In my 7 years of playing MMOs the one constant has been that there is almost always a patch the same week after a major content patch. Every single game I've played has the same issue.

I have therefore adjust my play time accordingly and tonight I shall be enjoying the beta of another game instead.

And in my years of playing various MMO's, the developers generally release those patches early in the week in order to try to avoid having to bring the servers down on the weekend.

My issue isn't the time of night that they bring them down. I'm used to prime time downtimes being in Australia. It's that this is the third time Bioware has brought them down on Friday's and Saturday's whereas it's never been an issue with other MMO's I've played, regardless of whether a patch has been released.

Fridays and Saturdays are generally when we organise guild activities like raids. It's when most of us are on. I have expectations on downtime which I don't think are unreasonable. Bioware isn't meeting these expectations.

Since when is Friday the weekend? Sat and Sun is the weekend.

I think it's fairly normal to have a hotfix after a major patch, as bugs are to be expected with those. The problem isn't that, but it's that Bioware needs a stunning FOUR hours to deploy a hotfix. That's seriously too long. Most MMO companies I have had business with could do that a LOT faster.

I understand things need to get fixed but this is just unacceptable.

Don't be deliberately obtuse. Most people I know say that the weekend starts at the end of the workday on Friday. Friday night when people don't have to go to work on Saturday is obviously a prime gaming night for raids and other guild events.

Am I mistaken or does the down time start in 12 min?

Why doesn't Bioware add Regions to it's times? Like the servers will be back up, at 1 pm London time, 2 pm Paris/Berlin. How hardd is that??

Well it's not too hard to convent. It says 9pm AEST which makes it 8:30pm my time, so in about 8 mins time.
