You may resume your trolling now.

OH NO 10PM PATCHES!!!

I'm one of those Australians you mentioned in the first post.

Its NEVER good enough for you, even though so many others have it so much worse.

You want bad downtime? Try 3pm (or 5pm eastern AU time), to 11pm (or 1am). This is normal for us in every mmo. Even with our own local servers, we get put on the american time schedule of maintenance.

You talk of 'prime time' but you have no idea what that is, clearly.

You're only losing 2 hours of play-time. Is that 2 hours really THAT important, that you have to come here and make yourself look like a fool? Just do the smart thing and close your browser.. and go play TOR for 2 hours, to make up for the 2 you're losing tomorrow night.
For you and everyone else, a little bit of a history lesson.

Maintenance used to be at 2am Pacific.

Then they changed it to Midnight, meaning West Coast, NZ and AUS lost 2 hours of time each week, because that's our primetime.

They apologized, but kept the time the same, noting they would do their best not to make it any earlier.

Now, they are doing it at 10pm. We lose yet another 2 hours.

No doubt, this will become a permanent fixture as well, meaning West Coast, NZ and AUS, are up to 4 hours lost per week now, instead of 2.

As I stated before, if they had run it at midnight, I wouldn't have an issue with it. But, they keep shafting us over in favor of East Coast and Europe, so, naturally, those of us affected can only assume this trend will continue, until the point where we lose an entire day during primetime.

Oh, and if this is so important, why couldn't they have run it during the normal maintenace window last night at 12pm Pacific, like they normally do?

Or, why couldn't it have waited until next week?

Once again, West Coast pays the price for everyone else.
Look, we got four or five of the main characters on this ship. I think we're gonna be okay.

If I tell you about something that's happening tomorrow, that's 1 day of notice.
Yes but it was announced today, so we got this day of notice, then the next day and then the next day when it comes.

you do realize that if they bring down the game at 10...2 hours earlier there is a very good chance that they will bring it up 2 hours ealier.. ( 8 hour downtime) so really..its not like they are stealing 2 hours of your life.....

Not that I can think of... my deadlines tend to be contractual. We might move around internal dates, but the client doesn't know anything about those.

This.

People are the worst thing to happen to gaming.
Ganking leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to pvp.
The Swtor forum attracts trolls because the forums are more fun than raiding dragon soul.
Complaining is the new meta game.
