Great Job Zalerius for listing a majority of the recent problems. I would like the add that the login rewards have not only been missing the mystical keys, but there were a few weeks were there weren't any login rewards to claim at all (and still no compensation). Not to mention that with the new maintenance time on tuesday nights, it completely disrupts anyone on a normal 9-5 work/school schedule and prevents them from playing the game for that day. I live on the east coast, so by the time I get home (usually around 4 or 5 pm EST) - the servers are taken down at 6 pm EST. If i'm lucky, the maintenance is short and I can maybe play for an hour before bed, but if we get a 7 hour maintenance like yesterday, then the day is lost. Lastly, the F2 portrait change is just stupid, no clue why those had to be removed.
Even though the maintenance is bad, the worst change was the DC reset time change. Why in the world would you change the reset time to 5 pm EST? I actually have no idea what day it is right now. Is today the tuesday or wednesday daily challenge? What will it be in 30 minutes? Will it be wednesday or thursday? I like to plan around when I do certain dailies and manage rest days. Now I need to make sure I'm not trying to complete dailies anytime near 5 pm EST or it can just reset on me?
This change is completely anti-player and does not even consider the timezone of NA and life of the average player. I can stomach and understand the maintenance to a degree, but the DC reset timer change is illogical. What's next? Changing the koldrak/hamann times to only spawn between 5 AM and 11 AM EST that way 99% of the playerbase can't do them? Whoever has been put in charge of this needs to re-evaluate what they're doing. This change has no benefit and only hinders the vast majority of players. This playerbase of this server is on NA time, not KR time. Change it back.
