Karkais Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Being european myself, I could not care less about the maintenance hours as I have to work during that period of day and am unable to play anyway. Reading in the forum is another matter... I dont know about you, but last week the maintenance/problems logging in - extended well to when Im back from work. Roughly to around 8 pm. The US and European servers should be separate and the maintenance should be managed so that its nighttime in both regions.

sekitosekete Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I think there should be a list of 'things to do during maintenance' this week I will do the following - go to my bank and fill out a report for a lost account book - make copies of my diploma - write applications (at least 5 so I don't have a guilty conscience ) - call my insurance and ask for a new pension ID - buy hair dye - burn my school books - groceries - practice Spanish vocabulary (olé olé olé) - take a nap that should be enough - practice Spanish vocabulary (olé olé olé) -----> Topical cheap, we do not say ole ole and we dont like bullfighting(just a crap topic... like italians like pizza and peperoni or like germans like mustaches or like englishmans like tea) U guys on USA like weapons / wars /.... ? CHEAP topic YES ... next time try not to offend. I could write a perfect Castilian/spanish(like u say) but u dont not understand it (because surely you will learn Spanish/American) 2 years living on NY and i visit USA 1 or 2 times on a year(no offense anothers americans) And.. pls go to the world wide web and try search where are spain(because im sure u dont know ) Edited January 10, 2012 by sekitosekete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnea Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nopes, morning and early afternoon are not peak times. Many people are at school or work. OFC some people can play during the day and it's uncomfortable for them if that's their only play time. Guess how many more would be complaining if maintenance took place in the evening/night?

I'm sure my English is better than yours. I speak Spanish barely, fine. but may I ask how good your German is? or your Swedish? or your Hebrew?

Yfelsung Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'd take crappy maintenance times if I was lucky enough to live in like Germany or Norway.

owlinspace Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Does the OP think that no one in europe does anything during the days :S Having the maintinence at 9am GMT is perfect for us, since were either in school, at work or sleeping. In the morning is alot better than in the middle of the night in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoxerNL Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Schedule maintenance during the peak hours, that must really be a kicker. I would be down, to switch on and off for maintenance times. so they don't get screwed as often. Any other Americans agree? How about the Europeites? So 8am till 4PM = peak hours?

FantasyMeister Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Schedule maintenance during the peak hours, that must really be a kicker. I would be down, to switch on and off for maintenance times. so they don't get screwed as often. Any other Americans agree? How about the Europeites? I'm a Europeite. 8am-2pm my time is fine for a weekly maintenance, it allows me to grab 6 hours sleep during the week. It really doesn't matter when they schedule maintenance, a vocal minority will always be heard much more then the silent majority that don't care either way. Way I see it, if maintenance makes a game I enjoy even better, I don't care when they do it. And if Bioware think of their game as 'Global' and want to do global maintenance, more power to them for thinking differently, I'm sure they have good reasons to do so. The real problem with living in Europe is 3 designated server clusters to cater for over 30 languages. Whilst I'm sure East/West US servers have a few non-American speakers too, I don't think it's anywhere near 30 languages, which can lead to slight problems when it comes to teamwork. And the rain. We get lots of rain. TL;DR, Thanks for thinking of us, much appreciated. Edited January 10, 2012 by FantasyMeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuile Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 They need to split maintenance, if they keep the times the same even when we're 2 months past release then it's pitchforks out imo, maybe burn an effigy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
