5 hour emergency maintenance with 10 minutes notice...

[lancia12]

Maintenance doesn't really happen *that* often.... lol

I mean sure, last night there was some, and today but... How often does this really happen?

People complain there isn't enough to do in this game and only play it on monday. Wut, it's not monday... WHY ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE HERE!?!

I'm a new player within the last 2 weeks and my impression is that the game is either very laggy with multiple disconnects within dungeons or it's under maintenance. The first time I have ever seen an 10 hour downtime in any game happened last week.

Feb 26 - 5 hours
Feb 25 - 3 hours
Feb 21 - 3 hours
Feb 20 - 2 hours
Feb 19 - 10 hours
Feb 18 - 2 hours <-- This is when I started playing

So far, 25 hours of downtime since I started playing. That is more than a bit excessive.

The maintenances on 18th and 20th were forum only. The 10hrs was a patch.

10 hours overnight? Such inconvenient.

It was 5pm. How is that overnight?

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Some people, like myself, play at night because we work night shifts. When we are off it's pretty hard to have a normal day so I am usually gaming while most people are sleeping.

Then there is this. 10 hours is 10 hours. Overnight for some may not be overnight for others as Ecks here just stated. We understand the need for updates, patches, fixes, maintenance, etc. What people are complaining about is the frequency. 25 hours in 1 week is insane by any standard. Those of you arguing that it isn't baffle me.

I came to this game from GW2 which was a FREE to play MMO which had bug fixes and patches tested etc while the game was playing live... the players/customers were notified with 'a new build is available, please restart your game' files downloaded and your good to go. The technology exists, we can fix it, faster more efficiently and seamless..... Your point is valid imo Lancia, I love this game but the level of customer service and the downtime are my two major let downs as well not to mention the lack of compensation for said downtime. I thought it would be fixed after the initial release and over population/sold out copies 'this game is making way more money/sales then we expected' but after 6 months, I am starting to feel its going to remain a constant. I put up with it because I love this game but after having being spoiled with Guildwars2 FREE to play level of customer service and minimal downtime, its getting old.
