Server maintanence should probably not be done at primetime in NA.

[Ordano]

I understand that you can never find a perfect time for everyone, but I think prime time (8PM EST / 5PM PST) is probably a time you would want to avoid.

This should be done overnight. 2AM to Whenever.

I'm sure no one else will agree with me.

I think nobody else can agree with you. Not realistically, anyway. Given where Japan, North America, and Europe are on the planet with respect to each other, whatever time they pick is going to annoy someone somewhere. Since SE's core development center is in Japan it stands to reason that the most likely time for a rollout of updates and activation of new capacity will be during low-traffic times there. I would rather have seen a staged rollout (Japanese servers first during their off time, then NA/EU during theirs) but it's quicker and easier for all involved to just shut off the two lobby server farms and shut everyone out and then just get to work on both sides of the pond simultaneously.

Yea so us EU players won't be able to play? if they did for for 2AM in US then it will be for us from 10AM to 8PM (10h maintenance)?

I'm glad they chose time like that!

[Xanatos]

No matter what time they decide to do the maintenance, it will always affect someone. That's just the way it is.

You are right , a game who is being made and handled in Japan with employees that live in Japan should totally change all their schedules for the NA players. Screw the Japanese players and screw the employees well-being and life outside their work, they need to work from 2PM to 2AM just to please the only country that matter , MERICA !!!

See i didn't disagree with you , i might have been a little sarcastic though. Seriously stop crying about maintenance or quit this game forever the maintenance time will ALWAYS be during that time.

No no... Obviously the maintenance should be done so that servers are not down at all!

Some people (not you)... Crying for fixes to the issues, but not willing to give up their own prime game time to get any kind of fixes implemented.

[Thonronr]

Hopefully they are fixing the problems. So it does not matter the times but really there all over night except for Japan. They got it worse.

Looking at it:
J: 9AM to 7PM
NA: 5PM to 3AM
EU: 1AM to 11AM
(not 100% sure on those times)

Some of you don't have to be tools in the forum. Someone was just posting their opinion.

Maybe I am misunderstanding something here... Do the Japanese not have their own servers? In my opinion the Japanese should not be considered when it comes to timing issues. However, I do believe the Europeans would need to be considered if they are using North American servers (which by the way, is a poor decision on behalf of Square).

Do explain what the heck you are talking about? The Japanese opinion should not be considered about the timing issue? The European opinion should if they play on a American server? What the are you talking about? And it's my understanding that before ARR US and EU shared servers (i could be wrong), if that is the case you can't think you are more entitled to have maintaince hours moved to another time when its EU prime time as they didn't had a choice before with servers.

And really, its not the end of the world that you have to suffer trough some down time at prime hours. In the last week i hardly been able to play at the prime time hours here in Europe cause of the queue's being so full you couldn't even join the queue....and this would be hours before the American prime time. I think its prime time all day seeing how fast the queue fills up.

"THE JAPANESE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED".
