yandars Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Is it possible servers will be up before the 8hrs is up? (they come on early sometimes correct?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhiroc Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've only read though about a third of the thread so perhaps it's already been mentioned, but to me, this is BW hedging their bets, for good reason. This is not some small patch, it's a major update. Sure, they planned for 8 hrs, but it wouldn't be unheard of for it to take 4, or maybe 10, or 12 even. So if it starts at 8am BST/9am CEST (which is 2am CDT) and is expected to go 8 hrs, then we're talking 4pm/5pm for a nominal downtime. But if it goes an extra 2 to 4 hrs, then they're well into Europe's primetime. That extra 2 hrs they're giving themselves would lessen the impact if it happens, and to me, that's good contingency planning--which is what any good engineer would know.

BucMan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 /sarcasm Well, apparently this post worked because the next patch is set for 12am Pacific. Whew. Don't know what would have happened had he not alerted the devs to the error or their ways. Heck, it could have cycled all the way back to 6pm Pacific had the trend continued for another 2 months. /end sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertSpark Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 But what about the people who play at 12am? The crying will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibonk Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hello! Since this thread is about the downtime concerning the deployment of Game Update 1.2, we are going to close this thread, as there is little room for further constructive discussion. Thank you!
