What's with all the maintenances?

[Aleksandr]

The game has been out for a little less than a month... why would there NOT be maintenance every few days.

Because the purpose of Beta was to catch and fix bugs and not release a bugged fill game which for the entire early access people could not log in, had multiple maintenances, causing their stores to be shut down as the game was unplayable to the point they stopped selling it.

But that is just me I guess. I have the expectation that I purchase a working product.

You mean that period of time before release most players treated as a demo and not a beta? ^^

I understand where you expect a bunch of bugs to get fixed in a beta, which they did btw. The fact we didn't have the beta people participating made the server loads an underacted issue till early access. If you read the Letters from yoshi you would know this. They get a feed on the right side of the page if you hit forum top. its not rocket science to follow SE on these forums to know what is what.

also a nice piece that they shared regarding maintenance. they have, "as of recently" reached the peak of what they can do to improve server performance, and will be restarting servers early morning on Friday's and at the end of the weekend due to memory degradation of instances on system resources due to the sheer number. these will be rolling restarts and are done to keep the instances fresh for peak hours and the weekend when they expect the highest population.
