Excessive Maintenance

[Miste]

snip

I'm not conflating timing with existence, I am explaining how maint doesn't even really happen that often. I actually play the game often during their typical maint hours, but maint only blocks me from playing very little of the time.

I am being lenient with that 5% downtime also, it is probably more like 98% uptime which would be a 2% maint downtime...but I figured give it some more leeway because it is an educated guess of a player who plays very often and at multiple times of the day/week. I am sure anyone who plays often and sporadically can agree the game is up at least 95% of the time if not more.

It sucks you and OP land in maint all the time, but like I pointed out I don't think anything can be done about this. You guys just don't have enough time to play the game if you land in that 2%-5% downtime every time. I know that its lame but you are a major minority, like probably only 0.001% of people subbed end up only logging in in on maint nights.

Apparently you have more opportunities to play than OP, so maintenance doesn't affect your overall game time as much.

One thing that could be done to address the problem would be rotating the maintenance schedule across time zones, which would reduce the number of times that maintenance hits during OP's preferred game time. It seems like it would be fairer to try to reduce the likelihood of inconveniencing the same people repeatedly, though people who now dodge maintenance entirely would now be more likely to be affected by it periodically.
