The only game to patch during prime time

[MrSmiley]

Doing it by their time, deal with it. Its annoying when a game you like is in maint. when you want to be on but thats life sometimes.

I remember this one night me and some friends wanted to play some games so we loaded up Dota 2. Maintenance. We loaded up LoL. Maintenance. We loaded up WoW. Maintenance. Borderlands 2? Servers were down.

That was a very disappointing night.

Why is this even an issue?
The game is being patched/updated.
This is a good thing regardless of what timezone you live in- and yes, I am also in EST timezone and I couldn't care less when the patch took place so as long as it actually takes place.

It should be, you're a customer, you paid for this shit. You can complain if their services are not as your expectation.

And this is very unprofessional for a game company this big. Just saying.

I don't have any problem but it's also funny that people who don't agree make it like a big deal for them too, even though in the end it's their own benefit if SQEX listen to this complaining.
If you don't really care when they're going to do a maintenance then you don't have any reason to disagree with the OP, do you?

You have no right to complain about "prime time maintenance" because no matter what time they do it, someone will be affected. Americans aren't the special snowflakes, you don't have more right than others just because of your countries time zone.

Example

Maintenance to suit Americans? Oceanic and JP players get the shaft...

Just stop.

Please, people who don't really know what they're saying should stop.

There always has a way to avoid each region prime time. They even have NA/EU/JP servers. Tell me why can't they separately do a maintenance?
What ever the reason is, customer has a right to complain about this. Because this is their job to handle, not us.

I had worked in business like this before, I know what the standard is. If you don't know then you're the one who should "just stop".

Oh so why didn't Blizzard ever do this? Shut up nub. Love seeing the Americans QQ over this. Welcome to what Oceanic players have had to put up with

I'm sorry, but I'm chiming in to ask you do you even know how server patching and migration of changes work? Have you ever worked in a data center? If you had any background knowledge of this, you would quickly realize how incredibly retarded and costly what you just suggested is. If you ever thought about running a business in server maintenance and update, please don't, because you obviously don't know how to manage money and time.

Mad?

In all seriousness.

Do you really think splitting the maintenance times for each region is the smart thing to do? you say you worked in business like this before, did your business go bankrupt? If they closed JP servers and left NA servers open, the servers would crash from all the JP players jumping on with their "NA server alts" and it would be 1017 only 10x worse.

Like I said, deal with it... not the end of the world.

You should listen to your own advice...
