Change Maintainence Time

[YmirEsc]

They let you know what it's for.
No matter what time they make the times, someone will get screwed over. It's life. You're paying for the game ALONG with the maintenance for it's upkeep.
They're not going to- and shouldn't - change it. If the maintenance makes you want to pull your hair out walk away from the keyboard.

Maintenance times are fine the way they are. There is enough of a forewarning so that players can plan around them.
Emergency maintenance happens at random, when the need arises for it so there isn't much SE can do to forewarn people.

Yes, some people are inconvenienced and tbh, it isn't fair to those people. However, it is what it is and those people have to deal with it and move on.

And of course, emergency maintenance happens -> Threads like these start popping up again.

Ok, let's change the time maintenance happens so we can go inconvenience a different group of players. Surely that is the ideal solution.

Please stop complaining about maintaining the servers, I live in hawaii so server maintenance happens at like 6-9 for me which is prime time here, but you know what I do? Unplug.
I would rather have servers that run well than ones that do not, I don't think FFX has maintenance maybe you should play that instead.

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.

Did I mention time?

Ya know.. Every MMO ever has a static time. It works. I doubt they are going to spin the "WHAT TIME WILL PATCHES BE THIS MONTH!" wheel every month because some people don't sleep.

And if course people who arent affected are coming here saying "deal with it"

Sorry that isn't true at all. I was affected by yesterday's emergency maintenance. My group was a bunch of RL friends who were all able to play at once which isn't a common occurrence. We weren't able to complete all of the dungeons we wanted to because of the maintenance. But you know what? We didn't complain. Its a Japanese made and developed game.

That means Japanese maintenance times. Just like when we play a NA made and developed game, it has NA maintenance times. And As I said in my post before, if you don't like the maintenance times, play a game made and developed in your region instead. I've said that to EU players for the last decade, and I will say it to my neighbors here in the NA region for this game.

I'd be a hypocrite if I complained or agreed that SE should change up their times. I've never agreed to it in previous games I've played. I'm not going to change that stance just because it affects me directly now.

It has been a while since my last chance to use this!

ITT: Players expect Japanese devs to come into work at midnight Japan time to have maintenance so it won't inconvenience their prime play time in North America.

What? Normal maintenance is at like midnight.
