Satanski Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The day after 1.2 is out and another 4 hour downtime is coming in, we are currently paying to never have access to a game, due to maintenance every 2nd day. I understand things need to get fixed but this is just unacceptable. Yeah, im sick of BW. I dont want their *********** free month. I want them to take this **** offline for a year and fix it.

JRonnie Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Since when is Friday the weekend? Sat and Sun is the weekend. Don't be deliberately obtuse. Most people I know say that the weekend starts at the end of the workday on Friday. Friday night when people don't have to go to work on Saturday is obviously a prime gaming night for raids and other guild events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberres Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Am I mistaken or does the down time start in 12 min? Why doesn't Bioware add Regions to it's times? Like the servers will be back up, at 1 pm London time, 2 pm Paris/Berlin. How hardd is that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says 9pm AEST which makes it 8:30pm my time, so in about 8 mins time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the servers will be back up, at 1 pm London time, 2 pm Paris/Berlin. How hardd is that?? They've got 5 different time zones posted. If it's too difficult to figure it out from there, do what I did - add an additional clock to your Date and Time on Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The day after 1.2 is out and another 4 hour downtime is coming in, we are currently paying to never have access to a game, due to maintenance every 2nd day. I understand things need to get fixed but this is just unacceptable. "Never" is a bit of exaggeration. And I fully expected this. Big patches usually result in small patches to fix things that got borked by big patches. Whilst frustrating (and eating into my primetime) it is the way these things go. 'Sides, I'm already sulking over being "disloyal". Don't have the energy to get all cranky 'bout more downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RixoFutu Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 You would like game which nobody gives a crap about? No patching, no more content? Seriously? I dont think so. So give BW time and be glad they still workin on it, hard and for us and our 15 bucks every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suromir Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Of course its not every second day on the calendar but thats the way it feels due to alot of players probably not able to play every day either so when it does come to weekends and the odd occasional night, especially for us Aussie players it destroys our primetime YOUR schedule is NOT BioWare's doing, fault, or problem...if the downtime makes paying not worth it. Stop paying. but your accusations and ranting shows lack of forethought and an oversight of the big picture....They're not here to cater to YOU.

DieAlteHexe Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Do it at night, not at freaking 1pm. Think about this a sec. Code hit servers just 24 hours ago. Apparently something was borked. So, people have managed to get this fixed within 24 hours. That's pretty good and I'll wager that some of 'em pulled either a late-nighter or an all-nighter. I'm gonna respect that and whilst I would rather be playing the game, I'm going to say: Doods/Doodettes, thanks for getting on it so quickly. ETA: Gonna also add that I'm sure that the folks who worked on 1.2 are tired and probably a bit discouraged that their work (which I think is pretty good overall) is being overlooked in the wake of the "loyalty" business. Mgmt. buggered it. (but I'm still sulking 'bout being "non-loyal" ) Edited April 13, 2012 by DieAlteHexe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity cause Europe sold more copies and has a bigger customer base then America yet they STILL don't get it. #@@$ WoW took down servers at seperate times for Americans / EU, dunno why Bioware can't, useless!

MoltenRog Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not all of us sit at home all day and can play like that, i work have a family & other commitments, seems like every time i jump on to play servers are down AGAIN. Just infuriating, can BW get nothing right You sound mad, Isn't it amazing that I live in england, and let's be honest if you're working and you have a decent job and a family to look after, what are you complaining about im sure you've got it better then most other people plus 8.99 per month or 42£ every 6 months cheap as chips, is really nothing when you earn that back in a days worth of work ore even a week. pce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brovito Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) It's just ridiculous to arrange all patch times for USA. It might be more player at that region but company should respect other continent players. It's not hard to start patch time for regions. It's middle of the day at my country and I won't be able to play 4 hours. Thank you for that. Edited April 13, 2012 by brovito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merwanor Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I don't mind them fixing issues with patches etc. But could Bioware please have different maintenance schedules for Europe and the US. Kind of annoying that everytime there is maintenance it is the middle of the day for me. I thought these guys where professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmileyD Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 i'm just happy they took the servers down at 7am edt instead of 3am edt i hated getting home from work to have servers come down lets hope this becomes the norm as far as time of day goes great job as far as that goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoA Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) been 2 updates in like 2 weeks, stop crying. Spent 9 hours downloading the patch yesterday because of my awful internet, I get on for about 2 hours and now its going to be down for 4 hours + a further 6hour download probably for me, if anyone should be moaning its me and i'm not, so think yourself lucky.

I agree, BUT, it was bad enough they brought the patch in yesterday so adds to another what was it, 8 or 10 hour downtime? Then they bring it down again today.... and normal mait also.. why the hell couldn't this be down on normal mait day? ALSO CHANGE THE TIME SCHEDULE FOR EUROPE RETARDED BIOWARE!

QuackNate Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I woke up this morning about an hour before my alarm clock went off. I thought, "Hey, now would be a good time to smash through some Black Hole dailies." I didn't consider the servers might be down again right away, but there it was. KInd of . I get it though. They probably had to fix some exploit to keep us honest. = *It's 6am here. Lol at 12pm post time. Crazy time zones.

Stop paying. but your accusations and ranting shows lack of forethought and an oversight of the big picture....They're not here to cater to YOU. Actually they are by right of providing a paid for service. If it was F2P, you'd be right, but as this is a paid for service, its expected that they treat all customers equally, and with consideration. There is a lack of equality at the moment with the biased behavior being in favor of US customers. This gives the customers the right to complain, and get angry. It may say in the contract we agreed to that EA/Bioware may take down the service for maintenance, but exact times were never stated in the contract.
