There are better ways to voice an opinion. No need to be overly mean about it. The OP is doing this out of genuine concern.

I have actually explained most of this pretty thoroughly throughout the thread,

Seeing most ppl disagree with you gave me a bit of faith in the community back tho.

You do know I was doing this on others behalf not mine, so I am glad that slamming someone for wanting to help others makes you feel good about yourself.

Where would you put it then? Before reset is probably just something they have decided to consistently do since sometimes patches add new tomestones and implementing right before the reset keeps it fair for everyone since throwing it out in the middle of a week would just make people miss an entire cap if they don't finish in time. Obviously this time there probably isn't a tome refresh but it just keeps things consistent. They also do crafting/gathering patches on thursday because that is when the scrips reset.

A lot of raid groups run at the beginning of the week so any day in there would probably cause disruption anyways.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. Spark has an opinion, and regardless of whether you like it or not, it is his.

I've seen you disrespecting other player's opinions multiple times. Calling people "salty" just because they don't share your opinion for example. Ring a bell?

If you aren't going to exemplify what you are preaching you might want to sit back down.


Changing Maintenance won't change anything. It will just be a different set of players losing game time. Someone will always lose out when it comes to Maintenance.

It really doesn't matter what day they do maint people will find a reason to get upset. Make it a Friday people would complain it's a weekend. Do it on a Sunday people would complain. Do it during the day people would be upset.

They can't win without some group of people getting upset by it. At least they update the game often. Shaking that MMO cane but I remember some MMOs like the XI that they RARELY updated. Not to say they didn't but the updates weren't half as often and when they were it's only when the game hella broke or it was a seasonal event.

Oh no, I have to take 3-5 hours out of my day once or twice a month for people to make the game better. It's awful. Not saying it to be bitter saying it as no matter what we do someone's going to find fault in it.

I do understand where you are coming from, Spark, but the masses are right in that it wouldn't make any difference if they shifted the time/day. They do it during very low population hours on a very low population day. The only reason that there might be a bump in the population at that point is that they are trying to rush for reset. However, maintenance is designed to coincide with the reset because SE don't want people to feel "cheated" by changes that are made during that time that would have benefited or otherwise people who have spent currency earned for that week already.

Also, they can move maintenance to any time throughout the week and this issue would persist for people who wish to be online at that time.

In the end, I feel that they have done everything in a reasonable way, even if it can be seen as a pain to some people. I think they have done it as fairly and reasonably as possible.

I think it's also fair to say that the majority of people feel the timing is just fine as it is, even if they might be saying it in more or less polite ways than others.

Not just about capping tomestones..
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.

Makes more sense to purchase gear with tomes and cap tomes at the start of week to help clear the content.

[Lisotte]

You do realise that tuesdays are also always patch days right? It also makes sense for SE to line up new stuff like patches with resets.

Also I'm sorry but they do wait till pretty late to do the maintenance anyway, it was 1:00 A.M. for me.
