silkforcalde Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 are you really that stupid MIDNIGHT IS NOT PRIME TIME. prime time is usually when most people gt home from work, have dinner then go to bed, MIDNIGHT IS NOT PRIME TIME. im going to have to track some of these people down and tattoo that on their heads and you guys can take all the screenshots you like it doesn't change the fact that 2am cst is the quietest possible time they can do this. seriously guys your eroding whats left of my faith in humanity. 2am CST is prime time in asia, ans down south east asia australia. those are the places in the world that 2am cst is prime time. you do know that prime time is not when 100 people are on its when thousands and thousands are on. now if they did this like 5pm CST I can understand your constant droning on about prime time a phrase you seem to cling to like its your blankey No, prime time means one thing and one thing only. The hours when the server has the highest population. Anything else is meaningless. This maintenance DOES happen when the server is at the highest population. If not even a bit earlier.

This maintenance DOES happen when the server is at the highest population. If not even a bit earlier. Part of the factor for that is Oceanic areas (where the game hasn't even been released officially as far as I know) joining US servers. If you look at local EU and US players this is not prime time.

Anything else is meaningless. This maintenance DOES happen when the server is at the highest population. If not even a bit earlier. Again, if you're on Swiftsure of Harginger, thats because thats where all the oceanics are where it is actually their prime time. I have about 6 toons on a west coast server that usually gets heavy. Ive checked, at 2am central its still only standard/light so its certainly not that server's prime time. The only time it ever hit heavy at 2am is on weekends.

Muanthuun Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I work until 12am CST, and like to play at night before it shuts down. Why arent these updates done at 4am-6am? Dont give me that crap that it interrupts with the Europeans...make them their own servers then. This is BS and it needs to be addressed! BW does not cater to the minority. I am in a similar situation, but I do not mind. It is for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not even a bit earlier. and you magically have all the log in numbers from through out the day for a few days from bioware. you magically were given the logs. you don't think bioware have those numbers you don't think bioware picked it so that OVER ALL not just your small area but around the world. i know that's a big ask for you to think outside your area but there are other places on the planet that this time has on average the least number of people playing SWTOR ACROSS THE BOARD, that there are other servers in the US that might not have magical lots of people playing. or that your server swiftsure i believe may be oceanics filling it up which come march would rather have local servers. and leave totally removing your magical high pop times ? a few screenshots from when ever there are lots of people on does not make a log of players on make so don't even bother as i wouldn't trust the screenshots anyway.

It's for the best after all is taken in to consideration and I want continued subs to this game so I can enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could round that out to maybe 5c per hour? Netting you a 10c refund for the two hours during which you couldn't play tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Githern Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 What you are actually paying monthly for is not just content, it's the maintenance of said content. If this bothers you, you are more than welcome to buy a single player game where nothing needs maintaining except your own system and enjoy yourself. Otherwise, expect to be inconvenienced once in a while. You are not a share holder, you are not special, you are a single player within the community. And while you may think that to a company every single person should matter the truth is if it were treated like that the servers would fail because maintenance would never get done. Get off your high horse, get real with yourself and realize YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL! Everyone else is experiencing this at the same time. Get over it or get out. Thank you.

Really? and I was told to go to bed because I am up playing at 2AM...even though I work until 12am CST. Like I said before, if you get off work at 5PM, how would you like your precious server being taken down at 7PM every tuesday and randomly every other day?

Molongo Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 dude not everyone get's home at 12 from work, there are gonna be people online at all times, and in this case you seem to be the victim... why not sleep early and wake up early to play?

You sit there preaching out your nonsense to us when in fact that not how a company operates. Most companies care for their customers opinions, unlike Bioware..

I said "I asusme most 9-5ers go to bed by midnight". Or something like that. Yeah, I'd be annoyed, but as long as the reason was an emergency I'd deal with it by jumping to either WoW or Aion. Or spend time with my bf. Or watch tv, or even get some schoolwork done. Actually, it going down during my prime time owuld probably be beneficial Edited February 2, 2012 by Clova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thereisdwarf Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I agree!!! I am from CST, and 2am is very early. I feel bad for the PST people since its at 12am for them! And people of European server should have their servers reset closer to early morning for them. I understand that MMO's launch and require lots of patches, but weekend patches at 2am, and patches every other day are getting tiresome. Saturday 2am, Tuesday 2am, Thursday 2am....
