Maintenance times unfair to West coasters.

It was in reply to the OP who is talking about West Coasters. My first line is plain enough ... you can't please everyone all the time. They move it to a different time you upset someone else. That is the nature of things when you start to amass a great number of people: U.S. or otherwise. I'd have thought separate times for U.S., EU, and Oceanic would have been created, but I guess that's too much work.

And this is the self-entitled mentality that I laugh at whenever I see these post about maintainence.

NONE OF US ARE SPECIAL.

If you enjoy the product keep subbing, if not go away, the collective migration or your funds leaving EA's bank account will do more to bring about change then your collective belly aching about you being stiffed on gameplay one day a week. They don't work around your scheduel, EU's, NA's, ect... they work around their's. Deal with it or leave simple as that.

I live on the east coast and managed to put up with the WoW maintenance for 6 years that was based on pacific time.

Seriously, the get a life trolls have got it right here. You need to really get a life and stop whining about 1 day during a week you can't play your precious SWTOR.

2AM minimum has NOT been industry standard...just what reality are you in? I've played 18 MMOs now, with SWTOR being 19, and that is in no way shape form or fashion accurate whatsoever at all.

Hell even the Alaskan guy who has it start at 11PM for him says it's not so bad. Where does that put you?

Finally, no one gives a damn about your 21 degrees in Washington State. Boo freaking hoo. For the record it was 18 degrees here two nights ago, and the rain from the prior day froze. Do you see me crying about it on a forum? Noooooo..so why do you think that gives you ANY kind of vantage point or credibility?

Sorry but it doesn't. You're complaining about not being able to play a videogame once per week and getting all hissy cause people are telling you to chill out?

Take a step back and look at the situation and ask yourself who's really at fault here.

OMG. I live in Northern Alberta. It was -36 degrees Celsius a few weeks ago. Server down time happened to fall on one of our coldest days of the year. Yet the earth continued to turn and I managed to survive and find other things to do!

We go out in the middle of blizzard. Why because people still have to go to work, school etc.

OMG it is raining! The end is nigh!!!

you should cry more.

especially when all the devs are doing is fixing bugs and doing maintenance to the game that enables you to play it for the rest of the ~150ish hours a week.

edit - i love the other poster using the term 'mmo industry standard'. that amused me

Wha....? Pot meet kettle. I'm fully aware I can unsub if I want, as it happens I don't want to. Does that mean I'm not allowed to have an opinion on how much the system of a universal maintenance window sucks? Especially when you have specific EU and US servers, and soon to be Oceanic servers. If you want to talk about it rationally feel free, however you're just coming across as a Bioware Fanboi who thinks other people are not entitled to an opinion.

This. Maintenance times are going to be a pain in someone's a** period. Maintenance has to happen, deal with it.

Every patch day in WoW these types of threads would pop up. God forbid they'd ever have to extend maintenance. You'd think the world was coming to a fiery end by the looks of those posts and they continue here.

Blizzard's solution? They refunded everyone 50 cents (pro-rated amount of your monthly bill) on patch days so that no one had a right to complain.

"Game is down, we know. Also, you aren't paying for it, so your argument is out the window. Have a nice day."

I'd laugh if Bioware does the same to stop these posts every Tuesday (and Wednesday of this week.)

I'm an East Coaster and I think the maintenance time is absolutely perfect.
