Please "rotate" the Emergency Maintenances (unable to play)

[Azyria]

While I support this in spirit, I think they choose their hours for -emergency- maintenance because it's convenient for their workers.

Now this whole idea about how they are supposed to provide a service is all well and good, but what is most important? Providing a smoothly working service as often as possible, or providing one that's always available but ultimately unusable due to various issues (like the horrible lag some have been experimenting)?

Hmm not really. The only change they`d need to make is from doing it from first thing in the work day to mid/late afternoon.

But they did it already
4 pm - 6 pm japan time

I entirely support OP in this. There have been far too many "emergency" maintenances this month, and I am getting sick of it.

In fact, I'm posting this right now during maintenance...gee...

Totally feel you here, also playing from Australia. However as much as i would like them to consider their times more, i dont see it happening. Im pretty sure they will go by the times when the least amount of people are playing and unfortunately we are in that minority.

Althought it cuts the playtimes it hasnt bothered me that much, i just do other things instead in that time. Even in relation to the game, i sometimes use that time to read strategies, watch videos and how to further and improve my gameplay, and before i know it bang games back up. Sometimes it even has helped me cause i got a plan set when i go back on.

But yes i hope these emergency maintenances are eliminated or are reconsidered.

I support the rotation of maintenance periods, tired of getting cut short because maintenance.

[Licus]

This should happen,

Rotate the times after the 1st maintenance for the week. Lets all share the burden of down times.

As an EU player I distinctly remember being told to suck it up in XI because literally every maintenance was in EU prime time. When we get to 10 years of maintenances all in your prime time you can complain how it isn't fair.

The fact is life isnt fair, and everyone needs to deal with it. I have had to deal with servers going down during my prime time but I dont come and moan and groan on the forums that I cant play. Go do something else, watch a movie, play another game, there are other things you/me and everyone else can do but no you would rather complain instead of doing something else for a few hours.

If you were working for SE would you want to be the guy working every random hour of the day because they started doing every maintenance at a different time?

[DarkkenMoneybags]

SE please change your Maintenance scheduled times for NA/EU. This is getting overboard & I would like to play a game when I get home from work at times then having to wait to 3-4am in the morning in order to play.

It's not hard to rotate them after every emergency, the people flaming in this thread don't want to share the burden, that's all there is to it.

Selfish players.
