You should check your times. This downtime affects Americans too, just ones that don't work in the morning. I got up this morning to play and now I have to wait to the afternoon and by then I will be busy doing something else. Get your facts straight. Sure the morning isn't Primetime in US but my server is still standard during that time.

It's funny cos it's not like these guys are new to MMOs, most of them are vets from other failures. You'd think they'd learnt a few things.

Actually EVE Online has a daily downtime every day at about 1100 GMT.

So BW aint alone.

Plus there is the usual moans from the Oceanic players about how unfair it is and how EVE is dying and how they're going to ragequit.

Same old, same old.

This game has a hugh potential if the customer care was correct.
Maintenance @ european servers during day is stupid and frustrates 1000's of people that aren't able to play.

And saying: " oh it's from this hour till that hour" is just a stupid reaction because not every one got a day job so some people only might be able to play when the servers go down for a patch so the aren't able to play for a day.

When it's night in europe it's still day in the us so it can't be so hard to patch europian servers @ night CET because american should be working at that time following the comments on this forum.

Well at least you're not being affected, and that's what matters.



To you.

Exactly.

Just like every other MMO, and despite allocating servers to the Oceanic region, SWTOR has failed to figure out a way to patch at any other time than prime time.

Lets have a patch at 9pm Friday night for the majority of the Aussie contingent on the Eastern seaboard !

Your mediocrity is assured due to such scheduling.

EXACTLY, someone that can actually read lol and EU gaming websites are already smashing SWTOR / BW for it.

If I've got the times right (and sometimes I bugger this up) it's another 3 hours, yes. I'm giggling because I had the launcher open and was downloading this latest patch and it was locked up in the background. Restart. Gawd, poor BW, they can't win fer losin'.

FWIW, I salute the devs. it's mgmt. that I would like to have a wee chat with. Seems like they are kind of not quite getting how to run an MMO.

hey big complainers, how about put up your thumbs in your asses and shut the **** up, eh?

did one of you EVER worked in software development?
appearently not, because you would know that this is not easy at all.
and.. how about getting a real life and *********** go to work and stop *********** crying because you can not play a game at 10 am?

bioware is (surprisingly) doing a good job in patching things, and if its the next day then this will have reasons, don't you think?
maybe you all should do something useful in the meantime and take a *********** shower, eat, shop or clean the house.

or.. just get the **** out of the game. how about that?
