Turn on the patch server already

[Wade]

thats why internal servers exists , i doubt SE test things on live servers like that :/

Do you? Do you genuinely doubt this? Has anything they have done in the past with servers led you to believe they have an actual real-life-comparison testing environment?

They do server maintenance at the same time as the patch...what part of that do you people not get? They can't do server maint is the servers are being hammered with patch download requests...

As someone already said: patch server != game servers. No reason to have patch server down for the duration of game server maintenance. Although the weirdest thing is you think somehow server maintenance is affected by patch downloads. That REALLY would be some epic server design feck-ups: we're talking junior dev mistakes here.

Apparently people want it like XI style when there was a server maintenance every 5 minutes.

Availability of the patch for download will depend on how much time is required for the planned Infrastructure Maintenance. They will not install the servers with the patch til that is done, checked out and found to be reliable.

So for the sake of those of us on slow connections, for whom the patch may well take hours to download, just TURN ON the patch server so we can start downloading. Please.

Thing is... I may be asleep when the servers come up so can everyone wait for the sake of those of us who need hours of sleep please. (Takes tongue out of cheek!)

While that is true, LionFranco, I am just a little concerned that they take the game servers down BEFORE they are apparently 100% confident that the patch works and is ready to deploy.

They about as confident and certain it'll work as they can be.

They still need to test it any way, in case they were wrong.

Is it just me or am I seeing a pattern with the topics people make and posts that people post?

Why the rush with the patch, servers are not even going to up for another 12 hours.

I can download at a max of 40 KB/s. Judging from previous main content patches, I'm expecting this patch to be between 1 GB and 1.5 GB.

That means a download time of 8-12 hours for me. THAT is the 'rush'.

Are you on dial-up? o.o

I didn't think you could even play this game on a connection that slow.
