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

[ValkinKrang]

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.

Why not? It's not like anyone but the lucky and the AFK'ers can play during any period anyways, regardless of whether it's primetime or not.

We're basically giving up Prime Time on a daily basis already because of server errors. Not being able to play because of a maintenance at least means we won't have to try and spam the login button for hours because we'll KNOW it won't work.

"THE JAPANESE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED".

I'm dying lmfao

Why are you dying? Is it on account of your being as smart as a rock? Let me break it down for you:

1) Japanese players have their own servers to play on.
2) When considering maintenance windows on NA servers, the best time for Japanese players should not be considered - this is because of #1.

What does it matter when the maintenance is?

Are you dense? It matters because you shouldn't do maintenance when your servers are normally used most. Sheesh, are the people on this forum 12 years old? Have you graduated highschool yet? Do you have an ounce of common sense?

Haha Common sense says that if the servers are running this badly you take them down and fix them. Most people would gladly have the servers down for a day and get this all fixed than not being able to play at because of full servers, random disconnections, errors and so forth. When 50%+ of your fan base can't play, you take down the servers as soon as you can. Its that simple. A few hours of "prime time" mean nothing in the long run if they get these errors fixed.

Besides this is how SE operates. Most of us learned this with FFXI.

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.

THE COMPANY IS JAPANESE.

We're not talking about the playerbase.

Not sure if you realize, but what would happen if they did this particular maintenance one datacenter at a time, the people who can't play on one, would flood the one that is remaining up and cause even more issues.
That's aside from the fact that you're asking them to do almost double the work by asking them to do one at a time.

We don't know yet how future NORMAL maintenance will be handled either...

This game is made in Japan no? What time is it there during the scheduled maintenance? Hmmmmmm...... Interesting....


Lol

[Wren_Fuoren]

Suck it up america, at least you get servers on your own soil.

I would rather they try and fix the game, than let it continue to be this frigging bad.

Cry more you over-entitled little prats.

[Delusional]

It's not like any of us can play as it is, why does it matter if it's during primetime, THE TIME I'M LEAST LIKELY TO BE ABLE TO LOGIN IS DURING PRIMETIME.

This is literally a non-issue.
