I play mostly during weekends due to a full schedule during the week, since my job at times require for me to put in extra hours.
During the weekends, my prime game time spot is actually Saturday morning and afternoon, since I tend to spend my evenings in the company of friends and family.
When I pay my subscription for the privilege of playing online I expect to actually be able to do so, especially when I choose to play during a timeframe that is normaly considered as prime (or very close to prime) game time. I expect for the service I pay for to be available, just like I expect my other subscription based services, like cable, to be available when I choose to utilize them during a perfectly acceptable time of day/week.

Lol patch notes link to swtor from launcher just throws me to main page... tho non-browser link (inside launcher) works.

But really a huge changelog for 5 hrs during sat... sigh

That is a mindless comment!! SOME people do A LOT during the rest of the week and Saturday morning is the only time they have to play so why say such a dumb thing without thinking first that you might possibly not know every single players weekly schedule?

My Good man - I actually have no idea. We call it a lie in (pronounced that way) but for all I know it may well be written as lay in.

Bioware how long can you ignore other timezone's ?
Blizzard Entertainment can do it ? you cant ? why not if i may ask ?

Our servers are hosted in Ireland right ?
So whats the problem here ?

You already got 2 maintenance teams then i supose ? USA / EU ?

Seriously i know you need to burn out fixes, but taking them down on weekends when people are finaly free from work is not a bright idea and you piss off many many people in the process.


This is not about a 1 time downtime, its about ALL your downtimes affecting players in EU.
Count all these hours up at the end of the year and see how many playtime EU players miss with your lack of insight and we should get a free month each year...

Do it at nightime when commen people sleep yes.


1 word for you Bioware --->F A I L<---

I've just cancelled my subs, don't see why I should keep paying for maintenance so that Americans can get all the game time.....

Will we get reimbursed for game time? probably not...

I kinda wish SOPA had passed, get rid of America off of the internet, then maybe the rest of the world might be considered for stuff..

America isn't the centre of the universe you know (even if they would like to think so) o.o

Game came back online around 1330-1730(though 1730 is really stretching it since not many Subs that far out there) on a Saturday. That's 1:30 to 5:30 PM for us in America.

You mean to tell me, that the people complaining sat on their asses all morning and into the afternoon screaming at their monitors to play a game that they could not due maintenance?

This ladies and gentlemen, is a true sign of how the world will end. The entitlement, gimme attitude etc is very... disturbing.
First of all, the patch here is during day time. Perhaps this time is the only time i can play today? Perhaps we dun want a maintenance on a saterday morning/midday

I don't know wich idiot decides to patch in a weekend during the day, but you should fire him, or fix the maintenance window to suite a continent.

If i would roll out a patch during the mid of day, i would be fired... And if i do have to roll out an emergency patch i have to do it during lunch time.... :s This patching during the day... is ... ****ed up..

You keep using that word, I don't think it means quite what you think it means.

Here let me help.

No no my friend, I think you mean Nationalist.
But really maybe just a tad bit uncaring, I'm an American and even I think it's BS for our brothers and sisters across The Pond.
