Why do you guy's think that only Australian's and New Zealander's play on APAC server.

I was apart of the second biggest guild on Dalborra until recently, and they were a mostly singaporean player base.

for europe maintenance is during working/school day, so i figure you are either on the dole (then u can use that 'free' time tp find a job) or you are home sick (then try to rest a bit).. tbh, why complain, i've played this other mmo and they had maintenance at about the same time, never someone complained about it, only here, seems like this is the dumpster for people that 'have to' complain about every little thing.

This is getting beyond stupid. So many 2+ patches a week over the last year. It is just.... sloppy Q/A.

I wish they would just come out and announce a specific day and time that "unscheduled" maintenance occurs. For being "unscheduled," as they claim, they sure do seem to "schedule" them for the exact same time. The day is the only difference.

Bioware, since this is now a regular thing, please pick a day each week that this "unscheduled" maintenance will occur on so that we have concrete details to decide whether to continue to play this game or not.

Thanks.

It isn't only Oceanic and Euro players. Do they think the whole U.S. west coast goes to bed at midnight? I don't even get home from work most nights until around 10pm and after dinner and talking about our day with the wife I might be lucky to be ready to log in by 11-11:30.

So every one of these maintenances is like a game breaking bug to me. They have been the only reason since launch that I have ever been unable to play. No bug that they are fixing has every been so bad I couldn't log in for several hours, and hence causing a lost gaming night.

How is it that this is the only MMO out that has the least amount of players at midnight pacific time? (thats the reason I usually see for why they pick this time)

While, in theory, I agree with you it doesn't really solve our problem. We'd still be the group who always gets to wait out maintence instead of playing because for me this is my "evening". It's not bedtime yet due to my work schedule.

They need to spread the love, so to speak. Let some of these guys who say it's fine because it doesn't effect their playtime have a little taste.

I feel your pain! I am in central time and work till 1am, home around 1:30 leaving me 30 min of play time. I have no idea why BW can not deploy patches to fix their screw up at a later hour like 4 or 5am central like nearly every other MMO I have played has all their down times set for. My guess is they just do not care what is best for the playerbase, only themselves. I left the first time due to these multiple down times in a week and I may consider being gone for good if BW can not get this crap fixed. It would be one thing if they actually used all the tools at their disposal, but they do not.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you didn't think this would be the deal coming in the door you didn't think things through.

I gave up on the Oceanic servers when there were 11 people on the fleet. Now waiting for player transfers to bring across the SI I made there.
