Isn't 5am PST = 1pm GMT?

 

Yeah the GMT times have been incorrect on these maintenance posts for awhile. Lord Ptach does not even math.

The GMT times are actually correct - it was the PST times that I got wrong (I wrote them in local time). Sorry - fixed!

I'm going to put money on "Slot Machine Only Hotfix".

 

Would LOVE to see 16m SM LOOT fixed and no longer dropping 8m LOOT for 16m SM.. :(

 

Hopefully Underlurker also fixed, but its more workable than it was before the last patch.

Wow. Absolutely astonishing how North American biased Bioware is EVERY time with their updates. You always have to put the updates so they cause inconvenience to us Europeans.

How about fixing the companion armor sets for Kira, Nadia, Vector, and Jaesa to not have such nerfed stats on half the items. Should also include the Willpower Focus from the Rishi daily as well. Having to switch to either Ranged DPS or a Tank depend on the character was a bummer.

 

Haven't seen the armor set for Ashara yet. Anyone know if its okay, or its similar to the Willpower sets, and nerfed to all holy hell?

What's more astonishing is that someone always complains about it, every time. Every single time. Someone, somewhere, is always going to be "inconvenienced" by the time and it makes perfect sense it would be those countries not where Bioware is. In this case, the worlds do revolve around Americans, Cheers!

Yes this, why is this even overlooked!?

Its similar set for Ashara.

For those of you who are having difficulty finding the patch notes or havent yet began looking, see the text below from: http://dulfy.net/2015/01/20/swtor-patch-3-0-2a-maintenance-on-jan-21/

 

"Hey folks,

First, as Tait alluded to we will be having a maintenance tomorrow, on Wednesday the 21st. We didn’t have our regular Tuesday maintenance due to the federal holiday here in the states. I wanted to let you know a few of the things coming in tomorrow’s patch:

 

Item rarity borders will now show properly

No more getting stuck in Blood Hunt if someone dies to Jos or Valk Beroya

The Underlurker will no longer rush extremely quickly back to his target after leaping

There have been adjustments made to the Contraband Slot Machine (more on this in a second)

There is also one other fix, check the final patch notes for more info

Let’s talk about the changes coming to the Contraband Slot Machine. When we were going into 3.0.2, we wanted to make Grade 11 materials more accessible to more players than they were at the time. As you know, we simultaneously put in the Contraband Slot Machine, which afforded you a fairly good chance to get Jawa Junk and other Jawa vendor scrap parts. This had two effects:

 

It had the risk of taking the Grade 11 material costs in the economy, in the long term, to a price below where we would like

It created a situation where it could be more profitable to completely ignore crew skills by use of the Slot Machine

With those in mind, we decided to make the following changes, which will be live tomorrow:

 

The drop rate on all Jawa scraps, has been greatly reduced

The drop rate on Contraband Reputation items, has been increased

To insure that the Slot Machine is still an awesome item to strive for, we have added a faction specific walker mount as a very rare drop

Lastly, we have increased the cost of each Slot Machine coin from 500 to 750 credits. It was always our intent that the coin cost would increase over time as we add more Slot Machines that accept the coin

Thanks everyone!

-eric"

So you are saying that mid morning to early afternoon is prime time for us euros? Nope it isn't, if they had made it 6pm-8pm GMT then yes whine away, but they haven't.
