It seems a bit ham fisted to have the maintenance in north american prime time. I live on the east coast and it still is quite bad. If I lived on the west coast I'd be really unhappy. 9 pm pacific is just not a good time to shut the game down for maintenance. 3 am pacific, that's a much more feasible and easily digestible by the masses maintenance time. Please consider revising, I could see quite a few people giving up ff14 because of the very bad maintenance schedule.
9 pm pacific is way too early, at least for north america to have maintenance. Please consider revising the time to 2 or 3 am pacific standard time.
NA maintenance times.

I agree with you. Square is really bad with there maintenance times. I'm thinking they got confused about daylight savings time and went the other way. Normally maintenance is at like 1am CST, but this was at 11pm.
They should do atleast 3am CST which is when we go to bed normally. I would love to see where they are getting there numbers for when people are playing.
Because either you get people who work in the morning so they can't play, or people who work late and play late into the night and sleep in the morning. So doing it in the early morning makes since both ways.
Yes, that way Square will know how annoying there time slots are and might actually see the posts. Good idea ;)Quote:

Maybe is a long shot. Doesnt really matter if they MAY or MAY NOT do that. Facts are they arent as we speak so they need to accomodate for everyone, not just 'merica.

11-05-2013, 03:04 PMxodI'm pretty sure the united states of america is a really large portion of their profit margin. But ya, seriously and to the point of me. If they continue on the same maintenance times, week in/week out I'm going to find a new game. I'm two months locked into this as we speak, but I'm not ok with the game being down at prime time in my country. Every other mmo that I've ever played has late night maintenance times. If they need to split the data centers to accommodate us it needs to happen. I'm not going to lose a full night of playtime and stay. But whatever, that's just me, i'm only one customer.Quote:

Between the too frequent maintenance right during the limited time I get to play and the constant gold spam tells that they refuse to give us an easy way to report, I will not be renewing my subscription.

11-05-2013, 04:07 PMDuuude007That's a pretty shallow answer for such a temporary issue.Quote:

Too hard I guess :/ -
11-05-2013, 04:16 PMDuuude007They already announced that function will be in 2.1... yeesh man.Quote:

I am not a fan of this maintenance time either and it cuts right into a lot of North American play times. They need to shift this to 3 or 4 am PST for maintenance.

11-05-2013, 04:28 PMDuuude007So it eats up JP prime time. Good luck with that.Quote:

11-05-2013, 05:22 PMSaxOr you know, instead of dumping it on the same group of people over and over again, they could vary the times. Also, just so you are aware, Australia and Japan share the same timezone.Quote:

This could be in response to other threads calling for them to rotate the maintenance times. Or maybe the dev's needed to coordinate with the data centre. Either way, maintenance cuts into my playing time regardless of it being 9-1 am PST or 12-3 am PST. I'm learning to live with it, and hoping it won't be so regular down the road.

11-05-2013, 11:44 PMrenachiOr... I dont know, maybe do maintenance on the JP servers at different times than the maintenance on NA servers?Quote:

The problem is they are doing it during their business hours instead of adjusting for their customers. Service companies need to adjust to the needs of their customers, not the other way around.Quote:
