ANOTHER MAINTENANCE TODAY!

[Rawry]

I miss that login screen. Much simpler days that are long gone.

That was back when the game was actually good... lol

Oh! So you want SE to cator to YOU? I thought you said you didn't. Man, sure glad we got that figured out. :/

Also, I'm not playing devils advocate..

I played wow for many years, and their maintainance was scheduled around NA peak/off peak times, which pretty much screwed over the rest of the world. Guess I'm just ok with it being our turn now.

Nobody cares about your WoW problems, WoW was only down ONCE A WEEK.

FFXIV is starting maintenance as soon as some people finish work, then it's back up when they need to sleep and repeat another dull work-day. Get over yourself, not being able to play every 2-3 days? you're damn right they should do something about it.

An early one too. Aren't you guys sick of it? It seems like SE is deleting all posts related to maintenance complaints.

These maintenances only annoy me when I have an early shift at work and can't play before I go. But I would rather have them relieve the stress on the servers than them blowing up. Literally, servers can catch fire if they run too hot.

Grinding from 56-60 on Yetis solo because you ran out of quests was good?

and since we're being nostalgic and the servers will be up shortly...I give you Baneus, Feb 2005:



EDIT: SERVERS UP, SERVERS UP, SERVERS UP

The maintenance improves the quality of the uptime.

Furthermore, the quantity of players experiencing downtime is at its lowest with their most common scheduling, therefore the argument is moot.

In the end, not changing their chosen time of days for maint is among the best decisions they could make on the matter, and history suggests that in time, the frequency will more than likely become reduced.

Servers are down for me every time they are down for you, smart guy. /facepalm

I still find it funny that some people here really believe that more issues are getting resolved when they do four maintenance a week compared to one. Guys, at the end of the week, the same amount of problems are going to be fixed.

The only difference is how long those problems stay live on the servers. Since most of these maintenance's are already scheduled for 1-2 days out, they are really not that critical to fix right away anyway.

I don't even see what bugs/issues they've fixed over the past week. Besides a couple of turn 5 fixes (did they really need to do global maintenance on content that less then 20% of the population is doing?)

Not to state the obvious or anything, but they give a heads up so people don't complain when they get kicked from something important, you know, like people would do if SE didn't announce anything?

Just because you don't experience the bugs before a maintenance doesn't mean they aren't there. Someone found the bug, someone reported it (oft times not the same someone) and Square fixed it. This is how I hope my monthly fee is being spent, improving the game so that they can move on to future content. I don't mind waiting for said future content if it means the game isn't going to implode at that time.
