Until about 7AM when I get ready for work. Sadly this seems to be the only time ANY MMO can find to do maintainance. I just wish once in a while they would change up the time of day, and make someone else's life a pain for a change. Just sayin'.

you really think you will get your cubes back? Or do you think you will have to put in a ticket to restore it after the 4 hour useless maintenance?

If your auto mechanic destroys your muffler while performing an oil change, causing you to bring the car back, do you congratulate him on fixing the muffler? Or do you ask why they touched the muffler in the first place?

As far as gamebreaking, here's a little hint...it's no less gamebreaking than you having to log off the game for a few hours.

If you think 3.6% is gamebreaking, you don't play a Arsenal Merc--when you're damage output is down 25% and your armor debuff and heat signature are not working only for BW to say everything is "working as intended" then come back and talk to me...a week at -3.6 is NOTHING, certainly NOT GAMEBREAKING

Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be one of your strong points--I said THE GAME GOES DOWN AT THE SAME TIME I GET HOME WHICH MEANS I LOSE ANOTHER DAY'S GAMEPLAY FOR A BUG WHICH IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM GAMEBREAKING--I PAY TO PLAY FOR 30 DAYS, AT THE VERY MOST I GET 26 AND FOR THE 3D TIME IN 5 WEEKS I AM GOING TO LOSE 2 DAYS IN A WEEK...is that clear enough for you?

And of course you are deeply embedded in the TESO develpoment process to be able to bring such a statemtent to the forums...... care to divulge some of your facts to support this claim... just because BW took an unfinished engine and hacked it around to to the point it can't really be called a hero engine anymore and cutting ties with Simutronics in the process... iirc there was a nicely written statement from Neil Harris COO of Simutronics relating to this.... hopefully TESO will have had more sense and kept Simutronics even closer than a phone call away... but until you have tested it, played it. lived and breathed it... you know nothing, excet what the doomsayers and scaremongers like to write about it --- No different to what is written about any and every game that gets developed / launched.

Nope, my reading comprehension is fine, I just don't care about your issue or your Merc. And clearly you don't care what I think. I've already stated I would be willing to lose a day of play to fix this. Everybody is being affected by the bug. Not everyone is affected by the downtime. So yeah, we'll just have to see what happens I guess.
Bargain not with the darkness, in time it will take us all.

I don't actually even use my Matrix cube. But hey, fix it for the people that do. I don't mind downtime.
