Maintenance should not be on Weekly Reset night.

[Sparktacus]

I'd love to know what these people the OP mentions are doing.

I have a family, a home and work full time today is my first day off in TEN days and I still managed to cap.

Not just about capping tomestones..

Okay y'know what, no.

There are 168 hours in a week. Maintenance cuts that time off by no more than 3 hours, except before major patches. That is 165 hours in which to do whatever weekly caps you may need. If you didn't do it up until then, the only cause would be that you have other stuff going on in life. And that's life. Shifting maintenance to be after a reset would not help anyone in this regard.
But y'know what would be a pain to a lot of people? If the very evening after a reset, when they're having fun getting fresh rewards for the week, they're suddenly kicked off for maintenance. Which does happen in emergencies, and is a major bother to a lot of people. Not just some silent faction you claim to be speaking up for.

Why are you so hostile? Why are you taking this so personally? And boohoo if someone can't get a clear on reset night, they have 6 days ahead of them, see that works in reverse too.

Also everyone in here that is griping seems to forget THERE IS MORE TO CAPPING THAN TOMESTONES,

Alex Normal and Savage are also something to be discussed and take up a lot of time and add in rng.

I would like for you to read again what you typed there. And to go back to my reply.

Someone will always get hurt, no matter when you put the maintenance.
There are no but's and if's. Even is you went with the situation of "put maintenance a few days before reset."
That one specific day and moment, might be the only moment for someone to play. The world is a large place with more than millions of people habiting it. There will always be that 1%/0.1%/0.01%.... that will not benefit from it.

Of course someone always suffers, you know who suffers most for every maintenance is PST users, but that's another issue. To me it appears as a cost benefit analysis the ones who suffer most with maintenance are PST users on reset nights hence this suggestion which people get pretty rabid about for reasons that are completely beyond me.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it.

Really? The sjw has got this far in the US?
Wake up and smell the roses,you little sensible panda. Either you make a post and wait for a debate and don't get hurt by sarcastic and mean replies, or don't post at all.
More healthy is to have an opinion and stick to it and view from multiple angles.

P.s sorry for offtopic ...

Because there's a fair difference between rushing at the very end of a set period to get something done and having the deadline moved up slightly, versus being cut-off trying to get an early start on it only to be forced to stop.

I am NOT a social justice warrior. Please don't ever make such a ridiculous assumption again. All I was asking was to respect an opinion, because I get the feeling he will be verbally harassed on this forum. To be fair, I don't even agree with him, but I still understand where he is coming from, and I respect him.

[cougarel]

I will stick to the topic this time .
As it was announced with more than 3 days before the maintenance, I can't really agree with your opinion.

The problem with moving said maintenance time, is that you then end up screwing over the CET playerbase. Move it earlier and you end up screwing the Japanese playerbase. There is no winning and satisfying people when it comes to maintenance time is simply what I'm trying to say.

And this is coming from someone that had to endure losing 1 game day during maintenance back in the FFXI days. When S-E decided to put it in european prime time.
Was it annoying for me and can I understand the pain? Hell yes!
Did I openly start to complain and ask for it to be moved on forums? No
Why is that? Because I was understanding and knew back then when I was but a teenager that there was no safe middle-ground.

The only moment where there is a good safe time for maintenance, only applies to MMO's where the game is seperated by region. Examples: Aion, Tera, GW2 and so on. Where each region is handled by another company. FFXI & FFXIV has servers where everyone plays together. And is handled by 1 company.

They already said that they check what times there are more people online, and schedule the maintenance at the times when less people will be affected.
They don't choose a random time or care less about certain demography over others. They have the data and they use it.
Sorry about the people who couldn't finish their weekly caps, but is still mostly their own fault.

This isn't about the time it's about the day really. The time I understand as much as I hate it.

It is always the same day, reset day, not the date itself.

Thank you, I appreciate your maturity very much.

You assume that said person NEEDS to rush, not that they have life, obligations, priorities. I never need to rush, I am always capped and bored by Friday so again, this isn't about me.

This isn't about the time it's about the day so your points are not relevant in this regard.



It is always the same day, reset day, not the date itself.

Is still relevant: As time goes by, more and more people are done with their weekly caps, and therefore, less and less people will be affected by a maintenance on the last day.

If is of any comfort, you still have some more hours left before the actual reset... if a game is so important to you, then you would be trying to get those things done until the last second anyway.
