fire-breath Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Hey bioware. I might be mistaken but in my book 10:00AM GMT is 10:00AM in wintertime. At this time my clock is at 10:40 and servers would have been down allready for 40 minutes. Somehow the internal Bioware clock is still on summertime I think? Btw, this happend last week too.
RaptorClown Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 they should fire dude who is writing these notes. again made mistake like "2+2=5" >.>
jessemacca Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I agree, I made plans around the down times and they're late to take the servers down, meaning they wont be up when I expected them too
CrazyMcGee Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah, annoyed me, they said it would be down, so I planned something else, but it hadn't gone down.
RaptorClown Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 only solution - ignore gmt times they show, go with pst.
CaptRogue Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Hmm Idk about GMT, but I know that it's quite correct on my server of Pot5, that at 6am-8am (3am-5am PST) it's down. They actually pulled it a few min fast. Because I logged off bout 4min before server down, and tried to get back in & couldn't.

They close the servers for new loggers a few minutes before the downtime starts. The people online will get booted out at the correct time. And for the downtime. I allready expected it to be at 11:00 AM GMT since thats the usual time they pull the plug. Its only a bit strange imo. We shouldnt have to calculate it from PST or whatever it is being called
branmakmuffin Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I agree, I made plans around the down times and they're late to take the servers down, meaning they wont be up when I expected them too It's quite a tragedy. Anyone who makes plans around a computer game ... Edited January 21, 2014 by branmakmuffin
Jrpm Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Is the system supposed to be up now? I am at 1pm Eastern US, but every time I try to log in I get an empty server list. I have run the repair tool and it says everything is okay. as did the launcher diagnostic. Any ideas? Last time I got error 4001 Edited January 21, 2014 by Jrpm new info

Btw, this happend last week too. http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=7123839&postcount=1 Reading is important, the downtime is listed as 11:00am GMT, not 10:00am GMT.
fire-breath Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 Just to be sure a quote. Again at 9 AM GMT the servers weren't down yet. I presume this is because 2AM PST is 10AM GMT. This now the 3rd time in a row this mistake occured. On February 4th, all game servers, SWTOR.com, and the launcher will be unavailable while we perform scheduled maintenance. Game Update 2.6 will be implemented during this downtime. Details are as follows: Date: Tuesday, February 4th, 2014 Duration: 5 hours Time: 2AM PST (9AM GMT) - 7AM PST (2PM GMT) During maintenance, all updates and additional information will be posted on our Twitter account. Thank you for your patience as we maintain service for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/pacific-time/convert/
Przemo_No Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 oh c'mon, 1 hour in this or that direction 10:40 a.m. CET
