exrollex Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi everyone. I don't know whether there was a thread with such issue, but I think it's important to say. BioWare, please, divide the time of maintenance on USA and Europe servers! USA gamers could not notice the maintenance on servers such as Europeans. Cause on USA servers patches are instaled in night time. In Europe in this time there is a day. And it's very annoying. Think all European gamers will agree with me. Thx for attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeimp Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Unless they split the game into regions and have people buy the game the same way wow does, then it is IMPOSSIBLE to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What utter rubbish! Not it's not! Rift manages it just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible is a strong word, please explain how Rift does it with a single client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladydawny Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 This is definitely something that needs to be addressed. People working all week want to relax and enjoy playing the game in Europe too, however today we have a Saturday daytime maintenance. That is very bad for customer relations between Bioware and the EU customer base. Well I am a customer in the EU and I for one find it extremely annoying that the US customers are mostly sleeping when the patches are implemented, whereas on GMT etc. :(we really notice the long downtime. Please do something about this issue Bioware. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandax Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Even worse is them doing it a Saturday noon/afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, stop posting same crap arguments on all related posts to European servers patch times. The European servers are hosted in Ireland and last time I check the country did not move to American continents nor did it switch to PST. It's in bloody Europe and it should not be like this.

pokstair Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 While I agree that having planned-for server downtime on a weekend is an exceedingly bad move, the timing of server maintainence cannot please everyone in every timezone. At the end of the day, server maintainence timing has to come down to the question of "When would it be most convenient for the dev team to roll out updates and patches and make sure they are installed and working properly?" People need to stop thinking like their location or timezone is a privileged one and should be 'protected' from server maintainence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as a developer/team lead I never plan to patch servers during day time (customer zone day time). I really do not think that my location is privileged, but they should take account for time zones since they have servers dedicated to different regions.
