This may be a personal first for me.

I can't recall any other time in other various MMO's where people complained about servers going down for a content update.

Complain that the content wasn't ready? Sure. Complain about the content itself, absolutely. But about the servers going down to add more stuff.....

The "SWTOR players are the whiniest MMO players I've ever seen" threshold may have been crossed.

Maybe. If not, then getting close.

Today is Tuesday. Tomorrow is Wednesday. It starts at 0001 hrs, CDT. So technically Thursday for you as well. They never said 72 hours. They said 3 days. So what they said was true... you know the rest.

As for the OP, sit down and shut up. There was no maintenance downtime on Tuesday this week, which means looking at the week as a whole it's only an extra two hours out of your time; two hours extra for a major content patch is not only acceptable, but completely reasonable.

Personally, I quite like having downtime during my prime time; it gives me the opportunity to catch up on the Funday Monday. Not a bad deal at all.
Note the difference, though. The usual maint. time does NOT affect him (he is a self-professed evening player) so he doesn't give a flip about all those it does affect but OMG, when it cuts into HIS playing time...time to get all freaked out.

Over...two hours.

Actually, before you start World War III, it appears to be ONE, maybe TWO Americans.

Put down the sweeping generalisation brush please.

Oh, I am in the EU so don't take a bite out of my backside please.

Well BW, OP demands that you move the long awaited 1.2 patch to exactly 72 hours from when you announced it'll be released.


Why?


Obviously- so OP can make another thread screaming and gnashing his teeth that the patch was delayed.

Surprise! The folk in the EU also work shifts or play during the mornings or afternoons as well. Hell, some of us are even retired.

But...most of us have grown used to the reality that this is an American based game on their schedule and losing a day a week isn't the end of the world. A day. Not two hours like Captain Grumpy, the OP.

It's pretty simple.
Such avid consumers should have read their "contract" (EULA) then before they entered into an agreement based on said EULA.

Bioware, not really fussed about your maintenance times, but please can you keep expected maintenance on a fixed night. It is not all that much to ask for.
Sounds like a friend of mine who is a Thursday player but their maint. usually (yes, 3 exceptions that I can recall) IS regularly on Tuesday. This is not maint., this is a long anticipated update/upgrade/expansion/patch whatever you want to call it.

You know that some folks would have exploded having to wait 'til next Tues.? Think of the mess!

Actualy i was on the tweet when he answerd about the three day warning. And what he said was we generaly try to give a 3 day warning but wasnt able to in this case.

But they never said i promise i will give you a three day notice. The only promise we got was that we would have notice. Wich we did.

And im one of the first to call them out when they need i. but in this case well its just not needed as they did what they said they would.
Live life with honor,And you will die with no regrets.
