    LOTRO only have about 3-4 hrs. Heck even SWG back in the days only had about four hrs downtime for patches.

     


     

     

    I repeat:  they're up.  they were down less than 4 hours.

        How dare they do planned maintenance!  How dare they make unscheduled fixes that are affecting a lot of people!  How dare they actually IMPROVE the game!  How dare they!

        Oh, my mistake, the servers are back up in about half the time they had scheduled for.

    And I don't want to see ANYONE giving BW credit for only being down 4 hours instead of the scheduled 6.

    nope because the whole nine yard is fail before it started.

    I remember wow servers being down for 2+ Days for Maintenance. That game turnd out just fine. The fact that you are so mad that the servers are down must mean u like the game other wise it would not upset u so much. The servers being down for 8 hours in the early morning and your QQing about it? If you can't find anything else to do with ur time untill the servers come back up you may want to quit the game all together and re-evaluate your life. If you can only play twice a week then why are u playing an mmo at all?

    nope and likewise and the fact is none would play this game if the title would be monsters from space 3 online. just cause its star wars peeps keep hanging on with bioware holding their hand walkthro adventure boosted by voiceanimations.

    does this means that mmo is mainly targeted unemployed people who dont have family or anyone else than pixelated chat friends?

    The servers are up, they are almost always down for considerably less time than they say they will be. They are also down every Tuesday, if youd been paying attention uptill now im sure youd have noticed this.

    I used to play FF11 for years and it happened quite regularly that the server would go offline for maintenance for me during the evenings. But this always just took 2 hours and ALL servers for FF are in Japan and a thing such as US/EU/JP servers didn't exist. Every nation played on the same servers.

     

    Thing with SWTOR is it's brand new and there clearly are EU servers which are even stationed in Dublin as someone said.

    So the big question is:

    Why can't a huge company like BW simply give out the order that the server in Dublin starts its maintenance 7 hours AFTER the maintenance in the USA?

        Probably because the way they have the servers set up to update off of a sinlge server someplace.  If all the servers are only "verifying" with one server, you have a much smaller chance of random glitches showing up.

    This. Welcome to MMOs.

    Admitedly, Saturdays downtime sucked, but it's not like it's going down every Sat. 

    You guys dont get it because you dont understand that they take down the servers in the middle of the day for us Europeans. If they did it in US there would be riot in the streets. This is inspite of SW:TOR arena showing that around 35% of players are from Europe so Bioware are basically saying a big **** you to 35% of their customers.

    Oh, right, I don't get it, since I'm from Sweden... Which is in Europe... And I'm home from work since I'm ill and actually had a chance to play... For once.. Yeah, sure, I don't get it. And yes, Saturdays downtime sucked immensly, after a week of not playing a single evening due to work I finally had the possability to but were denied it. It sucked. It was frustrating. But guess what? These things happen. And it's not a regular occourance (as opposed to weekly maintenance).

    Is it frustrating? Yes. Is it part of MMOs? Yes. Do I get the downtime? Yes. Do I get why people are so bloody surprised there is downtime during what is school/work hours for most people in Europe once every week ? No, not really. Especially not since it's Regular Maintenance. It's not something new.

     

    Oh, tip for next time by the way, don't presume to know where a poster is from.

    Ha!! played GW for years. Don't know how you can even write with a straight face that Bioware holds hands through the game as if GW is a free roaming sandbox MMO. If anything GW was the most controlled MMO experince i ever had. As far is GW2 concerned how about you people let it release first and then do all the big talking?

    american 100%

    I don't think he was saying about server location. I thought he said that they were an american company so when they sell a worldwide product they can if they want only cater for america

    You are correct. The alternative would have been to not allow EU players to play at all. Would you like that instead?

    yes.

    hmmm

     

    Rift = Eu/Usa mants

    wow = usa / eu mants

    even eq2! (soe!) = usa / eu mants

    ect

    uhm , lots of examples from the past years

     

    a mmorpg launched nowadays that does Mant for both at the same time is ..........retarded

     

     

     

     

     

    Again I agree. But crying about it and threating to quit is also....... retarded.

    who is threating to quit here?

     

    I know you are not, at least not here. But the OP said that he was quitting because BW is actively trying to make this game better on a weekly basis with the occasional unscheduled downtime that ALL MMO's have had to do at launch + few months. To him that is unacceptable behavior for a responsible company that if they did not do this would lose even more players.

    THAT is why I'm making fun of the people bitching about a scheduled downtime that happens every week at the same time.

    I kept reading and hearing from players and gaming sites how polished this game was.

    Man i feel bad for some EU players, say what u want but just because hes expressing his frustration doesnt really give you guys the rite to be sarcastic noobs. Honestly though, if the downtime is that bad i would just quit and come back whenever it gets better so that you can enjoy playing whenever its convienent. Just my 2 cents.

  • IPolygonIPolygon Member UncommonPosts: 707

    Wow, people are complaining for issues getting fixed now.

    If you want to play, there are enough games to play for the duration of the downtime.

    I am very happy playing lightsabers but i am also sick of GW rabid fanboys who just can not resist turning every topic of SWTOR into SWTOR vs GW2. GW was as easy as it gets but had options for those who want hard content. Same goes for SWTOR, options are there. 

    For someone who only plays GW and dreams about GW2, pardon me if i don't take anything you say seriously.

    That is not the answer we are looking for!

    Why can't BW revolve around EVERY SINGLE PERSON that is playing? Noone asked ME if 2AM was OK! Why not?

    THAT is why we are QQing here! We cannot grasp the concept of "the world does not revolve around you"! Open your eyes man! I'm paying $15 a month, I should be running things here!

    Oh look. An American (who's not really affected by maintenance times) comes to compain about people complaining that the world doesn't revolve around them. That's... original.

    Yeah those damned americans get all the good stuff. Truth is if one day a week from your game is that big of a deal you may want to check your priorities.

    Really? This game sucks and Im not having fun? Im going to unsub right now. Thanks for the tip.
