Jakeswed Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) damned if the do, damned if they don't. "zomg why did you release this patch with so many bugs?" then "zomg why are you taking down the servers to fix bugs?" They can;t win. What the hell are you talking about? Unless it's something critical and gamebraking taking down the servers at primetime shouldn't be acceptable.

"zomg why did you release this patch with so many bugs?" then "zomg why are you taking down the servers to fix bugs?" They can;t win. I have no problem with them fixing whatever needs to be fixed, but I get cranky when they say "check the forums" and there's nothing there. Now this time, there is a terse post which is better than nothing but every week...down for main. check forums for details and they close down the whole thing! Okay, I'm done. Well, 'cept for wanting to know what's up, the reason for this in middle of EU's primetime, must've been something rather important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuschelmonster Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Need to buy a new gametimecard this saturday, but right now i feal like its not worth any cent to keep playing this game... Awesome game, but the company just keeps on beating its customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephane Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I know very vague and odd info...maybe its a major bug fix they want to do before CST peak time???? Which could be regarded as evidence that European players are second class then. Not that I actually believe that but in these moments I can see how some can come to that conclusion.

Kubernetic Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 What really blows is I was about to embark on the final mission of my Chapter 1 Trooper story... and then SERVER GOING DOWN IN 5 MINUTES.... AAAARRRRRRRrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distracted Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Random maintenance doesn't usually bother me but... Doesn't Bioware pay people to communicate these things? I would think so considering it said to check the forums for information. I could be wrong though, I know some industries pay people to pretend to work all day while doing nothing. Bioware, can I work for you guys as a CSR? I too would like to get paid for doing nothing. I promise to work really hard [at doing nothing] for you.

tattyhead Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 its not that they are patching again but they are not listening to EU players ...... how about patching during US peek time and see what happens...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolss Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have to say, I decided to unsub after this... getting outta hands now and I was already doubting to sub or not... ty god my sub ends in 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiJuanShenobi Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Really? This is the 2nd time in 2 days that I've logged in to play during the timeframe that I'm able to play and it's announced the servers going down and to check forums for details... ...Umm, where are these details? Lastly, What is SOOOO important to shut the servers down in the middle of the day? Bioware, can you not do this crap at 3 AM? From what I saw for the 5 minutes I was on, nothing was going on that was in dire need of attention. Then again, I'm not a developer or whatever so what do I know? Get your crap together so I can get my money's worth out of your product. k, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocketnerd Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 shutting the servers between 6 and 8/9 is pretty much eliminating a nights play for some people. so yes it is *********** annoying actually. guess the dogs will get a walk now and the girlfriend can a get to speak to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saetet Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I really hope they fix the error code 9000.. I would like to hit war hero this weekend.. and not crash out of 1 /3 of the games I play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkdrgn Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well, regardless of whether its an "emergency" hotfix or not, not giving prior warning to players as to WHY the servers are being taken down is very bad form Bioware. i would love to see you give someone "prior" notice about an emergency situation. "emergency" implies that it just came up. cant give notice to something you dont know about. its like getting hit by a drunk driver and claiming in court that you had no prior notice he was going to hit you.

Danjal_Veskandar Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Really, why are people complaining that they are fixing the game? And all servers are down at the same time so they don't get complaints about "that region got the update sooner than us" crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiebz Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 damned if the do, damned if they don't. "zomg why did you release this patch with so many bugs?" then "zomg why are you taking down the servers to fix bugs?" They can;t win. No kid, they are doing a patch in the middle of a Thursday, normally patches come during schedules maintenance which happens to be the same time each week. This is off of the regular schedule - In the past BW has said that they would only do emergency patches if a particular bug was being exploited and needed to be stopped immediately. People are curious as to what bug was being exploited today to make them take down the servers and patch it - get it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chayut Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Work all day and come home to "maintenance" with no information about why and no notice. It is disappointing and really not a great customer experience. Bioware, please do better with regards to communication to your customers in the future.
