Why Monday?

[Mayin]

You know SE... on Mondays like you know right when you reset the cap and Bahamut's Coil.

Many groups are eager to farm out their Mythology cap to get their cool new piece of gear... Or make their runs through Coil and open their boxes...

This is the 2nd week in a row that there has been maintenance on Monday night.

Now I don't suggest weekend maintenance at all but um... later in the week when people are already capped, or have finished up their coil routine for the week... Might be a better time.

This is non-sensical, how can you justify having maintenance on the weekend when its prime time, or for that matter on any other day than mon and weds. I do my coil runs on friday, I do my AK runs on tuesday. Guess what I do on mondays? Nothing. My point is, it doesnt matter when you run maintenance because there will always be somebody sitting aroun dto complain about it, so just live with it and plan accordingly.

Just another manic maintenance . . .

Since those doing the content you're talking about are a minority of players (and a small one at that, going from SE's own figures) then I see no reason to consider their needs above the majority's.

Why not Friday?

I agree people tend to complain about maintenances.

However, that being said…

…never have I seen so many maintenances for a post-2010 AAA MMO 3 months into release. There must be some serious database/server issues, a pile of bugs, and/or a very weak underlying design, for the game to require so many maintenances. It's just subpar to industry standards as we speak, and that's something seasoned MMO players know.

Bad track record (for SE) + touchy subject (for players) = huge uproar.

And to some degree, I agree with people asking for at least standard service quality.

How about it happens when it happens and you all suck it up and deal with it.

Whoever said the weekly maintenance should end with the cap reset on Monday morning is a genius...

You see things like this make sense.

Yay another "Stop doing maintence when IM playing the game" thread.

How exciting.
