BuriDogshin Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 And really, this was basically a crash, and them emergency downtime, they really can't give advance wraning of a crash. Except they DID , here in the Forums, several minutes of advance warning. They apparently just did not bother telling the people in the game at the time. That's rude and incompetent, if true, and apologies are in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netrider Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 would be cool before bringing servers down to give 5 minutes ingame warning before shutting them down like they used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediKalamarti Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I enjoy the game as much as anyone else but really... It is a game folks. The world is not ending, the zombies are not coming... I find it hilarious people screaming about servers going offline "in the middle of the day." Most people have jobs, or do something other than stare at a computer in the "middle of the day." I'm not judging, do as you will. Perhaps there are other things which can be done "in the middle of the day." Call me crazy... And yes, I understand the service for a fee bit, paying for a sub, blah blah blah. Let them fix the thing. -high fives DRD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damiclies Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I just can not see why they don't have a "Slave - Server" to pick up the over load, its pretty common for companies that expect u to pay them for reliable service. Get it together or go home EA. Edited September 3, 2014 by Damiclies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superwhite Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I didn't intend to simply complain, but express that this is an issue that paying customers shouldn't have to PAY for. I really enjoy this game, and this happens to be the 1 hour today, that I don't have a baby to tend to or a meal to cook... I'd love to spend it playing SWTOR, and I hope they figure it out soon. Last time something like this happened, all the stuff I was selling on GTN went up in smoke... hope not this time.. You guys think it has to do with the Aussie mergers or the guild conquests?

Let them fix the thing. I hate to break you out of your bubble but not everyone has the same work schedules. A lot of people in the world do *not* work 9-5 jobs. A lot of people work night shift jobs too, making times like this their only chance to play. A lot of people don't work the privelaged "Mon-Fri" schedule either, for some this is one of their days off, or their only day off depending on the schedule. In regards to "doing something else"; A lot of people schedule out their free time carefully because they're being worked hard and for long hours (probably for crappy pay) by their employers, and have to balance their free time with family time (Those of us still single are lucky (or not) in that regard). Then you bring in the australians and people in other regions for whom this was closer to their prime time. Legacy only exacerbates the problem by encouraging everyone to have all their alts on one server. So it's a lot more complicated than you are trying to make out, and some people are very understandably upset when you put yourself in their shoes.

Deacoon Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's one day of not being able to play. Shut the **** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VixenRawR Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I like how some people are saying it's the middle of the day. You forget this game is played world wide. It's not the middle for some of us. And also there are plenty of students who have odd schedules plus people who don't work the 9-5 shifts. You can't shove them off a cliff just because you are at work and this doesn't affect you. Point is, the service I, and the rest of you are paying for is being interrupted. For a good reason, yes, but you still deserve to be compensated. If a cop rear ended you car chasing a terrorist, should the police not compensate you because his reason was just? I mean preventing a bomb from going off? Forget paying out insurances!!! AM I RIGHT?!?! No...they owe you regardless of intent. The fact is, we are not to blame for this. Heavy traffic, more players, any excuse against us is their own fault. They are supposed to anticipate and keep things working. If they fail, it's as simple as "Sorry, and here is your compensation". It's not greed cause right now they are taking my hard earned money, your hard earned money away. It costs about 25 cents for 3 hours of sub. If they take that much away from five thousand people that's $1250 dollars. No company deserves that kind of free money. This issue has been going on for days...so that adds up to be a lot more. Just saying...they owe us something and I don't want a title "You survived a server maintenance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantaso Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) We need a Harbinger rap....

JediKalamarti Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I really dont see what the big deal is tho. It happens and there is nothing we can do about it. Alot on here complaining it went down ( Yes I know most were in Flash points ect...ect ), but what else is there to do besides wait and see. I mean I been a Old Wow player and other Mmo's before and sometimes blizzard take their servers down to fix. Its really not going to kill you to miss a hour of play time. Compensation usually happens anyways from what I have seen before. So just take a chill pill, dont freak out and let them work on getting it back on.
