Hey this may be revolutionary to you but I have two words..
Time zones. -
11/09/2013, 08h51zen555There is a reason that every MMO in history patches in the early AM hours. This is sheer laziness. Regardless of timezone you are patching from 5pm-3am or 8pm - 6am. This window covers the prime playing time for the vast majority of subscribers.Citation:

Japanese Based Company = Japanese Based Work Hours
This is sheer laziness?
So you want a monthly sub of $39.95 so they can pay overtime? -
11/09/2013, 08h54IssacHello, center of attention. You don't know what timezone the "vast majority" of subscribers live in. So you enjoy this Japanese game? Deal with it and shut up.Citation:

It is always prime time somewhere. Just because it affects us here in the US for once....Get over it OP

Convert the time zone to GMT+9
You'll get 9AM to 7PM
It is perfectly natural for a Japanese company to have their employee come to work in the morning (Japan time), work throughout the day, and go back home in the evening. -

Whose prime time? Have some respect and consideration for the rest of the world, you dick.

Why is everyone jumping on the OP so bad? There are NA, European, and Japanese servers are there not? I don't see why they can't schedule maintenance better for each region.

Time Zones:
Japan: 09:00-17:00
UK/GMT: 00:00-10:00
USA: 17:00-03:00
Makes sense since europe is sleeping and japan is working during those times. -

ARR is played globally. So if they scheduled their maintenance around the prime playing hours for any one region, the rest would be upset that they showed favoritism. So they do maintenance during their normal business hours, indiscriminate of any region.

11/09/2013, 09h03Ares_Skullfuryno matter what mmo it is they do this someone some where well have it during prime time for once it happens to be here. they did it with ffxi. i really don't see an issue with itCitation:

And can you please provide the subscriber numbers with region statistics, I've been really curious to see how many people have subscribed to the game. -
11/09/2013, 09h12davidbowie
i don't care when they do patches and let them do there thing if it bothers you that much wow is available except on tuesdays when they do patch during american business hours just like japan does, god get over yourself already stop with this crying over spilled milk..
some of you just like to bitch about anything you can get your little minds wrapped around. -
11/09/2013, 09h22ZcionI am not agreeing with the OP but I just want to correct this and many other's comment. This is sheer ignorance.Citation:

Their NA and EU datacenter is in Montreal Canada. Their cage masters and sys admins working on this datacenter are all living in Montreal. So yes they are working nights when a maintenance like this happens.
Source: I know many of these sys admins and cage masters. -

Doesn't the same thing happen with US based MMOs?
So what's the problem? -
11/09/2013, 09h38ssppiikkeeyyIn EU JP and everywhere that isnt USA, yea i no its hard o believe that there is more places in the world that isn't USA.Citation:
Envoyé par zen555
For these areas it's night time. Now from yosh him self in a interview he said he easy to please the usa but EU and JP are really hard to please and he says some other shit in there hes trying to bring in the big EU pop because as he said it isn't hard to get Americans to play a game.
On top of all that there JP work time happens to be during the USA peek hours, i wouldnt care if it was UK peek time to be fair as long as this game gets fixed and we can play it. The ending Result is all that matters.
P.S. if u dont like it u can always go play that silly game World of Warcraft. -

These hair-on-fire threads are predictable and always hilarious.
I particularly like when they also contain a complaint like, 'but today is Potato Appreciation Day in my country, our most revered national holiday when everyone is off work eating chips and playing MMOs. How could they do this? Waaaaaa!' (...or some such.)
Really looking forward to the next update. -

You are really raging for 1 day out of the week?? ONE day? who cares what time they do maintenance. I'm on the east coast and I'm not complaining.........and this might offend you and others but its the truth. this generation of gamers just like to cry, cry, cry, complain, complain, complain about the stupidest and smallest things ever. wow.......

You finally get to experience what Australians and New Zealanders experienced for 10+ years with western mmos.
deal with it, just like we did. -

Not the first, FF11 did this. Its a game run by a Japanese company. Deal with it.

so what you're basically asking for is two different clients (like all the games do that have different maintenances)... which in turn usually also means TWO SUBSCRIPTIONS. the maintenance is not so much a server maintenance as it is also a maintenance to work on the entire game client, including uploading a patch. you really want a patch to be implemented during different times? or if that is not what you want, since it's technically possible, you want them to have the patch implemented for everyone at the same time, but have the server maintenance at different times? do you realise this would mean extra work for them? that's hardly cost-efficient and guess what? it would STILL make people upset.
that being said it's still the same data centre for both North America and Europe, and the maintenance is - for once - NOT during European peak time. in fact it's 3:30 in the night in Central Europe right now, where the majority of the European playerbase lives, and 2:30 in the UK and Portugal. so... you were saying? -
11/09/2013, 10h40MrSmiley
Doing it by their time, deal with it. Its annoying when a game you like is in maint. when you want to be on but thats life sometimes.
-
11/09/2013, 10h42UnakiI remember this one night me and some friends wanted to play some games so we loaded up Dota 2. Maintenance. We loaded up LoL. Maintenance. We loaded up WoW. Maintenance. Borderlands 2? Servers were down.Citation:

Why is this even an issue?
The game is being patched/updated.
This is a good thing regardless of what timezone you live in- and yes, I am also in EST timezone and I couldn't care less when the patch took place so as long as it actually takes place. -
11/09/2013, 11h31fides5566It should be, you're a customer, you paid for this shit. You can complain if their services are not as your expectation.Citation:

And this is very unprofessional for a game company this big. Just saying.
I don't have any problem but it's also funny that people who don't agree make it like a big deal for them too, even though in the end it's their own benefit if SQEX listen to this complaining.
If you don't really care when they're going to do a maintenance then you don't have any reason to disagree with the OP, do you? -

I live in Japan and my primary play time is during the day time hours as I am busy after 6PM.
and I have maintenance ALL DAY. get over it. do something else or go to bed early.
