Alquist Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 So much QQ... it's two hours people cheer up. Go drink a beer or something that's what I'm doing. I think i'll take your advice, though it will prolly be vodka instead of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saitada Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) So much QQ... it's two hours people cheer up. Go drink a beer or something that's what I'm doing. I would drink a beer except... I am out and the stores don't sell after midnight here. Plus, I've already had a cpl so... i'd have to walk (I refuse to drink and drive, even if I have only had 1 beer) and well... I'm too lazy to bother even if I could pick up a 12 pack LOL.

Himeji_Endless Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 meh. I live in Hawai'i so while I am normally up to play, I get Maint as well. Kinda sucks for me so I feel your pain. I'm Hawaii too ... sitting here thanks to BW's screw up ... again ... amongst other things ... like the recent rash of DC and endless loading screen ... which they will promptly blame on the customer (its NEVER the game's fault) /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofuwic Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) So much QQ... it's two hours people cheer up. Go drink a beer or something that's what I'm doing. I can't speak for others, but as a developer who works in an environment with strict deadlines and deployment schedules the QQ stems from the fact that BioWare reneged on their scheduled maintenance time and then only "corrected" the forum entry 6 minutes after we'd received the server shutdown message (heads would roll if developers tried this where I work). I personally don't care that it's two hours of downtime; I'm glad there is stuff being done - I just wish they'd have followed the correct processes in notifying us.

Amlici Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 So much QQ... it's two hours people cheer up. Go drink a beer or something that's what I'm doing. Yea we had just got everyone on team speak and had just settled into an op though. Hard enough to plan these things at the best of times on my server now we have to re-schedule again.

I had a BW drone tell me it was probably a setting on my computer. By the time I was through with him he was sputtering and backtracking and apologizing. Hard to blame the computer when this rig ONLY gets used for SW:TOR and forum trolling and the only update to it was a patch from SW:TOR. No issues prior to the patch but issues after the patch ergo, it was their patch. It also doesn't pay to try and tell me it's my computer when I build the damn things and know exactly what is on my system and what it's doing to the nth degree.

Telling people the times have changed six minutes after seeing the fifteen minute window is just pathetic and stating the obvious. Communication never seems to be a strong point when it comes to things like this, however when it comes to new cartel items... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeJagoff Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I won't even get into the fact that you EDITED the original message about the maint from 10am CST to pretend it was 5am the entire time. That does make me lol a little bit, "Nah, you guys are crazy! it was always 5am cst!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLeee Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 the computer when this rig ONLY gets used for SW:TOR and forum trolling and the only update to it was a patch from SW:TOR. Well there lies your problem! Forum trolling is against the forums EULA and EA/Bioware has the technology to go inside your computer and change your setting and mess it all up! So yes, it is your fault!! STOP TROLLING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prysha Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well there is so many negative posts about what bioware did in the last weeks, and they keep going to make their customers unhappy... do they want us to leave? just curious what the intend of all this is... do they even notice that most of us are unhappy with their service?

Blackardin Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Welcome to BioWare's mindset - they are US based (iirc) and so schedule things accordingly. No appreciation for the European community whatsoever. LOL. When has anything, or anyone in Europe done anything for the US, centered anything around the US, done anything but complain about the US? Honestly, what I'm reading here sounds like the rantings of a spoiled child. Its a US game. US players are the bulk of their income, yet you want them to down it prime time America because you feel entitled? Feel lucky that you have access to this American game, period.

TwelveofFifteen Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 At least we aren't like the poor people over at Lord of the Rings Online! They haven't been able to get on for 24+ hours!! But at least we get communication from them, 250 TP AND a whole day refunded(for VIP and Prime) I doubt EA will give you anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinth Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 For people like myself that get a 3 hour window of game time each day this sucks. If most of that time is spent with game down AGAIN for the fourth time this week during the same window, yeah I'm pissed off. I want to play the game not write on the forums. If I had unlimited time this would be no bid deal but I don't. This from a company trying to get you to sub and not be on preferred status. Way to go.

There is going to be a whole lot of Americans waking up this fine Saturday morning to see that there will be no maintenance in the middle of their day. We are good with that. ;p .....and we won't let you cackling people screw up this game like you did with, say, football.........Australian Rules Football.

I don't recall anyone saying anything about downing prime time US. You've obviously never heard of a staggered deployment. Also, considering that this game was designed to accommodate other languages and that the European servers are based in Ireland, your claim that it's an American game is hogwash.
