The only game to patch during prime time

[Ixsiehn]

LOL, you americans can now suffer what we oceanic players have suffered for ages playing games like WoW and other US based MMOs!! >=D

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".

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.

Guess what? This game doesn't revolve around your schedule .

For all we know, JP + EU > NA alone. As an American, i have no problem with this. Means I can actually get some studying done

Japan Time is the only time

Live and learn

This gives me time to spend with my wife. I wish they would shut the server down on Sunday so I can watch Football all day

The OP is correct. SE said the players ie paying customers in NA are more than double that of Japan. As a business you should accommodate the most customers you can not the opposite.

[texhnolyze]

because it's a Japanese game
we asian/oceanic players are always have your current problem in almost every global/NA games
so now is your turn lol ;D

right here, the maintenance is occuring while i'm on the office

That also means the Japanese team must work skeleton hours (especially after the hell they went through to get ARR out to us). You seem to be forgetting that human beings are the ones who are servicing this to us. You keep mentioning "Square," like it's a contiguous being that runs on gears and latches rather than living, breathing people who will think it's bullshit that the hours that they're employed and contracted for are flipped just to satisfy you. It's a two way street for the upper management at Square. Remember that.

Oh crap man, I have to actually do something else besides playing a game! But in all seriousness, like people have said before it, they're working on a Japan time schedule. It's really not the worst thing that could happen to the game.
