Fed Up With Weekly Downtimes

Second. Problem is not the frequency of maintenances (that is perfect IMO) but its globality, should be US at their night, EU at theirs night and Oceanic ant theirs.

it is likely they dont do that so one group wont say that the other gets preferential treatment..

if they instal the patch on american servers first they like america better etc

The way Blizz stagger their service times, EU always gets the new patch content before America. There's not really much in the way of complaints there.

there would be. trust me. considering how bad people whine and complain about the downtimes here.. there would be riots in the streets if one group got it first before the other..

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?

So you're saying the players here are less mature than in WoW? Not entirely sure about that.

Anyway I'm sure there would be far less complaining than currently about the downtimes. And it wouldn't be seen as bad customer service, which it is now.

The tone of the replies was expected, as it's the norm on MMO forums. Maturity level seems to be capped at 15 regardless of the age of the poster.

No i am saying that people here complain about the stupidest things ...constantly
