Seriously man, find something else to do, like maybe sleep or watch a movie or something.

Don't give in to the sense of entitlement kids have nowadays, you're better than that.
Amen brother. Extra rest. Will be nice to wake up to 1.2 after a long rest.

Sure shut down later, then europe gets pissed off. You have to log off early for one night, deal with it!

Downtime April 11th, 2012 10pm.

31.5 hours.

3 days = 24 * 3 = 72 hours.

Big difference in 1.5 days and 3 days.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Looks like 3 days to me. They never said 72 hours notice. They said THREE DAYS. They also never said they wouldn't give notice on day 1 and start it early on day 3. Loopholes are wonderful things, aren't they?

But seriously, QQing about it isn't going to matter. I'm west coast too, and I just want 1.2 so I can FINALLY make my Pureblood Reppie toons. (Jorgan is in serious need of a pimpsmack)

Dear OP...

Take the extra two hours you are missing out on for this patch to deploy and ... do something else. Really. It won't kill you. And when you wake up in the morning, you'll have a nice and shiny new patch to play with.

BioWare will never make everyone happy with downtime. Most people realize this, and accept that simple truth.

It's about more than that.

If this was a F2P MMO, no big deal. I'm not paying for the service, so they can bring down the servers anytime as far as I care.

But, here, I am paying for a service. The service is, access to their servers.

They set an established downtime window, they should live by it.

I'm an engineer. I deal, in precision. Precision measurements, precision estimates, precision in schedules and delivery dates.

I expect those that I do business with, to do the same.

Consider for example: Season tickets to the <INSERT NBA TEAM HERE>

You buy those tickets, with the expectation to gain entrance to the game, upon turning the ticket over at the gate.

If the team decides to suddenly change it's starting times to 3 in the morning, when you can't show up, you'd be a little peeved, wouldn't you? In fact, if suddenly, you had no use for those tickets because of the time change, you'd likely demand a refund from the front office, would you not?

Look, we got four or five of the main characters on this ship. I think we're gonna be okay.

Plus, we're getting the update that everyone QQ'd about, and now that's it's said when it's coming. More QQ's... WELCOME TO A MMORPG
