Armourboy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Check system alerts first before forums, tells you how long there, 2 hours http://www.swtor.com/systemalerts Its not so much the amount of time, but why? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLightningLord Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) They expect the servers to be available again at 9pm?!? what the actual ****, tonight is the last day of the mrs's friends trial and we planned on finishing korriban and then doing black talon. Sigh.... can't this maintenance have waited until tomorrow? Oh God... oh no... they don't plan their downtime around your schedule? THE HORROR! In all seriousness though... it's not that big of a deal. Edited March 15, 2012 by TheLightningLord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napeh Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Obviously there is an exploit and they have to do it asap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadshackles Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 It must be because Bioware hate Europeans. There is no other logical reason I think of. It is impossible that there was a problem that required a restart. All signs point to Bioware hating Europe and its inhabitants. Bioware is clearly racist and geographically prejudice. That is all it can be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgoldsack Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 It would be really nice to know what they're trying to fix that takes 2 freaking hours of downtime... oh no servers are going down it is the end of teh world I want my $0.082 worth of time credit! My goodness people ***** and moan about anything. And yes, I am currently in game and playing and so the downtime affects me... but it doesn't bother me at all.

Fizbanic Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Primetime EU and they choose to restart now. For a lot of EU guilds raids will be starting in about 45min People whine and complain when things are broken or throughout playing get broken, and when they need to fix or something comes up that can make gameplay well unplayable you folks whine and complain again. By the way, at anytime they decide to choose pretty sure that some guild(s) would be raiding and just not the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaspark Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Oh God... oh no... they don't plan their downtime around your schedule? THE HORROR! this would be an appropriate response if: 1. This was actually the scheduled downtime 2. This was actually some time late at night, when normal people are asleep However, because this is unscheduled maintenance, AND prime time for a large majority of players, your sarcastic response is completely unnecessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 $10 says its an emergency fix for the hardmode stealthing chest farming "exploit". Hopefully those doing that, whatever "that" is, get a lot more than 2 hours downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniversalFusy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Seriously they have maintenance times 1 day a week where they can apply patches for this amount of time. Plus more information should be put on system alerts to state why they called a sudden shut down to the game servers, rather just say its going to be down for 2 hours. absolutely unbelievable during peek times.

Charliesangel Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Typical, they had all day to deploy what they need, but noo, lets do it in prime time raid night/thursday.. Thx Bioware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantrels Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well, a dev just posted the downtime was due to the necessity of installing a patch. Of course, there's no detail as to what was being patched or why, but there is a post at least now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienciacho Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 well let's hope it's just a fast restart but... 1. The info says "check forum" but most of the time when servers are down FORUM IS DOWN TOO! Like, developers, seriously? Trolling much? 2. Having twitter as a main channel to announce situation is ******* insane. It's like making me tank on Shell to get home and play "just becasue". And no, by not using twitter i'm not retarded or otherwise inferior to other customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarffSodius Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 lol had so many guildies unsubb due to the silly patch times it aint even funny. Being that this game has that damn Blizzard title to contend with, you would think that Bioware would at least try and listen to the community a little more. #waytoscrewEUagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 oh noe. the natives are restless. Heh, too tired to be restless. I'm just curious as hell as to what caused the need for this right now instead of waiting 'til normal maint. Like was speculated, probably fixing some 'sploit.

Anthya Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nah, they're just bein' fair. Next time it'll be the U.S. and then it'll be Australia's turn. Right? It's Australia's turn every weekly patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
