Cesoir Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Hello dear developers! I'm a European costumer that inocently thought was worth the same as an American, but apparently I'm not. Why doest the maintenance periods always takes play time from the Europeans? Why not both? Why not make maintenace periods from 10PM CST (8PM PST/11PM EST/4AM GMT) until 6AM CST (4AM PST/7AM/EST/12AM GMT). You see where I'm getting? The previous schedule would be even more appreciated if the maintenance is made in a weekend like the latest one that kept the European players out of the game until 5PM... Seriously I'm starting to feel like garbage just to be European and I wont take much more of this... Best Regards, A very pissed off costumer. P.S. - If you dont change the time schedule of the maintenance, can I have a discount in my bill due to not being allowed to use the service I payed for, for 8h?

VandireUK Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I feel exactly the same, especially considering my days off are Tuesday and Sunday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornmonger Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Mostly because you were born in Europe. Sorry Mate. But in all seriousness: if the game developers were in Europe, the U.S. players would probably be eating a bad maintenance time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussircaex Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I realize it's probably a typo and/or English may not be your first language, but I can't resist taking this jab. Bioware doesn't like your costume design! That's why you're less valued costumers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liathan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 you know, I'd like to feel sorry for you, but considering US customers have had 7 years of this crap from blizzard, I don't really feel that bad for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangleknot Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wait, you want the maintenance times to happen when I (American) want to play?! Yeah that's a bad idea, In American we don't compromise, its our way or the Space highway Anyways keep up those socialist views where everyone pitches in... for greater good or something, and I'll just sleep through the maintenance since its on non peak hours :?

Batmanandahalf Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Umm start playing games from your own country? Does that not work? Do you know how inconvenient it is for me to not be able to play at 2 am? Fairly. I'm Nocturnal. I find it easier to be up at night and not have to deal with everyones BS. Do I care that I can't play one day, in the middle of the week, during the time I'm most active? Not really. Do I care that you can't play one day, in the middle of the week, during the time you're most active? Even less so. If I was playing a game from some european country and they took it down during the time that I play, you know what I'd do? Go outside. Go shopping. Clean my house. Learn to cook a new dish. GO. DO. SOMETHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaphik Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't think you understand exactly what "prime time" is. Unless it's brunch, then maybe I can see your complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpass Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 you get treated like this because your commercial economy is cheap and greedy. If it weren't then someone would step up and host European servers. But where are they? Hmm can you say euro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallSlumber Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I think it is fair, because all the major Europe based mmo's have downtime during our prime time, like...um....someone help me out here.

And it is not because we are cheap and greedy, Bioware is an American company last time I checked and this situation is in their hands, no?

Tsavis Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would guess it's probably because coming in at night and doing maintenance would mess up their working, and sleeping schedules for the week. It's actual people doing the maintenance not droids and robots that can work 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you need to convince a European company to pick up the rights from bioware. Will be really expensive, but its better than playing with lag that will never go away and a server maint schedule that will never be at a good time. Its just that they did not revalue anything when the euro hit so it will cost about 3 times as much to do it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
