Stop taking the game down during prime time!!!

Stop taking the game offline for patches during PEAK hours. Why not from 2AM to 8AM or something not 5PM + that's just retarded. I don't know any other game that takes the game offline during PRIME TIME when everyone wants to play.

I totally agree I bet if they do a census the NA is there primary account holder but that doesnt seem to matter to them!

It's always prime time somewhere. ;)

It's a Japanese based game..... There's such thing as TIME ZONES :O OMG.

There is a time zone area problem were everyone can agree upon. I suggest doing a 2 time zone update to make everyone happy, JP can do theirs during there non busy time while we EN people can play and then we do our update during our non busy time while there able to play. This way it can make everyone happy and no interference with busy times.

.... to better explain myself..... Japan upgrades there servers while we play on ours and then during our non busy time we upgrade ours while they are able to play. Makes them happy and makes use happy im sure????

What do yall think???

or maybe they should just do maintenance like in between both time zones so we both get some time to play. :(

Seriously, this update is morning for them when most people are at work or school but it goes down in the late afternoon early evening here in the states, just when everyone is getting on to play. I got on and got a whole 15 minutes to play before the servers dropped, what bullsh*t is that!

I agree with the OP. even the shittiest mmo companies know to have separate maintenance windows if the game is international. Get it together SE

In my opinion it is better now than this weekend when more people will be playing.

Game went offline at 2 am my time and will be offline untill about 11 am.. wich basicaly is perfect in EU .. so what are you complaining about...

What peak time are you talking about anyways? Oh I guess US. Well, there's a world outside USA you know, and for once I'm happy the way it is now for EU. Deal with it.

They're complaining about the NA times. Servers went down at 5pm PST (or 8PM for east coast). Which is when everyone gets home from work/after-school activities/dinner etc and is our prime time.

I also agree with the split maintenance times. It really is the way to go for international games. Have NA's servers drop in the early morning hours instead. Would only work if they have different teams working on it though, if there's just one group, I'd feel crummy making them work 10-12 hour days.

Honestly. Suck it up and find something else to do. You can survive a night without FFXIV like the rest of us.

And when, exactly, are the guys and gals doing the maintenance supposed to sleep? Or do you expect SE to eat the expense of hiring a whole other team just to do maintenance on the EU/NA servers? Seriously guys, it's only one day a week. I don't know about you guys, but I used the time to get some cleaning done and catch up on the week's television. Even did a little exercise. I feel the time was well spent.

Tonight though.... It's all about the game time. I may not even eat.

or every one could deal with not playing for a day and maybe go out side or some shit lol one day of not being able to play during prime time wont kill yah go meet some one or something

I already made a topic about this and I agree completly, servers are defined as JP, EU or NA they should do servers at different times accordingly, It's really going to suck long term if they take the servers down during NA prime time on NA servers if that's one of my scheduled raid times, they should really do each regions updates during that regions down time not peak hours.

NA is more than USA dumbass... actually is a bigger community than EU.... so yes!! we can complain about this. We are paying a service so they need to fix their logistics before screwing our gaming. I know SE is not charging right now but they will... so figuring how to run their maintenances will be awesome.

And this is not a matter of finding something else to do...

Damnit. I wimped out and actually ate dinner. Stupid body needing food and shit.
