the DF server is shared by many servers in the same data center (example my server Carbuncle shares it with Atomos and Tonberry, etc), the duty server can get "full" thus reserving an instance might take a while.

Basically: too many people trying to get in Alexander.

Underrated post, like holy christ wow

The more maintenance that comes, the more it gives me hope that some day, 1 of these maintenance will include this line in it's update.

- Dark Knight's Darkside animation has been given it's black flames effect, and will now disable correctly through the settings window.

Perhaps some day, before I lose hope..

gotta really remember theirs a fair few games which has maintenance every day for a hr for example eve. then theres games which has maintenance 10hrs a week following major patches for a month for example wow.

also ffxiv maintenance normally says 4hrs but they mostly been finishing 1hr early. even if theirs 2 maintenance a week for couple weeks after a major expansion its still less then what most games have when they do maintenance each week if u divide there time over a couple days.

I've just come to the realisation that we have technically lost around 36 hours of subscription over the past 4 weeks.

If we get 2 maintenance next week (more than likely) then it will be just under 2 days.

Makes me kinda sad...

I know.

I keep hoping for - MCH animations no longer suck

Not paraphrasing either :P

I believe severs went down due to multiple Alexander exploits that allow you to skip sections by going out of bounds. people been using them all day to cheese the heck out of the raid. Or so someone posted elsewhere, Im not sure myself but if it was Alexander issues it would make sense to shut it down ASAP.

They really need to learn what "Hotfixes" really mean, other games with MORE subscribers have figured out how to push updates without shutting down the servers 2-3 times a week, SE needs to do the same.

Expect this again next week into the following week when "Alexander+" raid is added. As of now its either a recent hardware issue or Murphy's Law. I don't know what it is like on other MMO's but considering this is on PC, PS4, PS3, Mac. It would make sense that maintenance would take longer across multiple platforms and languages. Either that or the few remaining Mac clients are spreading the 1.0 infection back into the stable 2.0 ports. (Murphy's Law)
