However, that being said, the servers will be up in less then a half hour. This means that they all came in early, pounded it out in less time so as to have the game ready for the Saturday rush.

I actually give them Kudos for that.
All kudos they gained is negated when you look at how they communicated with us. The end result is irrelevant if they piss off their customers with their method.

"Oh let's just edit, and hope they don't notice - not like they can do anything LOL!"

meh. I live in Hawai'i so while I am normally up to play, I get Maint as well. Kinda sucks for me so I feel your pain.

I can only hope they fix it, but i seriously doubt it. I base it on how ****** they have done so many other things. Like the codex... they seem to have given up on that one.
If it's the thing where you can use a rep item when you're close to cap to go a bit above the cap, then that's not a bug or exploit. It's mentioned in their Galactic Reputation article that you can do that: If consuming a Reputation Trophy would put you over your weekly cap, you will still be granted the full amount of points from that Reputation Trophy. http://www.swtor.com/blog/game-updat...tic-reputation

So much QQ... it's two hours people cheer up. Go drink a beer or something that's what I'm doing.

I think i'll take your advice, though it will prolly be vodka instead of beer.

I would drink a beer except... I am out and the stores don't sell after midnight here. Plus, I've already had a cpl so... i'd have to walk (I refuse to drink and drive, even if I have only had 1 beer) and well... I'm too lazy to bother even if I could pick up a 12 pack LOL.

I'm Hawaii too ... sitting here thanks to BW's screw up ... again ... amongst other things ... like the recent rash of DC and endless loading screen ... which they will promptly blame on the customer (its NEVER the game's fault)

I can't speak for others, but as a developer who works in an environment with strict deadlines and deployment schedules the QQ stems from the fact that BioWare reneged on their scheduled maintenance time and then only "corrected" the forum entry 6 minutes after we'd received the server shutdown message (heads would roll if developers tried this where I work). I personally don't care that it's two hours of downtime; I'm glad there is stuff being done - I just wish they'd have followed the correct processes in notifying us.
