Runeshard Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 This is what happens when you release a beta to a million people. Have you played any MMOs at launch before... or any MMOs at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaveymellow Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 i understand we're less than a month into launch, but seriously? servers are going down AGAIN tonight? i've patched 6 times in the past 48 hours. my free first month might be the extent of my gametime if this **** keeps up Wish I had got 6 patches in the last 48 hours. I only got 3 maybe my game would be running better. Which 3 extra patches did you get, I got 1.0.2, 1.0.2a, and 1.0.2b. How do I download the others?

CygnusMX Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Guys! I can't play the game while i'm asleep this is bs! Bioware fix this! Yeah I may as well get out of bed and take a nap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanzul Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm all for fixing stuff. But, it would be kind of nice if it didn't take three tries to get it.Three nights in a row is a bit excessive. And the purely personal side of this, the patches are happening at the only time I have free to really play. I really do like this game and despite all the problems there are with it I see some potential here. However, I would implore Bioware to ramp up it's efficiency with development and application of bug fixes and patches. I can't see how three nights in a row of; "Darn! Hold on a second guys, We've got it this time. Erm....No? Okay... what happens if we do this? Did that fix it?" is optimal use of man power, time or cost. Just my two cents.

CygnusMX Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I dont think there is going to ever be a good time to do a patch with out conflicting with someones schedual, that would be like trying not to get wet while you stand in the rain.

Bioware I have had enough of you fixing and making this game more enjoyable so that it will be a strong contender in the MMO market. Don't you understand that if you take the game down for a few hours during a non peak time, that me and this guy above will never, ever have another opportunity to play, ever again? Me and this guy are totally going to cancel our subscriptions if you keep making this game better. That will show you! P.S. Sarcasm like a boss!

trumpsofdoom Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) So it would be so great for BW to shutdown servers for 3 days in a row at 6-9 pm cst just so all the people making fun of the op for asking for his game time not to be inturpted multiple times a weeks for minor fixes to the game can rage on the forums about down time Edited January 6, 2012 by trumpsofdoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Failure Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So lemme get this straight... 1) You hate Bioware for ignoring the game's bugs. 2) You hate Bioware for patching the game to fix bugs. Right, makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discotech Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 There are some critical updates that are required, just find something else to do in the meantime. It's either that or deal with exploits until Tuesday and then put up with another 8hr downtime, but everyone complains just as much then so Bioware can't win. I'd personally rather see them fixing things because I can fin something else to do while the server is down. Yeah because adding babynames to credits and fixing but not fixing emotes on vehicles are critical updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally rather see them fixing things because I can fin something else to do while the server is down. There are allot of people who's "something else to do in the meantime" is going to be "go play another game". Many of those people will simply choose to just use their gaming time for that day on said other game, instead of logging into tor to watch a clock for 2 hours then logging into another game and watch a clock till tor comes back up. By the end of this month allot of people are going to have a decision to make. If "the game Isn't even up long enough for me to play it" becomes a contributing factor in that decision making process Quite a few of our already nearly dead servers "5 people on hoth in prime time on hypersapce cannon" are going to become honest to god ghost towns. Fixing things is great. Unless your constant fixing makes the product unavailable every single day. Then you're actually breaking your game to fix it. Bit counter productive.

jndca Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 so, it's smarter to release a new patch every 6 hours than to wait a week and post a 100mb patch? i HIGHLY doubt anything getting patched tonight is too crucial to wait another 3 days. Fixing bugs is ALWAYS crucial. I haven't seen any game breaking ones but for those who do, they suck. fix them as fast as BW can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meurik Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 i understand we're less than a month into launch, but seriously? servers are going down AGAIN tonight? i've patched 6 times in the past 48 hours. my free first month might be the extent of my gametime if this **** keeps up Don't let the door hit you on your way out. I mean seriously... First you write "I understand we're less than month into launch", and then you still manage to go ahead and bash Bioware for actually trying to fix things? No game is 100% bug-free at launch, and MMOs are especially subject to this. But guess what? Things get fixed, things get better. It's the nature of MMO development. If you can't put up with a few hours downtime, once in a while, then perhaps an MMO is not the right place for you. Go do something else while the game is offline. Read a book, watch a movie, go outdoors. Don't need to bring your grievances to the game forums, when it's pretty much par for the course that there will be downtime/maintenance from time to time.

Syleal Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) People aren't complaining that they are fixing bugs you morons. They are complaining because the servers are down during their peak playtime hours. Not everyone lives in EST/CST. I love how all the fanboys ignored this post. Being a player from Asia, I can vouch for this. I went to school today, hung out with some friends, went to the gym and came back home, so don't say I sat here all day. It's 7pm now and I still can't play. This is worse for the Aussies and Kiwis because it's 10pm right now for them. I understand that SWTOR came out a month ago, but eventually they should alternate maintenance times so that Europeans/Asians /Oceanic players don't get the shaft. We want to play too EDIT: I can play now nevermind. Edited January 6, 2012 by Syleal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grihas Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think that the installation time of updatings for Europe and America should be different, because when Americans sleep in the beds, Europeans in fury from this updatings, as they spend their time for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
