Maitenance during APAC primetime... again..

Yeah, pretty much, but it would still be nicer if they sorted their QA bug release policy instead.

True.

Does anyone know if the servers will go down to fix the things that this fix broke?

This might be to fix the issue with crafting people are QQing about. But downtime QQ, QQ? Lets QQQQ cause QQ is QQ fun.

What do you know about my job? I have morning free and work in the afternoon, so try again you'll be luckier.

Exactly, I fail to understand how people can build their lives around a game and then cry like baby's when it goes away

Yeah this is just needless whining.

They do not use the PTS, if they did then stupid bugs that are game breaking would likely get caught.

Check the sig, I have counted them up. Might be off 1 or 2 but I doubt it as I went down the list twice.... just like Santa and I find Bioware has been incompetent.

I doubt it very much, as every MMO I have played to date has their maintenance window after 4am Central. If I had to guess they do it at the time they do it for their own convienence since BW has shown a very large lack of concern for the playerbase. Sort of reminds me of the dev team pre NGE-SWG.

Since you are making up numbers your opinion is voided from consideration

I have not built my life around a game. This is what I do when I get off work, it is my relax time. No kids, no wife, all the daily chores done and a long *** shift at work dealing with the idiot I am forced to work with out of the way. Some people go home and watch some crap reality TV show, Some go home and **********, I want to sit down and chill with a fun game before bed. I pay for it, and I want it. I have in fact dropped TOR for this reason already once and will do so again if BW can not change policy or provide a really good reason why they are screwing the pooch so often.

It's just the way it is. Sorry.

Some important things to consider when talking about APAC Prime Time maintenance.

- We already deal with Tuesday's. That's fine. Its one day a week we lose, we plan around that. Thursday however is a main raid night for most guilds. My guild had 3 teams running on Thursday. We're looking to change our times now so we don't have to worry about this on Thursdays but that doesn't solve the problem.

- We are the lowest subscriber base. I'd say we're more than 1%, but I doubt we'd be more than 10% on a good day. Minorities suffer in every society until someone stands up for them. It wasn't THAT long ago that African American's had to sit at the back of the bus because they weren't white. Should I have to miss my playtime because I'm not American? Andryah, I had some respect for you until you said that we should suffer because we are the minority.

- It's only 2 hours and most of us HAVE a life. That is what makes it worse, we don't want to waste time waiting for the server to come back up. If its down, only 1 person on a raid team has to make other plans and 7 people miss out, regardless of how long the maintenance is. Similarly, if the maintenance is an hour into a scheduled raid, you can't really run until the end of maintenance, up to 3 hours after it was meant to start, at which point, why bother?

- Short of adding APAC as another game environment, the launcher does not support different server versioning as you update and authenticate BEFORE you select which server to play on. Personally I have no issue with adding: APAC, NA, EU and PTS as different environments at potentially different game versions, but I also only play on one server. Other people may have an issue with that and it may give rise to different issues.

I would like to thank Bioware for its great timing, the servers go down as Im heading to bed. Keep up the excellent work.
