4h. downtime... a SATURDAY???

Its not that its about USA vs EU, I live in the USA and this stupid down time affected me adversely. Dont blame a country blame a company for making a very poor decision.

not only closing but outright deleting a lot of posts
never seen a company delete so many forum posts in last 30 days as this one does

most of which have not been out of line in any way shape form or fashion ... only thing they had in common was inteligent post that shone bioware in a bad light with inteligent well though out posts ... just deleted on whims by bioware


its becoming epidemic in the levels they do it

its not like we do not notice them doing if for those of us paying attention ... which no matter how much we like a game puts a sour taste in our stomachs and makes us think twice about giving money to said company

Whew, thankfully I had work this Saturday...

And i reserve the right to no longer use their service and stop paying them.

There seems to be a complete misunderstanding among alot of you folk. Some even believe we are against bug fixes, how stupid can some people can get right?

We are pissed because not only is the regular maintenance in the middle of the day for us every week. But we get bombarded with "emergency" downtime right in the middle of our days aswell. Even holidays and weekend! While Bioware seems to make damn sure they do not upset the US players, they show a complete lack of interest in their European playerbase. Even tough we make up roughly 40% of their customers.

So maybe the European players will start showing a lack of interest in their product? I know i am, 2 months gametime card and if its runs out and this downtime issue isnt fixed then im gone. Let them seperate the server downtimes or at the very least make the Us share in some of the downtime pain aswell.

Remember we've had about half a dozen extra downtime since launch, and that was little over a month ago! And everytime its unfavorable to the European players. Are you really surprised some people are getting sick of it? Or are the US players just scared ******** they might actually start doing maintenance in US primetime when Bioware sees their Euro subscriptions drop?

But dont worry, eventually you wont get these threads anymore. Only european truebelievers who idolize Bioware will remain. Everyone else will drop this game. Just remember, its not about the money but the principle of the thing.

And to add insult to injury, they fixed nothing of emergency at all. An issue thats been around since launch, affects a relative small portion of the playerbase.
This couldve easily waited untill monday or even thuesday. Fixing this right now caused more inconvenience then leaving it in for a few more days. And the best part is the word "reduced", they didnt even actually fix it. Just made it less bad.

I've never seen a forum community whine and ***** and write so many threads about the same thing or just plain ****posting with absolutely no relevance to anything as this one does.

So thanks for being a part ot that.

If this was the SomethingAwful Forums, you'd already be out $10 and LowTax would be laughing.

I would like a developer comment on the downtime.

You bring the servers down on a saturday.

Why is this?
Is this how you intend to run the game in the future as well?
Is this a giant middle-finger to the EU? Explain yourselves.

Stop being so grandoise you narcissist.

The notes are right there, plain as day, on the forum splash page.

How many times do I have to say I'm Australian and get it worse than you? I, of all people, would absolutely love it if the servers went down US prime time. Get over yourself.

I THINK this game needs to get some dungeon systems going so we can do quest thn if we wanna do a flashpoint or heroic we can just go straight to it?

Kalantris, reguardless what Bioware does. People are gonna QQ about it. Just do not think your the only country effected by this. No matter what time this happens. There is always going to be QQ. Not defending Bioware. Just pointing out MMO Fact.
