Mizuchi Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Can we please just give BW a break? They created this awesome game... and though I agree it's poor timing, if they want to put in a patch, they have every right to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technohic Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The games majority staff is located in NA. They work by the common business hours of the geographic location where they are located. What company in their right mind would pay people overtime to install a patch in the middle of the night? Further, patches are likely not staggered because if it is an exploit then it will be posted with the patch notes when the patch is applied allowing the users who have not patched to exploit!!!! To the Euro player base, I am shocked at the behavior. How can you insist "Americans" are "insert derogatory inflamatory words here", when you are posting such garbage and whining like children! Im sure the majority of the Euros claiming negativity about "Americans" have never visited the North American continent. You are acting with narrow minded bigotry and are a disgrace to your respective country of origin. I'm betting these guys are salary as most IT like myself, and trust me; no one ever pays me overtime for doing things after hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuradipel Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 what I am interested in is why a hotfix takes 2 hours to deploy? Does every server run a giant databese that takes an hour to shut down and an hour to start? Or do the servers suffer from the same issue that the players without SSD have? going off to play with the cats now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorwinCorey Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The problem here is that it looks like you are saying that free player are more important than paying customers. Please, next time an "emergency" like this happens, split the patching time and let EU players play the game they pay for. Patch times are always going to be the same across the board on swtor. Here's why: Plans for future stuff include things that allow inter-server interaction. Like cross-server pvp warzones, as an example. This means every server needs to have the same client, at the same time. Unless EU players would prefer not to participate in shared content like that, or shared gtn etc? Patch times will always (unless a terribly important emergency) be scheduled like this at off peak times for the -entire playerbase-. If you want to be higher on the priority list for that... meaning they would make north american prime time a lower priority than eu prime time... then there needs to be more players from the eu. It's a matter of offending/inconveniencing the least number of players. Simple math. It is not a "screw UE plot".... it's a "lets annoy the fewest people possible. For the record, as a chronic insomniac, my playtimes are always the ones interrupted, by every patch, heh. but that puts me in the minority, and I just have to deal.

Coogihat Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 'I want to make more money so I will inconvenience you to make more money'. That is what BW did here. Very human. I don't really like it because it affected me personally, but I get why they did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legolegion Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 to guy from bio-ware, who is going shut this thread down. Please, can they give us an explantion as why its always the eu time that is spoilt.

Saurakk Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 LOL the irony is so strong on this one. RAWR I want to play now...how DARE you bring down my server! But for doing that I am never going to play again! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathDiciple Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes! They will keep ignoring European players untill we decide to leave. We all live in america.. we all live in america... sing it!! Haha don't expect them to recognize it. But seriously, as much as reg maint time annoys me I somehow doubt this has anything to do with EU times at all. Probably emergency thats related to some oddball exploit with weekend trials as well, they wouldn't be doing emergency patch out of the blue to actually make players exp better (tho better now than mid weekend still....)

shegoy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Guys there is no exploit fix being done they are shafting us paid subscribers at the moment so they can cater for non subscribers to the game i.e offering a free pass to play for the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjSnazzyduds Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Whoa so you lose 2 hours out of gaming big deal. This "Paying Customer" argument is old and lame. You pay like everyone else, so you aren't above the law. It's $15 bucks a month, you distribute that over a month, practically paying cents a day. Money must be real tight for you to complain over a couple cents lost of game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genne Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 all these people wanting free time, days and even a week.. grow up.. you pay cents an hour to play, you dont deserve a week for losing a few hours. i would say if anything, give us something in-game.. like boosting every ones rested time.. something like that I do not know if you are watching latest news. "On many servers wind blows at empty fleet stations." And this move only pissed of folks which PAY. This all will only speed up the inevitable F2P mode.

Leiox Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Adorable how the kids QQ about a 2 hour maint, just because they have to be in bed by 9pm. Yes 7pm-9pm is peak hours for us europeans, but... its. two. friggin. hours. I could somewhat understand if it were a 6 hour maint, but this isnt..

ArmyBoatie Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 So let me get this straight. It is EU peak time? (LOL) So I guess when I want to play, even though it is 3pm here, it isnt "peak time" for me? Since that is when I can play due to my schedule. Damn BW. Now you arent even thinking about the 3rd shifters in the US. LOL......its down. It will come back up. Get over yourself. I think it is relative to when you want to play is when it is peak time. I bet there are EU gamers that dont even know there is maintenance going on. Cause they play in the morning or aome time. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomipoika Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 yea just rember thay patch a game to make it better and faster for players so if you are haveing a cry about it better it happen now than when your in a hm fp Do remember too, that they also patch a game because its BADLY made.

KorzenK Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well like I said, to be fair to our EU brethren, this is an absolutely RIDICULOUS reason to have maintenance during peak times. The whole reason for the patch is to help their recruiting efforts this upcoming weekend -- that's a big pile of junk IMO. I totally understand where their rage is coming from at least. Something to consider, why do you think the problem they're fixing for the 'free weekend' players wouldn't effect all of us. If the bug happens to cause server lag that will impact all players equally. Very unlikely any bug or issue that effects the F2P folks won't effect paying customers. We're on the same servers.

Siino Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 As a Raiding guild its already hard to keep our current members interested in the game due to lack of content, and you ruining our 16 man OPS cos of "This patch is necesary to ensure a good experience for all players during our Weekend Pass Trial weekend." (and yes people do try to be there on time and rush back home from work etc.. ) I think more and more people will cancel subs and give it another go at 1.2 release .. starting with me..

Possumkiller Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 my goodness all this complaining about 2 hrs of down time for something that is going to make the game better. Its not like the game is going to be down for a week.It will be ok 1 more hour and we can play again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luggypm Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The games majority staff is located in NA. They work by the common business hours of the geographic location where they are located. What company in their right mind would pay people overtime to install a patch in the middle of the night? A company that wanted to treat the customers evenly. We're paying [minus currency fluctuations] exactly what the US players are paying. But we're not treated the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
