Maintenance times and length ?

[Avenger]

All the main patches are 24 hour, 5.0,5.1 ect. Side patches like 5.41 or 5.45 usually take 4 to 8 hours usually closer to 4 and may end a bit early. This isnt new at all.

Yeah, maintenance for major patches (5.4 in this case) is usually 24 hours but sometimes ends an hour or two early.

So usually you will not be able to play on the day before a major patch, usually Monday for the .x patches though the exact time and day will vary depending on your time zone.

Sometimes this interferes with completing limited time or seasonal
events, so be forewarned!

Note you can usually download the version update before server maintenance actually ends.
