server maintenence ruins the "predict the fall of garuda" event?

>Implying Delta doesn't know what you're implying.

I get the Great Gatsby one, dont' get the Richard one. ^^

Count the two hours before maintenance, dont count the 5 hour maintenance, continue counting after maintenance. It ruins nothing.

Duh...really wasn't that hard to figure out people. /clap Rayna seems like someone likes to their brain.

I can tell you this: I am the one in that screenie, and I guarantee my LS will be back on in 4 hours.

Basically even if they don't count the time the servers are down toward the contest, groups would have to be remade and such, so yea its longer then it should be.

People need to quit QQing over this stuff. It's not the current dev teams fault that everything they have to work with is crap. If you're looking for someone to point a finger at it should be Tanaka. If his crap ass team didn't screw everything up from the start we wouldn't be dealing with this sort of thing. We should all be thankful that Yoshi-P and his team are working hard making the best of a bad situation on top of having the responsibility of 2.0. Cut them a little slack. If you're greeding that hard about winning a piece of gear or that upset over the fact that this could in turn effect the outcome, then you're looking down a pretty narrow hall. Especially considering that for the most part these weapons still aren't as good as Ifrit weapons.

garuda weapons are better. they are green.

I will assume they will subtract the maintenance time from the contest total time, therefore I am not concerned.

Even then it wouldn't be "fair." Battles were stopped midway and organized groups were broken.

It sucks for all of us who guessed small amounts of time, but I can only see including this maintenance time into it as being the most reasonable way to go about it.

If they wanted they could double the amount of winners and reward half assuming there was no maintenance and half accounting for it, but that still wouldn't account for the breaking of groups, halt to progress, and alteration to who's up and who's sleeping.

However, that's what I'd do if I wanted to save face.

but what if Garuda (Hard) was already beaten before the maint!?

I like the part where Tanaka gets blamed for tonight, 2 Thumbs, 5 star, 10/10... get outta here with that.

I imagine those hardcore players who planned around the maintenance are just gonna wait till the servers are back up and get back to work as if nothing happened. We'll prolly see Garuda down before nightfall.
