Two maintenances

[Kogasan]

The reason for 2 part patch is to keep download time down so instead of 30 min to 1h update to longer than 1 hour

Maintenance download times take an hour or more since when? When I download any of the maintenance's it never takes that long. I feel sorry for those who have had an hour or more to download maintenance's. Maybe they should upgrade their inet or something cause it should never take that long.

Think my signature might be relevant with this upcoming maintenance.

There is literally nothing that they can/will do. They have set it up so that it effects as few of their subscribers as possible based on geographical location and typical play hours. There is literally NOTHING that they can do without hurting other people and probably more people. Sorry, but you are a statistic.

Maintenance times aside, this thread was amazing to read. Calm requests, sincere apologies, level headed and reasonable discussion. If only every corner of the internet was like this.

I kind of assumed the timing of second maintenance is more of a planned emergency maintenance for savage Alexander. There is bound to be something broken that they didn't calculate, and would probably require a maintenance after a day or two.

Instead of "surprising" people with the emergency maintenance, they intentionally planned to release 3.05 in two updates, and will use the second maintenance to fine-tune savage alex for whatever problem may appear. Crafting just happens to be the thing they decided to postpone.

It's only practical in this business to expect an unexpected problem, and prepare in advance for dealing with it. It's the reason we keep fire extinguishers in buildings.

Speculation~! But a valid point, though still speculation.

That being said, they've surprised us plenty of times with emergency maint before -_o
Earlier in the thread there was another guy telling us that they'd split up maint in 2 parts because of the download size. Unless we're on SE's tech team, we'll never know why they chose this route.


@ Adventica: I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny~ It's tough to gauge your tone :3 That being said, I'll clarify: No one's mad here XD, no one's bitter, threatening to quit. Honestly we're super chill about the whole thing. COOL LIKE CUCUMBERS!

But we do think that lately, maint has been a little... more often.

inb4 it's their game and they can do whatever they want with it, will maintenance cause you to quit? if so good, if not, then plan ahead.
