Bioware/EA need to be aware they are going to lose subs over this. It was midnight local time and I was still pissed, I can only imagine how "happy" you EU players were for it to be the middle of Saturday, or even the Oceanic/Aussie players.

For BW/EA's sake lets assume there was a 'sploit fix. They need to at least put the fact that there is a 'sploit fix into the patch notes, which aren't being posted till after the fact anyway. We aren't unreasonable, give us a good reason and we will excuse the poor timing.

Very lame - can see European players unsubbing in droves rather than be treated second class.

So yeah, I'm looking forward to playing a game in the weekends I'm paying for. TBH, if any other company would deliver a product so badly, I would cancel it.

It's always the same; it's always America first, Europe second (and Australia third, but considering you're all convicts, it's your own fault).
So modern day Austrians are convicts. Let me know what School you went to so I never send my Kids there.

Well, they succeeded - sub cancelled.

See you on Monday.

While I understand these maintenances need to happen, it shouldn't be as long, and it shouldn't be on a Staurday during the day.

I'm a very tolerant person but this is taking the micky.

There is no way you've played a single major MMO and can say that. EQ/SOE was one of the absolute *worst* when it came to communication with the players. There have also been numerous others that have fallen to the F2P graveyard that have had worse communication.

Again, read what you sign people. Read what you sign. I could care less why it was taken down - fact is it was. Everytime I sign in, every time I have to hit that I understand the ToU, I know what I'm agreeing to. You can't be mad at someone else for agreeing to their terms without knowing those terms.

Seperate patch times would work if they were on seperate clients (like Blizzard's game) but they put them all accessible to all players so a seperate downtime doesn't make sense...even for a server side patch...Imagine if half the player base crashed and the other didn't...

Or half the playerbase could exploit a bug that wasn't advertised but the other half couldn't...Do you not see how gamebreaking that is?

the ONLY way you WOULD "KNOW" any of that about what the patch was for since they have yet to really tell us anything ....

is if you worked for the company and are shilling at the moment or your just an extreme fan bois to infinity and beyond

either way your posts in this thread are annoying as heck at this point and go beyond apologist and bioware cheering

Then nobody says anything.
