Member that maintenance from 8am GMT to like 6pm GMT?
its the best time, to make gamers crazy, it isn't possible, to make the f*** patches at night, nope, every Servers need to be patched in normal work time.
and if something happened, they say only sorry, and people who waited to spend their rare free time and money, are the stupid customers, we aren*t important, only our money is important3 -

So why did it take you 5 and a half hours to tell us this.
You do realize servers went down at 4am her time, right?
don't forget, the european GMT is 9 AM in Europe, so its the best work time, and most people imn europe work from 7 am to 4 or 5 PM
it's a shame, that they DIDN'T check the patches BEFORE patching into the Live System0 -

Morning guys! We're needing to complete some additional backend work (Some of our guys didn't finish their overwatch match) this morning in addition to the patch, which is why maintenance is taking a bit longer (4h) than usual. We're looking at another couple hours of downtime, approximately (To finish all our sandwiches and soda and have a quick digestion, because we don't know at all what we are doing).
At a point, can you stop using this political talking and just be clear? What are you doing ? What does take so long ? Or just stop giving so useless info, that is not constructive...
If they really used their developer slang, do you think you could understand? How much would that help?
Seriously, some people are so jobless.3 -

Ahh, they broke something and are now frantically trying to fix it.
Devs are probably working their balls off, having a really crappy day right about now, trying frantically to figure out what the problem is (or fix it) while getting interrupted every 5 minutes by 'the management' saying 'How long till its fixed?'..
At some point one of them will shout back 'It'll be a damn sight quicker if you stopped bugging me for status updates every 5 ***ing minutes!!!'

AyeshaBelladonna✭✭✭✭✭wait, the maintenance should have started 9:00 am CET, now is 3:30pm and still not finished????
That would've been 10am CET if it was 9am GMT wouldn't it? But given that we have another holiday event coming up AND the preparations are starting for Feb Player Housing release, 4-6hr paint was to be expected really.
I, myself, am just hoping the guy that spilled coffee on the servers last time Maint was unexpectedly 'extended' got fired. :fingers crossed: No 12hr down-time this time we hope! lol (j/k I don't think it was coffee or an employee...probably just an intern tripping over cords XD)NA EP CP1200+

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Just curious, I have been playing this game since beta and I am wishing to know why you wait until the servers are up to release the patch notes. Could you explain this please?
I have been playing MMOs since Ultima Online and quite frankly this is one of the most backward things I have seen. You give us very little to no time at all to prepare for anything due to your "we can't talk about this right now" or "no eta" hush-hush secrecy. It's a bit ridiculous at this point.
It's almost like you want us to be distracted by finally logging into the game after a long downtime; as if to somehow placate us or soften the "Surprise! We just screwed you over!" feeling we often get due to the aforementioned issues surrounding your furtiveness.Edited by blur on 12 December 2016 16:196 -

it's so they can change anything at anytime during install, for example if they were adding hypothetical btw class change and they posted a patch notes post before. then didn't add it due to bugs, people would be up in arms about it not being there when they said it was going to be in the game.
that's why. Less of a backlash.

LMAO As i read this i had 2 scenarios run through my head.... a One a Dilbert Cartoon with the boss bugging him.... the other Catbert laying on a smoldering server tower batting a ball of yarn saying ' totally on top of things right now... we'll be up soon'.....

I'd suspect its related to not giving etas. I think they have a risky and highly manual patching process - which can result in *some* of the planned changes failing to work and being backed out - which adds time to the deployment window and also changes the content. I guess they don't want to be in a situation where the players are saying 'you promised us this - where is it?!' Or even worse, they mention a fix to a (currently) little-known exploit which failed to go live - but now everyone knows about it, and are free to exploit away...
