Yeah, that will never happen.

In fact, they said as much, back when they moved up maintenance from 2am to 12am. Basically it was a big "screw you" to anyone not in Europe, East Coast or Central time.

Now, they are doing it again.

And I bet it'll stick this time, just like it did last time.

Then, when patch 1.3 rolls around, it'll get bumped to 8pm Pacific, because you know, that's the end of East Coast Prime Time, and that's pretty much all that matters.
Look, we got four or five of the main characters on this ship. I think we're gonna be okay.

I just end up laughing now. It's like some sick joke. LOL.

They won't release it!
They're holding it back to artficially inflate subscriptions!
They're incompetent!
They can't get it to work!
More broken promises, BioWare!
ZZOOOOOMMMGGGG THEY'RE TAKING THE SERVER DOWN A FEW HOURS EARLY TO IMPLEMENT IT...

Nope. 10:01pm Pacific on 4/11.

1 day; you're adding an extra one.

Today is Tuesday
the servers go down tomorrow.

That's 1 day of notice.

That was redacted.

Then, on Twitter this morning, Stephen Reid specifically said 3 days notice.

But, as I've said countless times, I'm not as concerned about the short notice.

I'm concerned about the continously eroding up-time for West Coast and Oceanic servers.

At this point, it's officially a trend, and unless people speak out against it (as I am doing here) then it will continue and we'l lose even more!

Screw you to everyone not in Europe?

Like i said before, every patch i can remember in the EU has been between the times of 12PM-10PM or sometime around that.
And we're the lucky ones?

I always thought the patch was coming thursday nice to have confirmation of that though

I'm glad it's perfect for you guys. Have fun when it goes live <3

As for the OP, sit down and shut up. There was no maintenance downtime on Tuesday this week, which means looking at the week as a whole it's only an extra two hours out of your time; two hours extra for a major content patch is not only acceptable, but completely reasonable.

Personally, I quite like having downtime during my prime time; it gives me the opportunity to catch up on the Funday Monday. Not a bad deal at all.

Lmfao, so a person who was happy for it to go down once they had gone to bed normally, meaning they screw over plenty of others is now crying because it's 10pm for them?

Lol, that's called KARMA

Enjoy!!

Ok just a quick query.

Whats the problem with short notice?
I mean seriously, since the Interview last thursday and the subsequent twitter about it, ive been expecting it on thursday.

Regardless anyway, like ive said, its only an inconvenience to Europe.

Just sleep instead? Thats what youre supposed to do at night :/
