Newp. We're down "all day" on maint. days. And for some that takes a day per week out of their gaming time. Which, for some, is a full on tragedy.

Be nice if there were regional maint. times but I can see flaws in that too. No matter when, some folks are going to be irked. Now what'd be REALLY nice would be no maint. but, well....

Listen, it's going to be inconvenient for someone. Welcome to "the world does not revolve around you". The sooner you accept this, the happier you will be. Also, I am currently in the same boat. Seems like every time I have a chance to play due to work schedule, the servers are going down. But unfortunately, the world does not revolve around me. And I do not rely solely on SW as a hobby or relaxation. That reminds me, seems like it's time for me to continue reading my Stephen King horror novel.

There's a few things you can do at midnight in Seattle. You could see Laser Floyd, watch bums fight at Westlake, get up to cheeky shenanigans . . .

lol, I'm in the same situation as you, and I think you're being silly. I work second shift. Actually, I'm at work right now. I don't usually get home until 1AM-3AM so the maintenance time sucks. You know what I do when there's maintenance? I read a book, go to bed, and play in the morning.

We've been asking for a 0200 am maintenance window for a long time now. Nothing.

How hard is it to move it back two hours?

2 hours Bio. Just 2....Theres alot of people on the west coast who play nights, and you cant move the maint 2 lousy hours?


I am so done with this game. Few more weeks before my sub is done,


I cancelled. Between this and the horrid pvp, im out

I REALLY hope the devs don't read this thread and take it seriously.
We're fine with the maintenance times, Bioware. Move along, nothing to see here, lol.

Actually I get to play about 45 mins on patch day cause I don't start playing till 11:15pm or so and I live on the west coast. From there I just either play wow or skyrim. I would rather play SWTOR but they have to patch at some point. At least they're patching the game at all. Don't want it to fall to ruin like well... other MMO's since WOW

I think keeping the issue alive in hopes that they eventually address it down the road isn't unresonable as people who pay for content as well as issue fixing.

Ah, but with separate patching cycles you then get complaints as well. Look at the top EU raiding guilds in Wow, they were always complaining that the US guilds got first crack at new bosses.

Seriously people ahave like intitlement issues. Would you want it not to get patched at all. Full of bugs. Do you think if they change the tiem it will help any with posts like this.
