Fed Up With Weekly Downtimes

Do you actually have anything constructive to add? Or is it you just like to try and browbeat other posters who do have relevant issue to air? You sir are a troll of the lowest rank.....

On topic, maintenance times are becoming a show stopper, loading times are crippling pvp entry into warzones, patches are breaking existing code and the subsequent additional downtime has no mitigating defence.

Euro and Aus/Asia players are being dealt a rough hand by the persons responsible for scheduling the updates, it's about time they shared it fairly with the largest whinging nation on earth i.e. their largest player base. We could all then sit back with a beer and watch with glee as these forums fill up with discontented US Players. Oh the irony

Excuse, me I'm going to go put some Hot Pockets in the microwave, then I'll be back.

This thread is very entertaining while I wait for the servers to come back up.

Thanks, everyone!

Servers up...enjoy the Hot Pockets.

I really enjoy SWTOR. I've been playing since release, and I've been very patient with these weekly maintenance downtimes. Hey, it's a new game that was probably released a bit early, but it's been out a solid 4 months now with no sign that they are going to start scaling these back.

I'm a West coast dad with 3 kids and a wife. I don't start playing until 10 - 10:30 pm on the 3 nights a week that I let myself play. Unfortunately, one of those nights is Monday night which falls on their schedule every damn week. And with my luck, another night is Thursday which also had maintenance last week. Very frustrating indeed.

Anyone know why they require weekly maintenance times? This is my 5th MMO (DAOC, WOW, WHO, Rift), and none of the others were down like this. And why can't they start it in the wee hours of the night at say 2 - 4 am? Midnight is still relatively early.

Anyway, as much fun as I'm having with SWTOR, this maintenance is close to chasing me away. Has BW given any indication that this is a temporary deal, or is this maybe not the game for my schedule?

what the Op might be getting at is the idiotic global maintenece times...no other game i have played has that kind of global down time

WoW had split maintence for EU US and oceanic afaik and that how it should have been....the extended maintenence they had a couple of weeks back ruined a whole day for the EU subscribers...game was down from 9am CEST(CST) till 11 PM....afaik the EU server park is in Ireland or something so BW should be able to reschedule it to fit EU Timelines

and WoW before i quit actually had maintenance once every 2 weeks(unless there was a needed extra maintenance for a patch or something) 1st week patch and maintenance 2nd week just a regular server restart that took max 15 mins
