Thats weird, They seem to think 11am-2am next day are Peak times for america.. hence why they start at 4am and finish at 10 am American time.

They think they can get away with 8am GMT - 4pm GMT Because SOME people are out working/schooling/other so that it kind of suits their time.

So to be fair to them they did try to cushion the blow on EUR, but it was still a strike that has hurt many people who dont have jobs/school to go to.

Got to look at it from All sides.

also if they change the times to midnight etc it will annoy a load of other gamers, so they cant really win
/sigh
/facepalm
/facedesk

is 4 pm GMT...7pm Moscow (think is the third time I mentioned that UK=/=Eu)...and if complication appears (which is expected but you go into peak times even more then) like last week when I got in at 9pm?

1. Look at the server status now. NOW. All US servers are light. All EU are standard, some are already very heavy. This will get worse in an hour, when most of the servers go heavy, very heavy or full.

2. There are different timezones in Europe ffs. There's even GMT+3. That means maintenance till 7PM. How's that not prime time?

3. Changing the times to the middle of the night for EU servers only will not annoy "load of other gamers", because we all know there NEEDS to be maintenance, only we know just as good, that 10-16GMT is pretty freaking far from optimal time. The best time to perform maintenance is 3AM+.

Yep, Bioware have managed to sh*t on the EU players again !

Off-peak ! ? ? ?

They're either stupid or they need to get new batteries for their clocks, cause having a maintenance that covers mid-day certainly ISN'T off-peak !


We're not retreating... we're advancing, in a different direction !

For me it actually would be too, I start work around about midnight.

BUT being fair and sticking to supporting the EU player base, the times Bioware are doing the EU mainenance is a freakin insult !

/facepalm right back at you; as I live in Holland instead of the UK. Subjectivity has nothing to do with it.

So 7pm in Moscow is bad? Usually that's the time people will have finished dinner so what exactly is the problem? What other alternative for a maintenance window do you expect to work; if not this current window during which most people are at work/school.

Personally I think you people are just complaining for the sake of trying desperately to find something to complain about.

How is a maintenance window during the time the majority of people are at work/school bad? And if it is, what would you think is a better time period?

I personally don't give a damn about you. Or myself. Or any other player in the playerbase. I give a damn, that around that time all servers go to light-standard status. You can see it both on NA and EU servers. Too bad you're in the minority. I also like to play in the night. Shame for me too. The important thing is that other people don't play around that time and they should provide service to majority of their customers.
