Mandrax Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Heh. KABOOM! Tbh I find it quite insulting that they apparently do find the time to close the old topic and start a new one. But can't even take the time to say "we see your concerns, we'll get back to you on this". Particularly as Stephen Reid has been on to post about people getting suspensions and bans.

TheHauntingBard Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Stephen Reid could have saved himself some time by posting: "Time zones... how do they work?" I think I would laugh if he would. Still doesn't take away I rather have the issue addressed than a circus monkey providing entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archannon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You hit the nail on the head, they shut down the forums for exactly that reason, to avoid the rage and complaints people would have about their (so far) lackluster service. Once the servers are back up again the majority of those people will be back playing, soothed for the moment. That does seem to be the reason, yeah. Not good practice tbh.

Not that I meet a lot of people while I quests but the one I do I will spam the living >insert naughty word< out of with these emotes. Glad they got their priorities straight.

ninoss Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 After wednesday patch we will have another announcement that they are aware of the problem and will do their best to fix it. Making next maintetance back on tuesday, starting an hour earlier or two earlier and lasting for hour or two more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combopoint Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I am only aware that the EU has by far more people than the US and that in WOW the EU players out number the US ones. I highly doubt the US subs out number the EU ones by far. And don't forget that SWToR isn't launched in all European countries yet.

GumBoil Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm still hoping they change it sooner rather than later. Won't happen this week but once they start seeing the exit polls it seems foolish not to. I really can't see that there is a that big an implication to logistics or to costs for that matter. Surely loosing subscriptions over it (however many) is to be avoided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of signing up to twitter just to express my deep dis satisfaction. Maybe I will do as my sub draws to an end. Seems like that is the medium than Reid pays attention to most.

CovenantOfDeath Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 They are burying their heads and hoping it will all go away. Yep they hope that all of their problems go with the wind. But who is going to go are their customers. Using a Star Wars celebrity sentence: "I've a bad feeling about this" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And he's a brit for crying out loud) Stephen Reid is on Twitter 95% of the time, devs don't really bother posting much on the website anymore it seems. Most of the posts in the dev tracker are standard yellow CS replies. Having said that, Reid barely answers people on Twitter, he picks a few tweets every hour, but the chance that it's your tweet is negligible. He never replied to any of mine.

Tarka Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 *yawn* And people in the WoW community thought us Aussies were whingers for banging on endlessly about getting shafted by maintenance. You Euros have us beat. Then, I look forward to hearing your complaints about downtimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the distinct feeling Bioware's idea of communication will involve telling their customers as little as possible, only what they want them to know, and doing it via vague answers to the same questions in countless "interviews" with third party sites, whilst steering clear of approaching the subjects that the community feels need answering. If they try to stick to a "we'll only tell you about something when we feel it's ready" philosophy, then it may bite them in the proverbial ***. Other MMO's tried that, and it pissed the community off. People need re-assurance or there's a good chance they'll cancel. It's that simple.

Mandrax Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Morning to all! Any news out there or we are still in the dark? Summoning Yellow companion! No news, although pretty much everyone will be back at work at BioWare today. I doubt they are totally ignoring this thread, it will spark some kind of discussion, it's just whether they actually give a stuff enough to do something about it. I'm sure Stephen Reid and Chris Collins have had a few tweets on the matter, plus we are on the second incarnation of this thread. You would think they would have to raise the issue with somebody.

Revanx Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Stop crying like a child. You have no idea what's behind a mantenance schedule like the one they will do tomorrow. It's very likely they need to make it all in the same time to avoid issue we have no idea. Also normal ppl during the afternoon study \ work, if u have nothing to do, just go out few hours, take a fresh breath of air, come back and u will find server online ready to let u play the game.

But they will definitely have seen this thread and it will be mentioned at some point in conversation, but as I've said, it just depends on whether they are interested enough to do something about it.

Well if you have no idea, why comment at all? If BioWare actually spoke to us and said that it's impossible to do separate maintenance, that would at least be a start. Besides, even if it IS impossible, it's not impossible to move the time slot back 4 hours, which is a compromise many here have said they will accept if necessary.
