Really SE?! Really....?

Half or most of us would rather have maintenance and see them fixing the game then not at all. Everyone would like the maintenance to fall on another timezone but it is what it is. People take things so personally and they shouldn't seriously we all have bigger things to worry about in real life then worry about what day and time maintenance will fall on.

For alot it's great there is maintenance because that is one of the few times they step away from the computer.

Maintenance is a thing that happens, especially with online games. Nothing anyone can really do about it except fix it and that's what they're doing. This is exactly why I don't plan my life around patch day.

You haven't played many MMOs, have you.

He's right, actually.

I love these whining threads, brings a smile to my face

I know SE working hard to make this game work... But, I pay to play FFXIV for entertainment in my free time as does everyone who is currently subscribed. Yes, of course I can play other games when FFXIV is not available, but I shouldn't be paying for a game I don't get to play due to unscheduled maintenances. SE should have worked out the issues with the patch before instating it into the game to avoid this. As far as I know, no other MMO does this to their players.

But, you can play it. Your complaint is that you can't play it when SE releases a major content update, which last for only 5 hours, (because we'll exclude the 5 hours of scheduled maintenance.

$15 / 30(days) = $.49 per 24 hours = $.02 per hour. I agree, SE should refund you the full $.10 they robbed you of.

I shall reiterate for all you non-contributing zeroes:

Humans are not perfect creatures... they will mess up. Is there even such a thing called perfect people? They're only human.

He's right, actually.

The one that stated the guy haven't played MMOs? Yes he is indeed correct, because most other MMO devs leave their game utterly broken till the next major patch.

I understand you issue you are crying and moaning about... But do you ever stop to consider the 5 hour Maintenance that hit last night... (9pm CST) was because of a issue that was not able to be seen till it was live on the game?

When the QA Team test the content, they don't test the content on heavily loaded servers like we are on, they are on another server that only they can get on... and sometimes these issues are not preventable... and when they saw the issues, they had no choice but to pull in a Emergency Maintenance to fix this issue that came up.... if they didn't, then they would have tons of other angry Subscribers that would be doing the same thing you doing of them cry amd moaning that there server keeps crashing...

As for them Setting these Maintenance constantly, they can not set a scheduled maintenance that best fits ALL players around the world. But what they did do is best set a Maintenance time that Fits when the game gets Peak times and when the game does not. So what I am seeing is that between 2pm PST time and before 6pm PST time is when the population on all servers are at is the lease low and that's is why they set Maintenance times there.

This is something that you are just going to really have to deal with man.. So Stop complaining and raging. It is not doing any good now that this Thread has hit 9+ pages and you are just making yourself look bad. Remember it is not just you that gets effected by these Emergency Maintenance and the World does not evolve around you.

He's right, actually.

No he's not, actually...

What happened yesterday happens to all MMOs. All of them.

To quote myself from another thread started by one of our more famous negative nancys:

Soon after SWTORs most recent patch was released they had to bring down the game again for almost an entire day because a bunch of stuff just disappeared in game as if it never existed. It even forced some people to have to completely uninstall the game and reinstall just to get it to work again. This happened on a Friday night in U.S. prime time. And these issues continued on for days after. That kinda sounds familiar doesn't it?

There are also tons of doomsayers over in those boards too with threads like "Can EA/Bioware save this game?" I bet they all consider themselves realists though.

Oh and P.S. guys, if you ever feel like XIVs community is terribad, just go for a stroll in the SWTOR forums. It is like WoW players invaded en masse.

So yes, other MMOs do, in fact, "do this" to their players.
