Dev Post EricMusco Posted May 12, 2017 Dev Post Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hey everyone! We will be taking the servers offline on Tuesday, May 16th in order to perform back end updates.

Details: DATE: 16 May 2017 TIME: 5:00AM - 9:00AM PDT (1200 - 1600 GMT) VERSION: N/A Thank you for your patience as we maintain Star Wars™: The Old Republic™!

GENXPS Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 *** BIOWARE is every Tuesday to be a maintenance day with no patch or content or class balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarf_ Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 So Harbinger will be down for 12 hours on Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRogue Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 *** BIOWARE is every Tuesday to be a maintenance day with no patch or content or class balance. Would be nice, IF they could fix the bugs/probs. Them going for month or two between bringing servers down in the past was crazy for an MMO. Should do like WoW. Down every Tues for maintenance & server resets. Clears up the bugs & issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLordSnake Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Or yet better idea... How about we shut down swtor for an entire month, nothing but maintenance all month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we take down servers earlier like we did in the past. Here is a example of one maintenance back in 2013. I think these were so much more convenient to your player base. On April 24th, all game servers, SWTOR.com, and the launcher will be unavailable as we perform scheduled maintenance. Game Update 2.0.1 will be implemented during this downtime. Details are as follows: Date: Wednesday April 24th, 2013 Duration: 5 hours Time: 2AM PDT (9AM GMT) to 7AM PDT (2PM GMT) Edited May 12, 2017 by Resputin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took up my WHOLE Aussie evening. So. Like. No. For the love of God NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. I miss central *standard* time because it meant 12am my time rather than 10 pm. But I can handle 10pm. Not going to pay for a game that's always down on Tuesday evening from 5pm until whenever. It was usually midnight. So no. Please no. I can't reiterate no enough. And yes I put that in the reason you're leaving space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarbuch Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Maybe they are trying to recreate the Harbringer database corrution issue on all servers this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulzz Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I have literally wasted 3 days on your meaningless maintenances that do NOTHING. Why do you keep doing them? Why is there no damn compensation for us subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JattaGin Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Are you maybe testing new possibilities for cross-server queues and such? You figured out a way to do it, but have to test it very thoroughly first to ensure it really works? Please oh Mighty Ptach let this be the reason for all the maintenance downtime lately.

Good to be hopeful, but the way servers are dying out and with win10 update glitches that swtor hasn't fixed, I think this is very low on the "road map".

Tarbuch Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 After each of these 4 hour backend maintences the servers perform slower than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebamcfan Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm bit confused on GMT-time: It says it begins at 12 GMT (I live in GMT +2, British summer time +3), so the maintenance should begin at 14 GMT local time here, but then, the last maintenances have began at 15 GMT here, instead of 14, if the time difference is taken into account. I'm wondering that is the time wrong, like should it be 13 GMT (+/- 0), or does it really begin at 12 GMT (it would be 14 GMT/2 pm here then) or at hour later since we're in summer time?

Andryah Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 how do you get 12 hours it is 4 like always come on people quit complaining and enjoy the game His snarky comment was based on last weeks experience, when the servers were down for maintenance for 4 hours, came back on line a few minute earlier then stated, and then Harbinger did a slow roll into the full belly up death pose. That said, I agree with you that people need to just chill. Most times maintenance goes as planned, sometimes #$%@ happens and it takes longer.

dr_mike Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Last week's maintenance started at 13.00 here in the UK. So should have been 15:00 for you. This is why we were were trying to get them to include one of those "What time is it in my time zone when it's 'x' time elsewhere?" links in their posts. Tait did it a couple of times but for some reason stopped. Example: Start: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx?y=2017&mo=5&d=16&h=12&mn=0 End: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx?y=2017&mo=5&d=16&h=16&mn=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has not been the recent experience with SWTOR downtimes, Harb last week spiraled to death. Last patch was extended by a large amount, whomever replaced Keith in the server maintenance team seems not up to the task given. The server performance seems to be deteriorating after each backend maintenance. Each patch seems to break more things that is fixed in them.
