Could care less about 1.2. It's all Carebear garbage fluff for the most part.

I do care about the 10 p.m. PST downtime though. That's effing annoying and cuts directly into my prime gameplay time. It's bad enough that every maintenance run hits us at Midnight while we are playing as well. 10 p.m. is garbage.

I was sick last week and logged in to play some SWTOR in the early morn (9 a.m. PST). There were 14 people in Fleet at the time. Why can't they just push the maintenance into the early morn. Definitely were less peeps playing early morning than the 40 peep average in Fleet at Midnight.

Don't worry about this downtime, it will still be the same lameness it was before when it comes back up.

I can tell by the tone of your post that you do not understand this, but it isn't about satisfying you. They pick a downtime that effects the fewest amount of players across the globe.

Go watch a movie or something? Go to sleep early, or go pester some senior citizens for some candy? Surely you must have something else you can do for one freaking evening?

Servers aren't localized down the street from every player, so as a consequence, they can't satisfy everyone's playtime preference. Is that so hard to understand? Or would you rather the servers were localized, because I can guarantee then that they would be even more dead than they are now!

Common sense. Get some.

The further you push it forward the more it affects Europe and beyond.

You're not the centre of the Universe my friend, as much as you wish you were.

Right. But it's okay to just eff the same peeps over and over, West Coast/Oceanic, so the rest of the universe doesn't experience a hiccup. Let Europe take their maintenance lumps and you have an argument. Otherwise, I don't give a squat about their universe. East coasters can take a leap too.

Yeah the west coast are getting screwed a bit, and I personally think the 12 till 8am is best. I'm sorry but you can't push it further or it'll cut into EUs primetime. It's as simple as that, they either do maintenance seperate for regions, or they do as they are now.

Let's just not complain for once, these forums need a breath of fresh.air

Us Europeans do take our lumps each damn week.

Not only do we have downtime until mid afternoon most weeks if it's delayed then it hits our prime time too. Further east you go into Europe it gets worse too.

You get your downtime when most, and by most I mean probably 90% of players, will be going to bed or quit playing for the evening.

I could ***** and say that as I work nights any day time patching eats into my gaming time in a massive way but I wouldn't want to feel more put out than you now would I?
