Change to maintenance?

Wasn’t big patches normally 24hrs prior?
When did it change to 4/5hrs? I thought game was goin to be offline today lol had plans then seen it was still active on lodestone and was confused

dont think it went down yet i havent downloaded anything

I'm pretty sure expansion launches are the only 24 hour maintenance periods, at least regularly. Can't remember the last time a major patch required 24 hours, if it happened at all.

Must need less time for only one dungeon.

But seriously, yes point releases have traditionally been 24 hours but they mentioned in the last LL that they wouldn’t need 24 hours for this one.

Patches did used to be 24hr maintenance aswell.

My guess? They've just gotten more efficient at implementing new content.

...Or its jsut this few content for now and they'll gonna add 5 patches to it anways xD

They don't need much time to add cutscenes, bosses, umbrellas and some weather for existing boat.
