In the past 47 days since Early Access began, every Patch and every emergency Patch has hit EU harder than US. I have to say I was mildly peeved when I tried to log on this morning, before getting started with various weekend commitments, to find the server was getting patched. The wording of 'early morning' was also a reminder that we're dealing with US time and not EU time, because having servers offline until Midday at the weekend is not early morning. It's also pretty damn near prime-time for those of us with a Monday-Friday job. The normal weekly maintenance slot I can live with, because it is on a working day (although feel bad for night-workers), but what does annoy me are the players who aren't affected by the choice of downtime saying that everyone else is just whinging. If they're going to stick with a 'all servers down at once' scheme then personally I'd love to see the time it comes down change with every patch, so that everyone gets affected in their prime time at some point. Currently it is always the same group of people losing playtime. So sometimes the patch would be 7-11pm CST, and then I'm sure we'd see a few more people complaining about what a stupid time it is to patch

Yes, but THIS Quote: Improved service to reduce the number of player disconnections to the character selection screen it's not ever "non-critical" bug - it's just a LOL!

im gonna caps this just for effect WERE NOT MOANING AT THE MAINTENANCE OR PATCHING!!! WERE NOT HAPPY THAT IT ALWAYS CONVENIENTLY FALLS ON EU PEAK TIMES AND US OFF PEAK. Patch the ** out of the game i couldn't care less..... But patch it as soon as its ready, not when US peak time is over and EU's has just begun. ** if it had fallen on the last hour of US and interfered with 5 hours of EU so be it. But they wait for the US peak time to pass.... If its an EMERGENCY PATCH it should be applied ASAP. How comes they can wait till US PEAK is OVER. Doesn't say Emergency to me. I'll say this bit to help Americans understand, they obviously don't understand Operator: 911 Emergency response Standard American: OMG I'VE JUST BEEN SHOT....... SEND AN AMBULANCE QUICK Operator: Sorry sir its rush hour traffic out there and it would potentially cause accidents if we send one now. Its more CONVENIENT to send one in about 2 hours when it best suits our drivers and Traffic conditions Standard American: BUT ITS AN EMERGENCY FFS! Operator: Sorry sir Thats not my problem

If you're trying to say EU people are not in here acting like they're more entitled than we are, then you obviously haven't been reading this thread. Similarly, I was not speaking of you unsubbing. I was speaking of the other people in the general you category that are, and still are posting about how they're "so close to cancelling". Blame the english language - you were replying to me and said 'you' sorry - what else am I supposed to take from that? Also how you have the temerity to accuse me of a lack of maturity is frankly beyond irony. People are upset about things. They arent allowed to vent because BW close all the threads, the also close the forums for the entire of down time. then they come here and get confronted by people like you saying 'stop QQing'. And you wonder why they get more upset...

so, just curious, I did something more worthwhile than whining all day... did the problem with the latency/back to char selection at least get fixed? :P

This is not WoW! Competent game developers ruins the community!
@ Bioware Stop trolling the EU. Fix the downtimes to the middle of the night and not in the middle of the morning / day.

You are inconvenienced for a short time but in the long term, where it really counts, you're benefited so much more. You are so short sighted its almost funny....You are so entitled it makes me want to throw up. That being said, I wouldn't mind the servers being down until 8PM here...just means I hop on my xbox and play some GoW3 or maybe play some Witcher 2....I'm an adult who has options and doesn't rant when I don't get my way. Wow, I have read your replies and they just amaze me. 1st, I am american, but now live overseas and just can't believe how belittling you are to other people. I also get the impression that if the middle of your Saturday was taking down for around 8 hours you wouldn't be very happy. I can't say if this downtime was poorly planned, but I will say I am disappointed in it. I work all week and was looking forwarded to my evening of play when my boys were away with their mother. Next, Did any patch actually happen?? When I logged on just now, there was no patch? Does that mean they ran into a big issue and didn't apply the patch? Does that mean we are going to hear about it again the next day and suffer through another weekend loss. Would love to hear some true response from bioware. I won't be quitting over this, I love the game, but would love to see some caring response from bioware. Next, I really think it is so poor they lock down the forums during any dowtime.
