Blizzard manages to down-time each server in Diablo 3 (and I guess that in WoW as well) according to that region's time zone. Last MMO I played was Maplestory, and they had long, tedious and bad timed maintenances. I hoped it would be different here. Well, four hours isn't THAT bad, but at the middle of the day? Na players >eu players ? Just saying XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eonwe Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 NCWest don't have ANY respect to EU players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It is cause fanbase is much bigger in NA,meaning much more money from that region,meaning it will always get special treatment.That is how it is.Still this is very frustrating and unprofessional from them.

TheEllimist Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 They don't have a EU office. Noone is working during nighttime to do maintenance at whatever hours you want and NCwest isn't big enough to bother hiring people to do it. If this was blizzard or some bigger company that actually has a EU office then I would expect different times. Just gonna have to suck it up or hope the game becomes bigger than just 200k players in a f2p game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessuno Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah very bad timing.It is possible to do better. PST to UCT is 8hrs, so start maintenance at 00h PST, that would be 8h UCT, would last until 4h PST (12h UCT) and even if not perfect there are few people playing in the morning, problem solved. EDIT: also last stats i saw there were more players in EU than in NA, just saying. (UNCONFIRMED) EDIT2: Can't recall the reddit for this claim, it was an image posted on fb with server numbers (pop and queue) during peak time; the only one i can find now says the opposite.

EDIT: also last stats i saw there were more players in EU than in NA, just saying. If you mean the stats just taken that show barly more EU players during peak hours than NA during work time. I guess. Either way it's not about popularity it's just about the cost of running 2 seperate maintenance schedules. Alot easier and cheaper to do both at the same time. I guess they could do it at a better time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teffy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 NA is not just NA.If SA/LAtin America and SEA had better ping in EU you would not see them in NA.NA in general is few times lower on population compared to EU.However for some reason when we connect to Asia is like >Germany>USA>ASIA,instead of Europe>Asia.I blame America for that. Was same thing in Aion and L2 and I know they won't change.They don't care and all I hope is the game keep good revenue otherwise in about a year or two we are going under gameforge or innova....and from the 3 I prefer the smallest evil - NCSOFT. And people here in Eu work on shifts mostly.Mon-Friday is a dream for more then half of the eu population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollgirl Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 12-4PM isn't really that bad, Most people have either a job or school during that time, just take it as an opportunity to catch up on some other things that you neglected since the game started I'm sure most people have something that they could do. I for one really liked it, been playing so much the last week +, it was really nice to gear a break and go shop and clean my apartment a bit :P Would be nice in maintenance was no later though since that's cutting into peak hours which is stupid is so many ways.

So what's the problem then? Since someone tried to argument with them being in NA mainly... Is it better to work at 3am on the maintenance or 3pm - when you usually should be working..

It's just trying to find a place where both are OK with it, while EU regularly gets the short end of the stick, its way better at this current time than later, and earlier is kind of to much to expect since that'd cut into NA's peak time and as other people have already said; It's NA run. So it's as good as its going to get if they force these simultaneous maintenance for both regions. While it's not great, it's at least not terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a server load statistic during peak time and EU was just topping off NA, but i can't find that reddit post anymore, and the only one i can find now seems to give you reason, so i'm just gonna edit :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yed Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Even Trion is capable of setting different maintenance times for both regions on ArcheAge (3 am CET (which is like 6pm PST) for EU and 7 am PST for NA usually)... Kinda the only good thing you can say about them and their management of ArcheAge though, but if they can do it, anyone can do it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
