TOO MUCH MAINTENANCE

[supernova1138]

the amount of times I've been unable to play because of maintenance is becoming somewhat irritating. because of my schedule I can typically play from about 9 p.m. Or 10 p.m. Eastern Time to somewhere around 4 a.m., I understand the need for maintenance but there hasn't been any effort to rotate the time window that it's done in. it's never done in the morning or during the day its always my shift that misses out on a day of play, not to be snarky or anything but I'm being charged the same subscription rate as the people who play during the day, but this is I feel like the 9th or 10th day I was unable to play the game.

yeah...I got screwed tonight as well. My wife was all set to let my have Monday to do CT runs with my FC and F'ing Maintenance. Every single time I get time or want to do something it is friggin' maintenance. I love that they are fixing things but please do this crap at 4am PST when no one is playing in the USA.

and sadly you've got the short stick today.

I believe the complaint is that the OP - and everyone else who plays during that time - gets the short stick every time. And while I don't disagree with you, I think it would go far to show these players a bit of courtesy by shifting one maintenance schedule every now and then, especially when maintenances are so frequent.

You know they hold separate maintenances for NA/EU and JP groups, right? Patches may be an exception but the weekly maintenances are not.

It's part of the terms of service you agreed to when you signed up, that SE are fully entitled to take the game offline for maintenance whenever they need to, and for as much time as they need, without compensation to the player.

It's unfortunate, but no matter what time of day or part of the week they do it on, someone somewhere is going to always be inconvenienced by server downtime, and sadly you've got the short stick today.

This maintenance is also accompanied by a patch hence why it's also longer than normal.
