Looks like about a 1 day notice to me, but then again, they didn't teach them new fangled math-e-ma-matics at my grade school, high school or college. Coming from a West Coast player. BE GLAD YOU AREN'T EU

If you you define it as 24 hours, then yes, you would be correct because that would mean they'd have to say something at least 72 hours ahead of time. But I tend to think of days as business days, so anything on Tuesday counts as being on Tuesday. Even though it won't be a full 72 hours, it will still be 3 days. Although I suppose you could make the argument that for the West coast it's only 2 days sense it will actually happen at 10pm on Wednesday. No, you're still off by a day. If you schedule a meeting with me for today, that's 0 days notice. If you schedule a meeting with me for tomorrow that's 1 day of notice. You're adding an extra day.

Yep, I'm good with that. Make it happen! So you are speaking on behalf of entire West Coast and oceanic? when did they appoint you their representative, i never voted for you. Oh boy whole 23 bucks for a year? you can totally but that porche now.

Why don't you look up my posts in regards to the change to Midnight maintenance from back in December / January. You'll see I'm pretty consistent on this subject. So it's ok to condemn people who are complaining, but ok for you to complain yourself. Double standard, anyone?

Im sure Prime time all over is between 5-10PM :/ I wouldnt say Prime time is after 10PM at all. Most people that work, go to school or do something with their lives, sleep between 10/11PM - 6AM/7AM. Which strikes me as a... You're really going to moan that they are doing the downtime during the time the west coast SHOULD BE ASLEEP. I live in Europe, our down time is going to be between 4AM-2PM. The time people start to get up, personally ive seen most EU servers in primetime during 6AM-9AM before before start work/School and after 4PM. And every Downtime before this? Most of them anyway, have been during our 10AM-8PM times, whilst you guys get your nice nighttime downtimes. What are you whinging about? I'd gladly swap, i wouldnt be bothered with a 10PM-6AM downtime at all. Thats probably the BEST time for downtime. And TBH. JO accidentally let it slip last thursday that 1.2 would be rolled out "Next week" PLUS, yes i realise its not "72 Hours" (Which was never stated" But Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is 3 days. Tuesday, 9PM is still considered a day :P I mean seriously, people whine that we dont know when the patch is, then when they tell us you moan that they tell us? REALLY?

Didn't have any downtime on Tuesday, did you complain about that too? It's for 1.2 so big deal, most normal people can handle a little change in a schedule.

Suck it up people. Moaning about downtime is getting to be a little old...

Prime time is a reference to when the most people are watching TV in the US. Prime time will never be between midnight and 2am because the vast majority of people are in bed at that time on week nights.
