It just so happens the maint is during your play times. It sucks but what would you rather have...a broke game or one being fixed? At least you know SE is working and not sitting around eating cookies. SE can't appease everyone. I have never ran into maint problems thank goodness.
Really love the game, but your service forced me to quit.

11-19-2013, 11:14 PMLurkiosPlease, Tupsi... find me a single major MMO, just one, that does maintenance "a couple hours a night".Quote:

In my opinion, that could waited for the end of the week. The few dozen, or even hundred players affected by a mob that wont move in a dungeon most people can't access does not justify a 4 hour downtime for the entirety of a server itself. That could have waited for the end of the week.Quote:

"Put the shoe on the other foot" would be a huge mistake by SE which is why they changed it to the time frame they did because it was Noon-3PM (or later) PDT, which is smack in the middle of most people's primetime.Quote:

Nope, they either do it when it inconveniences the least amount of people (which is what they do) or they do it when it inconveniences most and satisfies the least amount (which is what you obviously want.)Quote:

You are defending SE for nothing, they are servicing a global community they really need to start actually thinking about what that means.Quote:

11-20-2013, 01:23 AMTupsiAh right, forgot this community will say you white knight unless you sympathize with everyone's situation. You're right, they should put it in everyone's prime time, no one will complain.Quote:

People forget that WoW, the god among god mmos, had a terrible launch plagued with server issues for months. That game is in good condition now, and has been for years, but it started as a steaming pile of server crap that rarely worked or let players log in. Then, Bliz made the same mistake with D3.
So, SE has had less than 3 months to get their stuff in line... they will get it fixed soon enough. The amount of patch content they have lined up and scheduled is enormous compared to other mmo games, so at least there is that. -
11-20-2013, 01:25 AMTupsiJP servers are split from NA/EU actually, so there's no actual "global" servers this go around, there's just no oceanic servers.Quote:
