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.
