July 4th 24 hr Maintenance

Yea they should just delay the patch by a week for the americans, I'm sure nobody would mind.

Come on SE, why haven't you figured this out yet? Bringing down the servers on a holiday for a major portion of your subscriber base is very uncool.

Ah yes cause the US and their holidays are the only ones that matter!

And maybe you try to celebrate your independence on that day rather than your dependence on the game. xD

Everyone seems to forget that this isn't a JP holiday, and they don't give a flying rat fk about the West.

And western mmo's companies dont give a F about them so their all equal.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU, Yoshi-P was trying to do Americans a favour by specifically scheduling the maintenance on a day where they'd be out celebrating and doing other things anyway?

That would be some 4D Chess right there, and make me respect the man even more.
Plus it reinforces the Narrative: Its ok to take breaks, we encourage you to takes breaks.

although it seems US people are the most offended, it has obviously escaped notice that this affects 100% of the player base, this includes everyone with a day off, who is taking a vacation, who is home sick etc...

surely a multinational company such as SE should poll their ENTIRE data base to make sure no one is off and might be adversely affected by this patch. /s

honestly, the lengths some will go to try and show how they deserve special attention is pretty amazing.

It's not even being offended. It's more like disappointment, I think. I'd find your post more offensive assuming that I'm being offended out of disappointment.

My only thing with Mondays is that a lot of US National Holidays (i.e. when banks are closed) are on Mondays no matter what.
Martin Luther King Jr Day - Always Monday
George Washington's Birthday - Always Monday
Memorial Day - Always Monday
Labor Day - Always Monday

Then the ones that fall on either a Sunday or Monday are observed on Monday. This year that'd be Independence Day, Juneteenth, and Christmas. There's not a single one on Tuesday this year. Next year again, there are 7 holidays observed on Mondays, and only one on a Tuesday. And there's not one on a Wednesday either this year or next... It's not entitlement, it's "I get these certain days where I don't have to work when I normally would, I would like to do something I enjoy while having that day off and this is what I currently enjoy -- and it's planned such that has the most opportunity to not allow that to happen"
