Change Maintainence Time

[braneri1]

It affects me cause I'm in CST and I normally play late at night, but it's no big deal to me. No point throwing a fit about it. I'm glad they are putting in the effort to try to fix things quickly.

Deal with it or unsub, it's really that simple.

Choose a different time. You effect the same people with your static time. Give us late nighters a break, we can't choose our free time.

You can´t satisfy everbodys demands...
you don´t like it... i like it because it´s not free time, it´s work time at my Timezone...
If you think globally, you will never find a time where no one would be affected...

And as someone mentioned: it´s emergency... you can´t plan failures before, and I really hope it get´s better (yesterday evening, playing was a Diashow into 90k festival)

If you have precog abilities in knowing failures before they happen, give me a call, i would like to talk about the lottery numbers ;-)

I see how everyone says its an emergency maintenance. If the emergency was so great then it would have been fixed when they found the problem, yet they always seem to have their emergencies at this time.

Emergency maintenance doesn't mean they're going to shut the servers down the moment they find something wrong (given that they do need to find the source of what's wrong and develop a fix for it, otherwise that's just taking the servers down for longer than needed, which gives kind of a bad image) - they will still try to minimize disruption to services through when they decide to shut the servers down.

Obviously its not a minimal disruption. I'm sure we are just the most vocal of the night crew, but whenever they do maintenance, no matter the type, its now. You can say "oh its affecting the least amount of people" rant til you guys are blue in the face, doesn't change the fact that there is still a goodly majority getting screwed over. Rotating these "emergencies" is a logical fix for this.

For a business, the "logical" fix is to affect as few customers with an outage as possible...

Unbelievable how many tards jump in screaming "deal with it or unsub" yet don't even address any of the valid points brought up in the thread. Nobody is suggesting moving the maint times to NA prime time. They are suggesting not always having maint at the exact same time, especially multiple times a week. As already stated, late night subscribers pay just as much as primetime subscribers do.

And please stop with the idiocy about it being a Japanese game being the reason. It's 4pm in Japan when maint starts here. I don't know if you understand as little as you guys seem to, but 4pm IS PRIME TIME.

1. Think
2. Speak

Very simple.

Yeah, seriously, because there is nothing else in the world I could possibly do to occupy 3 (or likely less) hours of my time.

Oh me, oh my. Whatever shall I do, it is the end of the world!

It's discrimination, of course. Don't be so daft now. Someone should contact the ACLU and hire some lawyers.

I second this idea. My entire static plays during the time they always do maintenance. It means losing at least one day a week for coil and when there is double maintenance, 2 days a week. Considering the fact that these are usually the two days AFTER reset means its the two days where we all try to get coil done. Would be good if they rotated maintenance or at least maybe put the maintenance on the day right before reset. You know, the day of the week where everyone has done all their stuff and no one plays?
