Two maintenances

[Raeletta]

There are many reasons why they could be splitting the patches; hell people have speculated things from download size to 'planned emergency maintenance'. But that's all it is, speculation.

2 days isn't going to make or break load size, that's just more downtime~

And no one said anything about being unhappy, people can try and paint this thread as another QQ thread, but that's not the case~

Even though the maintenances are eating into our playtime, we understand and appreciate that downtime happens, it's an MMO. But at the same time, we just wish that they weren't so.... numerous as of late. Weekly I can understand, and that's fine, but over the last 30 days, 8 of those have been taken by maintenance.

As for the troubleshooting; they have test servers for this :x. Yes, things can still go wrong here and there, but the main bulk of testing has already been done~

Have a wonderful day guys! :3

PART of those days have been taken.

I'm sat here bored as hell and I'm not complaining about maint since I know in a few hours, I'll be online. If you cannot stay up later, or wake up earlier, it's your fault.

I mean really, if you get off work an hour before maint... Go to bed when you get home. Set your alarm 4 hours early. Boom, maintainance problems fixed.

Only reason I'm up right now is I overslept, I meant to wake up and play for ~6 hours till maint then go back to bed till the servers were up

You should probably read the thread too... D:

I didn't mean 8 complete days had been taken (that's pretty obvious), and yes, oh em gee, it's totally my fault that I took a job where I wouldn't be working 'normal hours', and it's also a job where I can't screw around with my sleep schedule like that, or clock off early. (Tiredness =mistakes, mistakes can = death, literally.)

We're not asking for maint to be changed to a different time, honestly, we're just musing about how often it's been as of late. There's a great deal of respect and appreciation floating around here for the guys that do all of the maintenance work. But you'd know that... if you read the thread :x

I kinda wish people would stop reading the first post, cherrypicking the last post and then making an assumption on the rest of the thread's contents. This isn't your typical "OMGQQMAINT" thread.

No, I read the entire thread, and it's complaining and overstating that there is "too much maint". That and a conversation centred on peoples CATS. They've split the maints for reasons unclear, deal with it. Change your sleep pattern for a day. If you can't slide your sleep forward, you're probably not that great at whatever important job it is, be it a medic, late nigh maintenance engineer or 12 hour shifter in a factory, adaptability in your schedule is important.

I'm not cherry picking, I'm taking the overall tone and that is "QQ too much maint". It sucks, it really does, but they split it and it'll stay split, the times are when they are and they have only ever significantly changed when there has been an emergency. At the least, you know in advance there will be a second maint soon after, so you can make plans.

Ahhaha oh god, just no. Yes, adaptability is important but how dare you make such basless assumptions on someone's skills in that way. I'm sorry but that is plain rude.
I happen to be pretty good at what I do, thanks. And I can adapt~ flexibility is important but honestly usually I'm only ever covering the later shift as opposed to earlier shift (which does make adapting to the overnighter much easier since I usually sleep at around 5~am anyhow.) I do also take my work very seriously, since you know, people's lives hang in the balance. People > gametime.

You're completely misreading the tone~ and 2~3 comments about peoples' cats doesn't make this entire conversation centered on it. The QQing you assume we're doing is merely musing~ 2 totally different things, the latter comes with a whole lot less whining.

I understand you're bored, but coming into a thread with a misguided superiority complex is just making you look bad. :x

I'll be as rude as I wish, I managed it for 2 years, coming home at a time when maint was always on, and soon enough I'll be managing it again, though I'll arrive home likely half an hour before maint usually happens instead of midway. You can manage it too.

The thread looks like complaints, you got what you should have expected: people treating it like the same old complaint.

If it makes me look bad, well, so be it. I don't consider myself superior, but if you think I do, that's your view, go nuts.

You go ahead and think what you wish pumpkin :3 I wash my hands of you because honestly You are not worth my time. and just because your schedule allowed you to do something, doesn't mean that everyone else's does too. This is, the real world of course.

As for 'ermahgerd this looks like a thread of complaints!" You'd be surprised at how few actually have treated it as such, and even an apology from one that realized that wasn't the case~

I'm sorry you feel the need to be a complete ass~ Maybe, just maybe, your posting here tonight made you feel a little better. I hope that we could give you the little ego boost you so desperately crave.

And now, sleep calls~ :3

Did I really just see this?

[Nix]

Did I really just see this?

Totally. Because oh em gee~ It's our fault Pyro, It's ALL OUR FAULT~!

We are bad, and we should feel bad. e_e </sarcasm>

[Raeletta]

Did I really just see this?

Yes. Go to sleep sooner or later and wake up sooner or later. Adjust.
