Another DOWNTIME tonight

You have never played an SoE game it seams, they are easily 100x worse than Bioware. I am actually quite impressed with Bioware and how they are fairing. Not saying they are perfect, but I have definitely dealt with way worse.

I do not mean to be rude, but is this a serious comment?

Bioware Employee: Welcome everyone! Welcome to the Bioware theme park! Enjoy your stay at the most fun place in the galaxy!

Visitor 1: Wow, this is great!

Visitor 2: Meh, I've been to better places.

Visitor 3: This is fun. A little rough, but I can handle it.

Bioware Employee: I assure everyone that Bioware is doing all that it can to quickly iron any possible problems and shortcomings. We all very much care for your concerns!

Visitor 2: One of your rides is broken.

Visitor 1: Oh what? That sucks!

Visitor 3: Shoot. Well, I guess I'll go on another ride. That one looks fun--

Bioware Employee: What?? It's broken! Quick! Everyone has to evacuate the park immediately! Code red!

Visitor 1: What? For how long?

Bioware Employee: Oh not that long, well, maybe about about a quarter of the work day.

Visitor 2: Ehh, that's fine. I'll go do something else.

Visitor 1: Aww! Didn't this park close down yesterday?

Visitor 3: Yeah, but that was when it's usually closed down for maintenance, right? Why does it need to be shut down again?

Bioware Employee: Because!! This one ride is broken! Everyone out! We care about all of your concerns!

Visitor 3: But only a few people care about this ride. We'll go on other rides.

Visitor 2: Well, I care about this ride. No, I'd rather have them fix this now. The sooner the better. If you're upset, then you're a crybaby.

Visitor 1: But I thought I could spend the whole day at the park today!

Visitor 3: It's natural to be upset at such a short notice, but I understand if they need to fix something. Still, there's a LOT of people at this park--and a lot of them don't even know or care about this one ride. Can't you put it on the fix-it list for next Tuesday?

Bioware Employee: NO! We have an official schedule to fix things on a certain day! And yes, that was yesterday, but still! You can enjoy this park's two-hundred rides tomorrow, after we shut it down and fix this one ride! We must fix park breaking problems as they arise!!

Visitor 3: It's just one ride. The park as a whole is still operating pretty well--

Bioware Employee: SILENCE! We reserve the right to shut down everything on any other day we want!!

Visitor 1: But you just closed it down yesterday! This sucks! You suck!

Visitor 2: You're such a wuss, Visitor 1. Stop crying and get over it.

Bioware Employee: Thank you visitor 2. Your concerns are very important to us!

Visitor 3: Wait, hasn't this happened before?

Visitor 1: Yeah! You guys shut down this place multiple days in a row!

Bioware Employee: [Dialing] Hello, la Bioware parc à thème? Yes, that's right. That one ride--mm hmm. Shut it down, correct. Kick everyone out. Yes, we're doing it too. Mm hmm, all at the same time. Merci!

Visitor 1: Man! What a load of bull!

Visitor 2: Pfft, get a life you two.

Visitor 3: Well, I guess we'll try again tomorrow...

Bioware Employee: (Yes.... I can feel their hatred... It gives them FOCUS... Makes them STRONGAH...!)

It's shocking some people will whine about 4 hour downtime. Try getting off the computer and enjoy real life with some friends or something.

at 2am?

hey, people might only have 4 hours a day to spend with a busy work schedule. It's not the people complaining about the excessive downtimes that need to get a life. It's the people that think that 24 hours a day is freetime and 4 hours a day has no value at all that need to realize the way they value time as being valueless is an indication of having no real life. ok?

Well, the games has only been out for what 5, 6 weeks?

All of us did something during that time before the game came out, right?

What blows is coming home and finding out the servers are going down in less then 2 hours for some bs patch that shouldn't be needed so quickly if they plan out patches correctly and tested on PTS. I just hate if its not one thing its another with this game, and they go ahead and take it down every other day for something they should have foreseen or waited until weekly maintenance day(which I thought was tuesdays, but I must been mistaken? >.<).

Thanks BW for ruining yet another night with your bs maintenance!

if they don't fix the way they have been excessively patching (and if it only gets worse as it has been getting) then I really don't see a future for people actually paying for this game monthly in any other timezone then USEast which the patching time schedules is obviously catering to so rigidly.

Well, this is a really classy argument. I mean, 100% grade-A logic there.

You should swap out the first half of your name with "MegaSuper" for the full effect with postings like this one.
