10pm downtime? Really?

Why are we still talking about this? It is irrelevant. They never said they were giving us 3 days. Does anyone have a source for a concrete 3 day window?

Depends on the time zone you're in. Eastern time is getting it whoa early Thursday morning. Europe is getting it on Thursday. Also, the tweet said USUALLY they give 3 days warning.

So what they said is true... from a certain point of view. (Thank you, Obi-Wan!)

I wouldn't give a rats... if they had turned round and said "Servers are going down in 1 hr for major game update.. log out, go get a life and we'll see ya in game in 8hrs time.... I personally would of given a "hell yeah" and slept happy dreaming of UI customisations....

Though I guess I have to accept that if BW had done that on Thursday then there was likely gunna be a flamefest from players who had to suffer panic attacks and fits / shakes after not being able to log in after the 1st hour of downtime... where'es the paper bag when ya need it most!


And danggg I just realised.. we're unlikely to hear back from the OP before this thread gets closed... its the Primetime apparently.. may the Force Guide you through your hours of darkness and anxiety on Thursday.... until the sun rises once more or the servers are back up.. which ever is sooner on the West Coast

Oh, and for the record, this is just good TV!

Personally I'm *********** pumped for this update , and I don't give a **** when the downtime is I have plenty of other things to do.

Then you sure have selective memory. Wow and SWG were never consistent and neither were any other MMOs I've tried. I really don't know why we are bothering to reply to your deliberately baiting questions.

technically, we had a week+ notice. they said last week that it would be out this week, so yeah.

anyway, as others have pointed out, they did not say that we would get three days notice.

It seems to me the everyone who is saying stop your QQ, just login when the servers are backup, are lucky enough to be in a position where they can wait it out. If the OP is just complaining about 2 hours of lost time and then can just login when its done and continue playing, then maybe they should just learn to relax a bit.

However you have to remember that not everyone is in this situation and scheduling something at a different time to its regular occurrence, which takes away some enjoyment / relaxation they get once a week, you have to understand their frustration.

And to those who say don't arrange your life around a game. I think this is a bit of simplification of what happens for some. I don't see anything wrong with organizing your week to include some gaming.

I suppose this is getting off topic now.

Like I said before, I wish they would keep the scheduled maintenance to regular fixed night, which usually do, I don't see why 1.2 needs to be different.

They must be really positive that the patch release will maintain that many more monthly and 3-month subs.

I wasn't going to let the upcoming patch sway my decision on whether or not to re-sub; I guess now I can be extra critical of it.
