Absolutely Ridiculous

[Shug]

They did more than add mounts and shit. They rebuilt the engine entirely. People tend to forget that they practically made a new game because it doesn't seem that different on the outside. That's why the "It's a RE-launch" arguments for why this game should be running flawlessly are moot. You build a new office building...there's bugs in the electrical system, a few doors stick, a toilet or two backs up. A couple of months in there's a critical flaw found in the building's framework or worse there's a fire. The building has to be torn down to foundations and rebuilt. You use relatively the same blueprints to rebuild on top of the old foundations but it's still once again a new building and you're going to have to AGAIN work out electrical bugs and backed up toilets and sticky doors.

Sorry, but from Beta 4 till now they did not entirley re-build the game.

lol There are games like DC Universe who do a "Game Reset" every freaking day 7am EST and like 11:00pm or so. TWICE per day. Thats bad even if its just 30 mins each. so dont complain.

[Noctrin]

ehh, it's getting a bit ridiculous. I more or less understood this right after launch, but it's been like 3 months. For PST players raiding at night, it kinda messes with our schedule when the maintenance starts at 8-9... If they moved it a few hours ahead i wouldn't really care, but i'm sure a different time zone would . Hard to please everyone.

I don't see a point in complaining about something that we cannot change.

If you don't like it, you are free to take your money elsewhere. We all are.

Maintenance happens.... even more so when a lot needs to be done. I cannot be sure WHAT SE is doing with these maintenance times, but I doubt they are just twiddling their fingers and singing jolly songs while they go on. There is probably a good reason, but they aren't being transparent about everything being done because some stuff is best kept unsaid. Sometimes a maintenance is done to improve security and fix vulnerabilities.

As far as others... I empathize. The maintenance times ALWAYS cut into my group's coil schedule. Every single week. It's frustrating, but it is what it is. I could say, "I wish they would do it during the morning -- while most people are at work," but that would make a bunch of other people with different schedules upset. There is no 'perfect' time.

[HiryuYuuki]

I dont have any complain with all the maintenance, but at least please erase all the botters and gold seller please :/

[Black_Rose]

sounds like SE spent all that money they made with FFXIV:ARR on hookers and sake instead of a capable tech team.
would have done the same :|!

[Kat_Manx]

How can people possibly complain about them trying to fix things? Like, what exactly do you want them to do? Leave the game broken? I'm sure THAT wouldn't eventually lead to the downfall of the game.

[Lollerblades]

I hope SE make a new server. Pop all the moaning players on it. And never perform maint or updates. Ever. Again.

Problem solved. The rest of us will have a great working game The rest can stick to the broken server because they're to impatient.

Can we please have more. So these people leave.
Last week I was effected by non of the down time. I logged 45 mins earlier then most times, But toss in a movie and was good to go.

If you can't handle the downtime you shouldn't play the game. Please come back in 6 months.

Sometimes those downtimes are the only times people can play. It's that little time they have that they want to enjoy what's to be something they like. If they wanted to go watch a movie they would have done just that instead of signing into the game. It's not affecting you much, so I suppose you shouldn't care what might be going on in other people lives...

So who cares right? Everyone of those people should just stop enjoying what they like to do~<3

I've not been affected by a single maintenance btw. I don't play during those hours but I can understand why it would suck for others.
