Maintenance During Prime Time?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I was just stating a fact and you are whining about it which is kind of proving your own point.

Fact huh? Do you have proof of this fact? Other than conjecture based on maintenance times for a company during their working hours? These posts also happen like clockwork every single time a patch or maintenance is announced.

And if you bring up "Most companies do their system maintenance during off hours to impact the least amount of people" This instance doesn't fit that bill as a large number people are affected no matter what time maintenance is held, so it makes sense to not have overtime and do the work during normal hours of business.

This attitude is really starting to get annoying lol. I see it on the forums all the time. "they only care about the precious JP players" well, when you bring out this attitude, i cant blame them for not caring what the NA community has to think. If you read the 2 different forums, ours looks like its full of a bunch of whining babies half the time.

How about counter the argument and not attack the person making the statement? That is what I am sick of seeing. Has there ever been a time where a maint happened during JP prime hours? You really think it is unfair for people to speak out on bias they see? On the forums they have a ton more replies while here it is rare to see. So someone saying they do not like the unfair bias is fair.

I wasn't specifically attacking the person, I was attacking the attitude. There is not maintenance during JP prime time because it is outside JP work hours, and as no matter when maint happens people will be affected, do maint during work hours. I see no problems with this.

The irony is the JP community thinks they cater way too much to NA.

Ironically, I think that SE caters too much to NA as well, and I am most assuredly part of the NA community/customer base.

In the close to 3 years i've been playing i've allways known them to be around this time. Am i mistaken?
Also has nobody thought about the fact this could have nothing to do with inconvieniancing anyone but more with working hours in japan, with the people that have to actually do the updating? Do we demand they do it during night hours for them?
Agreed i can only guess, but i'm fairly shure everything software related is done remotely on each datacenter from japan headquarters.

Yes, they've been creeping earlier. Used to start around 11PM PDT, now they're up to 7PM PTD. If you're in the west coast and get out of work at 6 you basically lose a day of playing.

Its only 1 day, it happens, oh well. Read a book, play another game, go bowling or something

I always get nervous when I am looking at an 8 hr down time. The reason I came back to FF14 was an 8 hr Down time in BDO. I'm pretty sure it will end up being what lands me back in BDO or some other game. Once I start something I kind of get lost in it and forget what I was doing before it. As per always, I pay FF14 on a 3 month schedule and I have half that left.

Oh well, maybe I will spool up Fallout 4 and nuke some super mutants.. been a while.
