ServerDroid Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) On March 18th, all game servers, SWTOR.com, and the launcher will be unavailable while we perform scheduled maintenance. Game Update 2.6.2 will be implemented during this downtime. Details are as follows: Date: Tuesday, March 18th, 2014 Duration: 7.5 hours Time: 11:30PM PST on 3/17 (6:30AM GMT) - 7AM PST (2PM GMT) During maintenance, all updates and additional information will be posted on our Twitter account. Thank you for your patience as we maintain service for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Edited March 17, 2014 by ServerDroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Bloody hell. Seven hours and a half...?! I'm eager to have a look at the patch notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Wow, haven't seen a 7-hour maintenance in a while... I think you messed up Daylight Savings Time, the end time should be 2pm GMT, not 3pm GMT. And the Twitter link is still broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Wow, haven't seen a 7-hour maintenance in a while... I think you messed up Daylight Savings Time, the end time should be 2pm GMT, not 3pm GMT. And the Twitter link is still broken. It's obvious the server droid opted to skip his scheduled weekly maintenance. Personality quirks are emerging and most likely Directive Seven will be reborn.

jasoneth Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The timezones are a bit messed up... did you mean Monday 11:30pm PDT (not PST) to Tuesday 7am PDT? If so, that's Tuesday 6:30am - 2pm GMT. What's there now is 8.5 hours long for GMT. I'd strongly recommend using timeanddate.com's event planner for getting times right. Essential when planning ops with a group across multiple timezones!

Reno_Tarshil Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 7 Hour Maint. I hope patch notes are quite lengthy but I won't be shocked if it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVengeant Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) I would hope the long time of Maintenance is because the Rakghoul is coming back.... And because Bioware is FINALLY going to fix these laggy servers once and for all. Edited March 16, 2014 by DarthVengeant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discbox Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Swotr, swotr, swotr... the sound of a new mount? I expect patchnotes like that: Corrected several typos in tooltips. Edited March 16, 2014 by discbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAlan Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Nice to see us Aussies get completely screwed over again, its bad enough when it goes off at 8pm, but now it will be off at 4:30pm, nice to know its more important for a handful of americans to play in the morning before, then let Aussies get a chance to play.

Fappa Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The link to the Twitter account for SWTOR is messed up in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea...the servers will be down overnight in America. Shame on this American company, located in America, to operate on American time schedules.

Darth_Wicked Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Look at those sexy Patch notes. What's so sexy about them? Seven hours downtime for that? Talk about overkill. EDIT: Correction: Seven hours and a half. Edited March 17, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaitWatson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Seven hours downtime for that? I can totally understand why the maintenance window seems long based on the Patch Note contents. During maintenance periods, we also have changes beyond updating the game - hardware maintenance, website back-end changes, so on and so forth. This is why the maintenance seems long vs. the Patch Notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirthdaySuitGame Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Fair enough, I'd rather hardware issues be taken care of during an allotted time rather then say, when they bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyssis Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 When will the new cartel packs hit? The insider said the last one will hit in april, which would mean that the one we can preview should hit live soon.. But the patch notes says nothing.., Do we have to wait another week?

DomiSotto Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I guess I get to sleep in on Wed. It's good that the game is maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrukPL Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 And what about "Conscript" title. It should be added in patch 2.6.2, but I can't see information about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Do you feel less silly now? Not really, since it was not a silly statement to begin with but rather an accurate assessment, which Tait was kind enough to address both here and on reddit. The joke - or silliness if you prefer - is on you over the fact you feel this basic need to seek confrontation at every chance you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I saw something posted about this last week which said the next pack won't be coming out until April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
