Mezla Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Oooooh, they just edited the patch notes to make it not JUST about the free weekend, lol 1.1.5d Patch Notes 3/23/2012 General Implemented changes to improve overall server stability. PvP Voidstar Players will no longer be able to exit the starting area earlier than intended. http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/1.1.5d/3232012 I think I just worked out why these take 4+ hours... in the last 30mins it has gone from patch 1.1.5c (with just the changes under 'general'), to 1.1.5d (now including the small PVP change)... they couldn't seriously be doing agile development during these maintenance windows could they... are they on a 1hr sprint cycle or something? hourly scrums? (this just gets more insane the more you look... best to avert your eyes I think). Yeah, sounds pretty fake alright. I love this game, but in times like this I wish BW crashed and burned hard. That way someone who are not a bunch of complete ******* can pick SWTOR up and run it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkneeds Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) If you haven't realized, a major issue at the moment is the lack of player population within servers. This marketing ploy, The Weekend Pass, MAY bring in new players or bring back old players. IF (because I cannot read the future), IF it does work out, we may have an increased number of players to play with/against. No MMO is fun if you're playing alone. This MAY bring in some players. They have not once discussed the problem with low populations within servers, but this Weekend Pass may be a temporary fix. So yes it very much has to do with our game play. More players = More fun even if the new players are noobs. They'll get up there if they choose to stay. yer well i don't care. I pay for the game now as does everybody else. I PAY to PLAY not pay to be offline to boot some trail freeloaders. What are biofail thinking, Edited March 23, 2012 by darkneeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foch Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Subscribers will be angry one way or another. No matter what time they choose to do maintenance, as was stated before, the world is round, so someone somewhere will still miss out, prime time is no longer a set time between specific hours. Prime time is considered ones personal time to play. Pick an hour, any hour, someone will still be hurt. They SHOULD implement these changes regionally rather than globally but I can't fight the fact that this is how they are doing it now. I have a Scroll of Resurrection sitting in my e-mail too dude lol. Soooo tempting, but I experienced Dragon Soul, meh, Dragons are getting overplayed. Some of the stuff showcased on MMO-Champion looks reaaaalll interesting though . THe more news that comes out about Pandaria the more interesting that expansion is looking! and how doesnt want to be a drunk Brewmaster Panda hehe The quicker Bioware bring up the servers the quicker we stop talking about Warcraft hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaugbelly Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The wait would be so long that it would amount to a complete lockout for not only the time that the EU and US servers were out, but also then any down-time that the AU servers would need. Eeek! . And how is that any different from what is facing us this evening? At least i'd be in a queue to get on the server. As it is the server is out completely.

Shingara Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Seems this is to fix a big bug in pvp see peeps can now chill, and all i can say is.... Everything you think you know baby, Is wrong. And everything you think you had baby......Is gone. Certain things turn ugly when you think too hard and nagging little thoughts change into things you can't turn off. Everything you think you know baby......Is wrong It's all over but the crying, Fade to black I'm sick of trying. Took too much and now I'm done. It's all over but the crying Do you really think I'm made of stone baby? C'mon! That we only love the things we own? Baby you're wrong Certain things just happen when you make no plans. And love can really tear you up and it can break you down. Everything you think you know baby Is wrong It's all over but the crying. Fade to black I'm sick of trying, took too much and now I'm done. It's all over but the crying Baby we're done If I could I would, I'd change everything ,Cause I can't forget you though you don't believe me, Now I can't walk back, I can't leave behind ,Where does it go all the light that we had? Everything you think you know baby, Is wrong. And everything you think you had baby Is gone Baby we're done ! It will be back up soon and chill Edited March 23, 2012 by Shingara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArranH Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Being an EU player, playing on the US realms, this maint ends about an hour after I wake up in the morning, right in the middle of my 3 day weekend, so it suits me well (it's 10:26am here right now). What fits for some doesn't fit for others, remember the game is not region locked, and the world is round, there are many more people than just those in your one time zone. Also, does anyone know what the patch includes, as it doesn't say maintenance anywhere, it says patch in every post the CS bots have posted. Do none of you read the previous 50 pages of this thread? It isn't about the need for maintenance, its the fact it seems to be done most of the time (I hear, I've only been subbed for 5 days) during our peak time. We're just suggesting either having the maintenance period moving each time so everyone gets a turn at being annoyed, or rolling it out region by region.

Shoo you pest. It is in the ToS but is still annoying. Just like if a government raises taxes. Annoying but they can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelstromicus Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 You can't "stagger" emergency patches and fixes, and I realize something may NOT constitute an emergency to YOU, BUT it MAY be severely limiting to thousands of other players. FYI, if it's an "Emergency patch or fix", you don't get advanced notice posted - see Ambergreen's notice above. Therefore, it is entirely possible to stagger patches such as these. Unfortunately though OP, threads like this are entirely futile. There are simply too many fanboi's in here old chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just go and accept every game without reading that might stand up in the us where people a f'ed over all the time. I have to point out that has been challenged in the eu and Australia with said game company's settling out of court for undisclosed amounts. maybe you should Google it before you think the whole worlds is a state of America.
