They kept to their word, morning to early afternoon isn't considered Prime Time after all, people asked for this. I'm not the one whining about it, I am the one getting much amusement from the whiners though.

Nothing starts a morning like laughter, well that and coffee. It's going to be a good day, and my friend Woody in Canterbury agrees.

Well, it's getting clearer by the day that not only do BioWare not know how to handle a AAA MMO, they also don't give a stuff about their EU community. I was hoping to spend some serious time on this game, but week by week BioWare are gradually wearing me down, to the point where I'm looking at the next game that might be released and once again moving on from a game I enjoy but is let down by the developers.

I'm not unsubbing (yet) but I am resigned to the fact that the next half decent game to come along, I'll be deserting this ship.
Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space...

Not on the week end guys come on.... I don't really feel like any constructive argument is needed in this case. It kinda speaks for itself.

Which you so far often fail to do.

Second of all you really need to tone down your expectations. From day one you disregard any constructive feedback whatsoever, literally [self-censored] your customers in the face. The rage, insults and rude behaviour is the effect of your doings, so deal with it. Dealing with it by deleting posts and closing threads will only hurt you, as people need to vent their rage somewhere. They'll either unsubscribe or start venting on other forums, which are read not only by your current customers, but also the potential ones. That's how black PR works.

Third of all there is no constructive feedback to give in the subject of the maintenance system. It's obviously and carefully planned to cater your american customers disregarding Europe entirely. Server statistics show, that EU servers are a couple times busier during maintenance hours than the american ones. You could at least have the balls to admit it instead of feeding us with your worthless [self-censored] about "performing maintenance in off-peak hours". There's nothing worse than lying to your customers in the dumbest possible way and expecting them to believe it. We feel like you think we're [self-censored]. We are not. Therefore stop pissing us off with your pathetic lies and admit, that you don't give a flying [self-censored] about your european customers, which are basically half of your playerbase (based on server stat graphs). We'd have a clear view then, unsubscribe and watch your pathetic game crumble to dust while playing something we can actually play whenver we want.

Fourth of all today's maintenance was a bad joke. There are no critical updates in your patchnotes, I can see no fixes like "fixed an exploit, which allowed the attacking side to leave their spawn area before the game begins" or "fixed an exploit, which allowed players to run with the speed of light carrying the ball in huttball games". All I see are quest fixes and some class balancing changes. This could have been done any other day, but you had to pick saturday, which is, for a lot of us, the main part of the week we can play the game.

Last but not least you will not tell me how to give you feedback and I'd strongly advise you (trying to be constructive here) not to control the community on your forums like that, because that will only cause people to create unofficial forums, where they can flame you any time they feel like they need to do it. Accept the fact, that forum is a place you can actually check how the playerbase feels. In case you can't see it alread I'm going to give you a clear message: We're pissed off.

Shame I bought 60 days in advance.

The 4 hours are for reducing the number of kicks back to the character select screen.
Nothing else, according to the patch notes.

That's impressive.
I wonder what the server team thinks about doing an saturday morning graveyard shift for that.
Q: So, is there anything at all in the game that mitigates falling damage?
A: elevators

I finally understood that or your company policy is not give a good service to EU customers, or the European market does not care enough for you.

So i have canceled my suscription. I continue playing during 2 o 3 weeks I have paid and later....

It's a SATURDAY, the entire day is prime time. What world do you live in?

THANK YOU Kalantris for your beautiful post. It is true and it is words BioWare's TOR team needs to hear.
