Do we get the day back?

1)I didn't have any connection or buggy issues after HW. That's not to say other people didn't, however it was not an issue across the board. Maintenance/restarts/downtime affects all servers on WoW.

2) There are -no- maintenances that is 1 hour. 1 hour is simply for restarts and occur with the addition of *no* content at all, any content patches are far longer.

1) Not saying everyone did have connection/bug issues after HW, however some did (myself included) and server outages still happen occasionally. It happens in WoW, it happens here as well. I also personally have strange connection issues sometimes in FFXIV, mostly in dungeons, that I have nowhere else. I see others complain about it somewhat often as well, maybe it's an Aether thing.

This is how it usually goes in WoW.

Many of FFXIV's 3 hour patches are also incredibly tiny changes with no content added. 24 hour patches are also extremely rare in other games.

Calm down. Look at the lodestone.

As you can see from just this page, not even going back further than a month, FFXIV DOES have bouts of weekly maintenances. Not every single week since the game was launched, but for several weeks in a row every so often they do it. That's all I was saying. And please view the link I gave the other person.

And it's also not your place to be condescending about the value other people place on their money. A few cent to someone who works their butt off for it or doesn't have much money or just values their money more might consider the amount lost from a possibly unnecessarily long maintenance to be more impactful than you find it, and how is it your place to judge them for that or for simply asking questions about it?

Well gee Idk. The arguments I presented that you blatantly ignored.

• The size of this patch.
• The amount of processes that can create bugs.
• The amount of time it takes to check for bugs, despite a program doing this at an amazing speed for hours.

If your class said anything about how a MMORPG works. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than just networking.

You don't think other MMOs have to deal with these things too? Yet somehow they manage to do it much faster. You don't think that's worth wondering about?
