Do we get the day back?

[Dualblade]

lol I'm on Gilgamesh, going to have to move to a low populated world just to play the game.

Same here but on the bright side day of release will see it all fixed. Long live those who stress test for everyone else.

As far as maint goes, don't really see the big problem. History shows us they take about this long for their major patches so people can plan around it, and its the last day before reset so most people should already be done capping stuff. If anything it gives us all time to, ya know, play something else for a bit.

I'm cringing so hard right now. But I have to remind myself that ignorance is bliss.

Not all understand how much QA goes on when you try to put in a rough diamond of that size in a server full of potential conflicts.

I can only imagine how it was when they patched in Heavensward, or how it will be when Stormblood is patched in.

And that's why SE needs to modernize their QA and testing processes. Have testlive servers or something.

Yeah and have people complain that the patch isn't coming out fast enough or something along those lines? No thanks we already have to deal with thread like this current one for a mere 24h maintenance.

Eesh, i'm sure forum will be hell when Stormblood release, i think they had a 2 days maintenance for it.

Um, what?

If other games push out patches relatively quickly without many problems, why can't it be done here?

Here go educate yourself then come back to us with a better complaint why you can't wait a Day on Bytes of data.

times that by how ever many accounts are active in this game. That's a lot of money wasted. Thanks for the sarcastic responses. A simple yes or no would suffice.

ok sure,

No

Not sure if that was for me or someone else, but none of that has anything to do with why maintenance in this game takes so much longer than other games. Those are all general topics and the practices in them can be applied to games that have maintenances done far faster than they're done here.

Also, I took computer networking in college, including Cisco networking, so you're preaching to the choir in that regard. Please stop being condescending, it's making you look silly.

I think its less it can't be done and more so that it isn't necessary but again, those 3h/24h maintenance never bothered me so what do i know.

The thing is, they DON'T put them out relatively quickly without many problems. WoW patch maintenance is about 6-8 hours at a time... but there will be repeated maintenance the next couple of weeks (and usually a few on off-days) along with random restarts/crashing issues... and STILL manages to be bug-riddled for months. I would far prefer a 24 hour solid downtime and few issues afterwards.

I recall XIV having a series of maintenances every week for a while after HW, and server problems definitely aren't unheard of here. XIV has bouts of weekly maintenance in between major patches somewhat often as well. And WoW's small patches ARE usually 1 hour vs the 3 hours XIV has. You can actually find that info online, in archives and such.

Lol.

I think we have nothing left to discuss, you're resorting to insults now ;P
