Morganha Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 10/22/2013 2.4.1b Patch Notes General All objects now update properly and become clickable when they are part of a mission step. This is all that was in the patch notes. The game needs to be down for 2 hours just for this? Kind of odd....Plenty more that could be fixed in a 2 hour downtime....just sayin'.

chuixupu Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Maintenance and a patch are two separate things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickious Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It more than likely it won't be two hours. Its basically in case something gets delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It more than likely it won't be two hours. Its basically in case something gets delayed. Yup. They have been very good at beating their ETA. Not that they do it every time but most of the time the servers are up well before the allotted time.

CrazyMcGee Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 There's a basic time cost to just taking the server down and putting it back up again, regardless of the time it takes to patch. It's like if you're at work and realise you forgot your phone at home. How long does it take you to grab a phone? A few seconds, right? But first you gotta get in your car, drive home, unlock the house, unset the alarm and then spend a few seconds grabbing your phone. And then you gotta set the alarm, lock up and drive back to work. It'll probably be an hour to an hour and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganha Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 No negative feelings about my post, either. Just interesting thing I noticed, is all. I will say, however, that Bioware's maintenance downtimes are a lot more convenient and quickly taken care of than most MMO's I've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaForce Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I thought they already fixed this or was it something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasynd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 something like that 10/17/2013 2.4.1a Patch Notes General Clickable mission objects throughout the galaxy now function as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never_Hesitate Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) I thought they already fixed this or was it something else? The previous fix worked for most quest objects, but a few are still broken Edited October 22, 2013 by Never_Hesitate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 10/22/2013 2.4.1b Patch Notes General All objects now update properly and become clickable when they are part of a mission step. This is all that was in the patch notes. The game needs to be down for 2 hours just for this? Kind of odd....Plenty more that could be fixed in a 2 hour downtime....just sayin'. Well, lets see here... Regular maintenance without a patch is always advertised as 2 hours. So this maintenance WITH a patch... still 2 hours. Usually tho, they will have the servers up and running long before that. now, quit your whining and go do something productive with your life.

Azmodandario Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Two hours ? Wow that ruined my day. Are you serious ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaricSevGirl Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This is pretty important. One of my guild members can't get through Alderaan because she can't talk to Risha. 2 hrs down isn't going to kill anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasica Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well it is the third downtime during Australian peak times in the last 7 days (patch, fix for patch, second fix for patch). How about sharing the love to some other timezones or giving all APAC customers 2 free days subscription for stuffing them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valdrane Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Maintenance every week is critical to MMOs. IT gives the team responsible for server maintenance time to replace any hardware to software checks and debug everything. This is especially important considering the servers are up and running 24 hours a day with literally thousands upon thousands of players entering and exiting the servers at any given moment, it makes for a lot of clutter on the servers. Without server maintenance MMOS would be 100 times more glitchy than they already are. Weekly maintenance is your friend, and if they happen to do a small patch here or there, then all the better. I support server maintenance. Edited October 22, 2013 by Valdrane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
