DaSmokesta Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Silly rage post is still silly. It's not silly, its a service we pay for. How would you feel if you paid to have your car put in the shop at 10AM, and they tell you to be back at noon to pick it up, you show up, and now they are telling you 4PM. Its the same concept. We have the right to be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair, and im sure if this turns into such a fiasco it will happen again. I was just stating, as paying customers we have the right to throw a sith fit. BTW. Love the word play on "Sith" haha.

Eggsalicious Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Silly rage post is still silly. They're following the circle-of-trust-galvanizing precedent they set when they yanked rated warzones at the last second, but long after they suspected they might not be in 1.2. Nobody has a problem with extended maintenance, but waiting until after deadlines have passed to tell us that the deadline has been extended shows a blatant disregard for the time we budget to play. The OP is not alone in his discontent. ~Sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlgon Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 they have twitter, no updates until 4 or more minutes past their expected deadline, twice. they said it would take 4 hours then extended it by one hour, now its double the time they originally stated. They will lose subscribers and I am nearly one of them. It's poor work from a bunch of liars. They tell newspapers, tv programs and internet programs/sites that their fanbase is happy, we are far from happy as a whole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bioware says something is going to be done by a certain time it should be done by then, otherwise they need to give a time range or be more conservative with their maintenance time estimates.

If Bioware says something is going to be done by a certain time it should be done by then, otherwise they need to give a time range or be more conservative with their maintenance time estimates. They should have done this several times on a test server, and had it rehearsed to the point where they would know EXACTLY how long it would take. The whole "Its taking longer than we thought" is crap. When you update something of this scale, you need to know exactly how long its going to take, not leave it to chance.

vonklaun Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Since we are all up right now- I think it goes without saying that most of us have been patiently waiting for the maint. to finish so we could start playing again. Now- when you are waiting for something, then you see it's gonna be another hour (totally cool by me) and you wait said hour- and THEN after the alloted hour you've been waiting for- you find it's now been pushed ahead another THREE HOURS.... Um yeah, it just sucks for those of us who are waiting so we can play again. Do we have no life? Is this going to be the predictable pat response to us who wait for the servers to come back up so we can play asap? My opinion is that this situation sucks, and since this is the one freaking night I need to pull an all-nighter in a month, it's more irritating than it might otherwise be, lol.
