bluehufsa Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Huh.. extended with no ETA.. and OF COURSE in European time, as always! Yeah i'm angry, cause i don't understand why maintenance must always be "extended with no ETA" and ONLY in European time .. what's so complicated about starting the Feast of Prosperity event? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's the same point i've been trying/annoying BioWare about since 2011 but they just refuse to listen (to that basic point) . What makes fighting mobs exciting is, imo , HOW the mobs fight. Their special moves , their ai , their animations , etc. etc. etc. *To BioWare's recent credit, it does seem like certain boss fights have become less about high-health and more about tactics & teamwork. (hint: R-4 Op ) You noticed how on the new Manaan area they have double healer npcs every other mob. It's not about content it's about slowing us down at every point because they cannot make new content being worried about making a new Armor and combat system and so many other items we did not ask for. Just like these new Forums. They suck too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHTJunior Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Things happen when deadlines are involved, and sometimes teams get so involved in what they are doing, that they don't see time slipping away. You'll have a team Lead come in and ask a question, and they'll be the ones to identify the need for a delay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was posted at 4 hours after your start and your estimated update downtime was 5 hours? I can imagine the horrors you are involved with if you are noticing that you have to extend it an hour before it's supposed to finish anyways. They discovered problems while implementing the update? It's likely the issue was discovered a bit earlier and worked it's way up and down the chain of command in order to determine how much longer it will take and how certain the guys are in fixing that problem. And, as usual in the field of game development and coding in general, if there is a problem that can, if all things work out, be fixed within 1 hour, they guys actually fixing the problem usually give an inflated estimate of 5 hours to their boss in order to cover their bases in case anything goes wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakRoanin Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Not to mention yelling at JackieKo doesn't help. She is just the messenger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otowi Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Yeah, this was not unexpected really, but better they fix whatever problem that reared it's ugly head than going live with a massive bug. And yes, it does suck that it happens during EU prime time, but it's not much we can do about it. The only thing I wish is that they would come out and state what the problem was that required the extra down time. Transparency and all that... Edited October 18, 2022 by Otowi Corrected a minor typo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehufsa Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 @JakRoanin, I'm not yelling at anyone, just stating my disappointment. Since 2015, each and every update was extended with no ETA. I'm aware of the fact that @JackieKois just the community manager and is not their fault in any way. But to be honest, it is frustrating, I want to play and cannot, come on.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you say is true, and unfortunately patch day delays beyond the initial estimate are more the rule than the exception, and yes, even though I always expect delays, I am still not happy when they happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuigeekRhadamant Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Sooooo, not only you can't even test things beforehand but you also manage to make cosmetic slots bug (lock the ones you bought actually).

Now I have a picture in my mind of someone at the studio yelling "quick, get the popcorn" as they anticipate people's response to your post. Oh im sure the hate will flow, but that doesnt change the reality of it all. People hate Mercs as were hard to kill in PvP, but they certainly dont fear us at the same time so... meh.
