Maintenance times

I dont know about anyone else but these time frames for maintanance has massively interrupted my time of play on the game. I have a family and after getting my kid to bed and spending some time with my wife i like to play my account, that ends up being around 12 am ... More than half the times i didnt get to cause your maintenance starts at 12 . I just wish it was more like 2 or 3 am when typically not as much players would try to play. But thats my opinion eitherway im very upset today with this emergency maintanance.

Are you aware that a lot of people playing this game aren't americans ?

Maintenance is from 9:00 AM to 12:00 pm GMT, from 12:00 am to 3:00 am PDT and from 16:00 pm to 19:00 pm in japan. These are supposedly times when only a few people are playing worldwide, thus maintenance. It sucks for those playing specifically at these times, but you can't put it before that (peak time in NA), after (peak time in Japan) or even after (peak time in Europe). All in all...

As Kuwagami mentioned, SE will try to have maintenance during what they work out to be the most quiet time for all three regions (Japan/Asia-Pacific, North and South America, and the UK/Europe/rest of world). The sad fact is, no matter what time they take the game down, someone is going to be negatively affected, it's just how it is. It's unavoidable.

This maintenance is a result of of problems associated with Frontlines and thus, is necessary for the state of the game. Like roadworks slowing down traffic, it's annoying, but a necessary very short-term annoyance for the overall benefit of everyone.
