ANOTHER MAINTENANCE TODAY!

[Serial_Killer]

I don't mind server maintenance. It just gets really annoying when they do it 4 days in one week. I bet there is another EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE by Wednesday. As far as posting my issues with the often maintenance. I think people should be able to voice their issues so things can improve as far as maintenance times and how often. They obviously can't get things right which is why this is a rerelease and the original version died. Better give us extra days on this months subscription.

I'm on east coast. It's starting when I go to sleep so it's good for me.

Same here. So Im not complaining lol

All MMORPG I ever played had a set day every week in which the game would be brought down for the weekly maintenance. It's not different with FFXIV.

I'd love to be able to agree with this but lately there have been about 2-4 maintenance/emergency maintenance every week. I'd be happy if they had a set day each week for maintenance but there isn't and doesn't seem like it will be like that for a while. For the most part they haven't effected me but I could see them getting annoying if I were a night time player.

Complaining about fixing problems doesn't make the game any better. Maybe they should stop fixing problems? Oh, yeah... that'll go over REAAAL smooth.

At least it would be nice to get some patch notes, which i can't seem to find anywhere.

Ah well, SE hasn't changed a bit since XI lol

One would think they would be a step ahead this time around.

Hopefully they get rid of some more rmt accounts while they're at it.

Sigh... stop crying about maintenance. You guys sound like a bunch of addicted kids who's sole purpose in life is to log in and play FFXIV. Go do something else during maintenance and let them fix the broken crap.

It is what it is. Maintenance won't be going away and how they do it won't be changing. You can make these posts and complain all you want. All your going to do (if you get a response at all) is push back a years worth of content while they completely redesign the game client, the launcher, and the backend servers to allow for an in place patching system.

Do you want to play the game 90% of the week and get new content in a month, or do you want to play the game 24/7 on the same content for a year?

Most of these maintenance are happening to prevent bigger problems.
They aren't applying content fixes, When they do they address that in the maintenance notes.

I personally haven't been effect by maintenance times in 3-4 weeks.


As for FFXI
They patch ones every 45-90 days. And when they patch there is a week of 3-5 fixes.

That is the goal of any MMO, Get it to the point that where they are only patching once a month and on a said date.
