10pm downtime? Really?

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.

Nope. 4th or 5th.

And in the other MMO's I played, the downtime was a consistent day, and a consistent time.

So you could schedule around it.

Every Tuesday I get home from work right bang on maintenance time. You know what I do then? Literally anything else in the world. I managed to wait until the NZ/AU release to play; now that I've got the game, I can go one night a week without server access - even if it is sometimes the only night I'm free.

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 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.

I don't think you quiet understand what I'm saying (or I don't understand what your're saying). If Tuesdays was the only night a week you could play, then you wouldn't be playing very often. So assume you can play other nights of the week. You are right if you can play anytime then one night a week shouldn't be a big issue.

My point is that saying its only 1 night get over it, doesn't fly for some. 1 night downtime off the regular schedule is good as saying we have a week of maintenance. Image the QQ if they came out and said that.

I'm sure you won't be the only one. Can't wait for those threads.

Yeah, that will never happen.

In fact, they said as much, back when they moved up maintenance from 2am to 12am. Basically it was a big "screw you" to anyone not in Europe, East Coast or Central time.

Now, they are doing it again.

And I bet it'll stick this time, just like it did last time.

Then, when patch 1.3 rolls around, it'll get bumped to 8pm Pacific, because you know, that's the end of East Coast Prime Time, and that's pretty much all that matters.

I just end up laughing now. It's like some sick joke. LOL.

They won't release it!
They're holding it back to artficially inflate subscriptions!
They're incompetent!
They can't get it to work!
More broken promises, BioWare!
ZZOOOOOMMMGGGG THEY'RE TAKING THE SERVER DOWN A FEW HOURS EARLY TO IMPLEMENT IT...

Ha-ha he-he ho-ho ho-ho...
