Two maintenances

[Etiken]

Get over it.

Get over it.

Awww man, don't you feel better after posting that! What a wonderful use of your time

Though I think a better use would have been you actually reading the thread though.

These threads always pop up, and there's always selfish people that don't understand the complaint... you know why? because those people don't get hit by the maintenance. If you have nothing nice to say or contribute to the thread apart from "get over it" or "plan ahead" or "someone will always get hit, deal with it" then don't say anything at all?

"someone will always get hit" is a false statement, you should say "the same people will always get hit" because that's exactly what's happening... but nobody cares because the masses aren't affected. Now you could say, how is that SE's fault? they are tying to avoid the biggest group.... why does that matter? are NA players somehow above me? just because of their timezone?

What about us? all those Oceanic players, JP players, Night Shift American players? this is OUR prime time and it's ALWAYS scheduled at the same bloody time, every 2-3 days it's the same announcement over and over

Hi! enjoying the game? just finished work? here's a 4 hour maintenance because we made a typo somewhere, thanks for your money.

When I made the post, it was more of a heads up for the folks like me who will be affected by it, and in another aspect, a statement to SE as to why we needed two different days to do implement patch/fixes when a single longer maintenance would likely have sufficed and kept them from taking an additional day away from the folks who can only play during this time slot.

At any rate, as other have said, most of us are cool with it, myself included, we are just acknowledging the fact that its getting excessive.
That being said, let's calmly and politely discuss the topic, shall we?

In the mean time, what do you all have planned to do for the double maintenance blocks?
I said earlier I'd do a Harry Potter marathon. Started a bit early and already finished the 1st movie ^^;

Most likely they diverted time from crafter/gatherer stuff final checks to polish Savage and maybe change normal.
Anything critical that is found first day of Savage can be quick fixed for the other maintenance as well.

People seem to forget that we're still in the initial release phase of Heavensward. I'm pretty confident that the amount of maintenance between patches post 3.1 will be dramatically lower. At the moment there are still a few glaring issues with the expansion that need sorting, and I for one am happy they're doing more maintenances to fix/change stuff instead of waiting months for the next major patch.

At the end of the day, shit happens.

While it does suck that they have been doing quite a lot of maintenance lately, at the same time be happy that they are going about and fixing things rather then letting them sit and make the game even more buggy. At least with the maintenance for the crafter gear, anything that turns out buggy in savage or from the release of savage will be fixed almost immediately.

Here's some interesting facts about MMOs:

-Maintenance times are scheduled at times where there's low login times.
-You're also paying for server maintenance.
-Maintenance times is always gonna inconvenience some people.
-Game companies are not obligated to compensate you for any maintenance times since you're also paying for maintenance.

1) We know.
2) Yup, we know
3) We know (and even acknowledged this on the first page!)
4) We never asked to be.

Should probably read the thread D;

I kinda agree, to be honest. I appreciate regular upkeep and whatnot, it's nice when there are no bugs/exploits for people to take advantage of, and no other issues that are interrupting my gameplay.

However, these maintenances have become the interruption since HW, and it has gotten rather annoying that I'm basically praying for just one week without maintenance, because that has not happened in the month since HW launched. All the while all the other interruptions still poison the game: randomly unstable connection and the constant harassment from RMTs (which is still just as annoying and cumbersome to deal with / report as it has been since basically 2.0) are still there, nothing about those have gotten better even with all these downtimes.

And on a personal note: I'm home, so these maintenances are regularly and in a fixed way scheduled to be in my prime game time: the mornings.
