Please don't do maintenance on the 4th! America is off work!

[Wanzzo]

This is an irrational response. I realize that I should have said "major holiday", but of course you would just feign ignorance in order to be a chucklehead.

i'm just kidding

I'm sorry u.u

(I'm bored).

And, yes. You have a nice point. But, the problem is the schedule for workers in any type of worldwide company. It is based more on a profit plan than anything else. Some specific days of the year works more for seasonal events than anything else... It's the logic of profit, not the logic of respect for holidays anywhere in special.

I think even in their own holidays they do this. It's not a personal stuff against US people. It just logistics.

But, yeah, would be awesome if it was different.

Go out and grill some burgers. It's not the end of the world.

People need to get a life outside this game..

Excuse me a life outside the game? where gas prices, stress, and bad eating habits leads to despair and dynamos lurks behind every shadow?

Well the good news is that we don't have to worry about the possibility of maintenance on July 4th, due to leap years, until 2033.

The bad news is that this forum makes American's look like entitled, self-centered individuals who expects the rest of the world to conform to our wishes and wants.

The world does not revolve around the US. Stop acting like it does.

As an American, I agree with this. There's no reason for square to not stick to their schedule. Maintenance has always been on Mondays or Tuesdays, since Tuesday is the weekly reset.
Besides who knows what complications delaying would cause.

Just use the day to spend time with family or friends.

Precisely

Aw - thought the first episode was pretty good! Does it go downhill or something?

Some lore purists got their panties all knotted. The SO and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I do hope they continue with the series but I believe that's not currently planned.

Coming in with a novel idea here: arent US citizens off work today because of celebrations? Like, outdoors? With people? ...and more important stuff to do?
Makes sense to have downtime on a day like that doesn't it?

Well that was our original plan but RL threw a few curve balls at us which postponed our normal trip to see family and friends this weekend. Thanks to genetics I'm highly susceptible to melanoma so suggestions to "go outside" are given about as much consideration as drinking battery acid.

Trying to get Mass Effect Legendary Edition working on my rig. The game works... sorta but they took away the ability to correct their bad guesses about my hardware. I've never been a fan of Bioware's coding skills and this just cements how awful they are at it.

I forget if all worlds were under maintence when the NA data center stuff happened or not. Given that everything is down this time I'd like to think it was that way, but how troll would it be if that wasn't the case?
