Will servers come up sooner or on time from patch?

[Chocolys]

Because random opening times give advantage to the people that have no life outside gaming (or just use bots) and can afford to spend multiple hours constantly trying to log in time and time again.

If the maintenance ends at the specified time, everyone have the same, fair chance. Small, but "small" is always better than "none".

Or it is people who do have a life outside gaming, but exceptionally make do, wake up earlier, because they're willing to have the patience and make the effort to stare boringly at a screen for few hours hoping to login first, instead of being asleep.

This is the easy - not even proven - argument to say only "no life people" do that kind of thing. Yes it exists but,
More players than what you could imagine do have lives and work and sometimes take a day off work for specific patchs or feature release.

Seriously...

Specific up time saves time of those that are busy. Even if someone takes a day off, I'm rather confident that such a person, on average, far prefers to spend those few hours doing whatever else they have to do (laundry, shopping, play with children, spend time with their partner etc.) than constantly try to log in. Most would feel FORCED and their time wasted if it was not like that.


You three have taken my comment "in a void", considering the no life outside games comment in a void. However, it is not a void. There is an option of the maintenance ending on a clock.

And it is proven. No one said that every person addicted to gaming does it or that only they do it. But people addicted to gaming are far more prone to doing it.

Why?. Unlike past maintenance they have not announced that the server won't come early than end of maintenance planned time, and "Please note that the duration is subject to change."

People should read what is announced, not what they imagine

People often complains about long maintenance time. So they should be happy it's shorter

This is bait.

It literally always says "subject to change."

From 4.2 Hotfix, Feb 5, when Wards were added:
"Feb. 5, 2018 10:00 p.m. to Feb. 6, 2018 2:00 a.m. (PST)
* Completion time is subject to change."

Which means it could take longer, as has been the case in the past. We will always be notified if that is the case.

I'm just hoping it doesn't get delayed. Have to be at work soon after maintenance.
