Another Downtime tonight 13 April ***

You are aware that the game started in the US yeah?

Before you jump down my throat, you should know I am an Australian and this is my prime time just as it is yours (I assume). I think if it were an option to take servers down at different times to please everyone they would probably consider it. Lets face it, the market is a majority US market, they are a business, they would be dumb to give us, the minority, preference over the majority.

I actually doubt that they cared at all what time they did this, it seems as though it was needed although in my limited experience of the game post 1.2 I saw very little that was wrong, must be lucky I guess.

so that they don't inconvenience the majority in the server time zones.

Oceania is one of those server time zones.

The man was right.

If it's unacceptable then why did you agree to accept it? Not to mention after a major patch it's very common to put in much needed fixes. Usually by hotfixing but that can't always be the case.

Funny how people defend it, I imagine a lot of them are either from America or Europe stuck in work without a care in the world for the downtime as it doesn't effect them. Go stick to the maintenance period for 2 months right bang in the middle of prime time for North America or Europe and watch the uproar on the forums. If I recall yesterday or the day before, there was a long thread from West Coast people unhappy about having the servers down at 10pm.. now imagine what it would be like having them down from 5pm-9pm on a Friday night?

PS: I'm actually from the UK so not too badly effected by this but I do feel bad from those of you down under.

I understand what you are saying, they are a big business and the timing of these things reflects that.

Down during dinner then friday night pub time? You clearly can't be from the UK if you think that's a bad time

So much QQ on these forums just cuse the servers are down for a few hours ^-^

fun to see how many of you that are afraid to go outside and live you lifes at the computer :P

do what i do servers down = call a friend go shopping and eat at a resturant or something then log on the forums from a ipad or a laptop to lol at QQ threads

I'd go outside and get some sun right now but IT'S NIGHT TIME AND ALL THE RESTARAUNTS ARE CLOSED.

Btw Orange is the colour of nicotine.

Go choke on a latte.

Well i see it from the bright side of the game and of course from the side of the actual player.
I know their is frustration about that Bioware update when they think it is good and i know
this is kinda allot since the launch of this game and even after this new patch 1.2 they did a
maintain to clean the mess up on the latest patch.

For player view is this really anoying, cant make progress on every character or progressing
at HC flashpionts or raids. I can even understand that people leave cause the miss things that
are on WoW. For example: Looking For Group.

So back again on this topic, it is frustrating but it is just 8 hours.

It is a new game.... so give them the way of making the game only better and let the patches
come what they do (they will even we don't like it )

See it also from another way, when Swtor servers are down.....you can play WoW for abit


.

they do a global maintenance because the game is global so when they split maintenance they are affraid that european players invade Amercican servers when it's downtime in europe.

But i don't think it's so hard to split the server farms and avoid that players join other servers. Add an option to choose server location when creating an account can fix this.
