I love to complain. Sporadic downtimes kill my mood!

If this downtime is going to fix some of the exploits people use in PvP, i'm happy.
If not?
Wait until tuesdays!

Exploits? Yes, loads... Lag sploits, hidden cap sploits (yes they still exist, even though they fixed them twice?), speedhacks...

Off topic;
Concerning the hidden cap sploits. If a hidden character try and cap or plant (war zones), why not just electrify them with a 5 second knockback? That would teach them... ^-^

On topic;
Are there anywhere we can see what they are actually doing with the downtime? (patchnotes?)

Hellos..

Doubt anyone important will even pay attention to this post.. though I am agitated enough to post it regardless.

I am Australian, and I work for a living.

Like most, gaming is my hobby... it is what I do to unwind from work and real life dramas...

I get home around 5:30pm and it feels like more often then not, there is an outage right when I get home.

I am not against so many outages to get issues fixed, I would just like the times modified if possible...
even if the outage times started at 10pm....

fingers crossed the times can be revisited... (hope this was on topic)

Does anyone know what happened to the we will patch once per week schedule or is that Oficially gone out the window?

Quote:
"For our new players, this weekly maintenance is done in order to make general improvements and to check performance of the game so that we can continue to provide a consistent, quality experience. Quite often (but not always) after a maintenance period there will be a patch to download. After the maintenance, please login via the launcher to download the latest patch. If your launcher was open during the maintenance, you must close and reopen it for a fresh login."
i understand how things come up but for the better part of a month it has been twice a week if not more.

You know, BW, I appreciate the fact that you're trying to fix your bugs and whatnot, but could you please try limiting it to once a week. This time of night is the only free time I have as I work swing shift. I can deal with a set maintenance schedule but this surprise maintenance is kind of irritating when you think you're gonna log on and have some fun only to find that guess what, servers are down! Seriously.

I think I speak on behalf of ALL of the Oceanic players here,

maintenance has become so regular at prime playing times for us that it has gotten to the point of players ready to give up this game in hope for another MMO that can deliver consistency and reliability.

I don't want to rant, this isn't some warning, its reality, we will unsubscribe ASAP if this continues.

Concerned.

I'm in a small oceanic guild and the frequency of the downtime has been the nail in the coffin. Everyone's gone and are now waiting on D3 or GW2.

I just want to add that yes. Me too. Twice a week maintenance is getting pretty old. I generally play in the late night/early morning PST (i.e. 10p-2a or so) and it takes quite a bit of time from me. I realize the game is new and yes I would like it to work properly and yes I do appreciate that you are working out bugs and honestly I don't see many bugs and do see you guys taking care of them and yes I know this is a horrible run-on sentence but....

It seems like you're patching Tuesday and fixing the bugs from that patch later in the week MOST WEEKS...and it is, as I said before, getting pretty annoying.

That is all.
