DaRoamer Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Because it is. The U.S. servers are the largest by far. This isn't rocket science. It's not about you. It's about doing what is most convenient for the most number of players. And they are doing the opposite. They are? There are 9 European servers, 3 APAC servers and 8 NA servers. Seems like you're making up facts based on what is best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suntaru Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's only a problem to a rare few who have complained here in the forums. and Yes I am one of the US players on Pacific time, so don't try including me inyour rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rageborne Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The expansion release isn't for several days. It's irrelevant what time of day the servers come back up for "early access" ... taking servers down during the primary hours in which working adults are able to play is the height of stupidity. You are incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewintelamon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Those of us who live in the Southern Hemisphere have to put up with the servers going down in prime time every time there is maintenance. I'm sure you can cope with it as a one off. Try learning how time zones are calculated before you post. Eastern to Western Hemisphere would have a time zone difference, as time zones are roughly every 15 degrees longitude, starting from 0 degrees longitude (Prime Meridian, from which GMT is calculated [which got its name from the fact that the Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England....but I digress]). Southern Hemisphere would have the same time as its Northern Hemisphere counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelther Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Realise that there's more countries in the world, not just US. For Europe the maintenance time is perfect. We're sleeping during this maintenance and the expansion will be live at 8 (UK time) in the morning. About time we got a maintenance that's more suitable for us.

philrowen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I hope it doesn't take too long to download the 2.0 update. WoW let users pre-ownload the bulk of Cataclysm weeks before it was released so they could hop on right as the servers came up. Most of the heavy assets like sound files, texture, art, videos etc can and should be available for download well prior to launch so that the installer only has to fetch a few deltas on launch day. You can download the patch now, while the servers are still down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkWyndre Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 You can download the patch now, while the servers are still down. A pretty significantly large download ... so of course it has to be done now. just lol really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Moonshadow Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Servers going down at prime playing time for maintenance and update? Yet another reason other mmo's *cough*WoW*cough* have thrived on the subscription model ... they realize not to take the servers offline during prime time. What an incredibly bad decision... I actually called the first few people who told me the servers were going down in 90 minutes trolls because I mean really ... how stupid does a company have to be to take their game down for prime hours? Pretty stupid that they want to make sure that the game is up and running smoothly so you don't come here complaining that your Sith keeps falling through the world and eveytime you use an XP boost, your character turns into a floating green square. Seriously, dude, they just want the game run smooth for you. You can live without SWTOR for a night. Go read a book. Or watch TV. Log into Facebook and poke a friend. Something else besides wasting your time complaining that you can't waste your time in a video game.

jamesvasquez Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 This is probably the dumbest complaint I've ever seen. I'm a US player. I have no problem dealing with the downtime. How do you cope with things IRL when they don't go the way you want? Do you QQ then too? Or do you suck it up and deal with it, like an adult should be capable of doing?

Aode Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 This thread is hilarious. One evening causing a troll-splosion of anger from our topic starter. It's a Monday night, not a weekend. Now I'm not ignorant, and know that not every single job has a work schedule of Monday - Friday but if you didn't see a patch coming today when '5 day early access' was posted WAY back in January...then I don't know what to tell you. And has anyone complaining stopped to think about the lack of patch that's going to be needed come Sunday? And about the server numbers? NA being the highest pop? If I were to assume off blind numbers (Which I'm sure most are doing) that's what? 12 servers to NA's 8? There are more non-caring or positive thoughts on this thread then negative as well. Broad generalization would lead me to believe that most people took a shower, ate dinner, and went to bed non bothered by the evening down time of ToR.

Cran Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ahhh, I feel sooo sorry for you whose servers have gone down in your prime time...
