No, there were lots of World problems before this. This is just the first one that impacted his SWTOR gaming time.

I think the complaints that they didn't give us enough notice are valid; after all, it was only about 0.012 days.

Of course, that's Venusian days, since I'm forced to assume that the people kicking up a fuss about the amount of notice given aren't living on the same planet as the rest of us.

The downtime is 8 hours, same as every other downtime. Why the early shutdown? Why move it more into primetime?

Oh, and @StephenReid....3 days notice? 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.

they could, you know... not give us 1.2 and just keep the servers up all the time. XD

man, some of you guys should really play the other mmos... they had some mad downtimes! especially after patches! why, in my day, patch day = no game at all for 24hrs! well, unless one realm was still up... but then it would get flooded and everybody would cry. >)

They're giving you the opportunity to do something constructive with that time, such as spending time with your family, reading a book or making new [real] friends.

You should be happy & give thanks to a company that is so considerate.

I am from Australia and why the Update - maintenance time's dont personally bother me i can see why others would be a bit annoyed.

you've got the ones who go to school 9am-3pm AEST- (most are still on easter holiday's till next week)

and the one's who work 9am-5pm AEST

So with server maintenance from 3pm-11pm AEST most wont be able to play at all that day
due having to go to bed and get up a do it all again, so you should be able to see where some of the complainers are coming from.

Me personally i have a life so ill go play with my girlfriend and see if i can win a prize

We need this downtime. Without it, when would we get to shower?

Also I missed my chance to poop already last week, it's going to be at least a 4 flusher this time around.

What I do have an issue with is:

1) West Coast constantly getting the shaft on downtime, and this time around, getting it even worse.

2) We were told we'd have 3 days notice of 1.2. Apparently, that was a lie.


Heck, if they would have gone with the patch at Midnight, AS USUAL, then maybe I'd have not posted at all.

You may resume your trolling now.
Yes they are patching at midnight. But its Central time. This is where there located is in the central time zone. So your not getting shafted.

/facepalm

Timezones man. Timezones.

12am PACIFIC = Normal downtime.

10pm PACIFIC = 1.2 downtime

12am PACIFIC = 2am CENTRAL

10pm PACIFIC = 12am CENTRAL

Net Bonus = -2 hours.
Look, we got four or five of the main characters on this ship. I think we're gonna be okay.
