Because in 90% if the cases maintenance windows fall within the core playtimes of EU people. It's not that EU people are against maintenance, it's that we usually get shafted by them falling in our prime time moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then some from one of the other packs that had a training ticket built in... Why.... I mean in 2 weeks premium will be irrelevant when you are at cap.

But they're getting much more than the rest of us in return for this maint. Case in point, I play in the morning. And this whooooole morning is out in Toronto.

Laskaris Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'd honestly thought that gamers would have a bit better understanding of the difference between software and hardware... Saying that the game has been out for years has no relevence what, so, ever. <sarcasm>Servers are hardware, like that magical machine that runs the game for you, the game is software, it runs on that magical machine. </sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasteir Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It's likely they're getting this out of the way on Friday because were something to happen on the weekend you could kiss your weekend bns goodbye. Then the outrage would be REALLY bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drint Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It is basically noon to 5:30pm for Eu players right? So explain how this is prime time or does Europe not work and go to school during the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a marketing/PR standpoint I would be murdering IT with such a step, I would be murdering my own IT people with such a step. It is FRIDAY MIDDLE OF THE DAY! I mean that is like stabbing yourself in the foot. And there is no excuses to close the game in the top hours, for minor updates. Unless it is game breaking what it is not. Top hours? Do you realise that this maint. is not just for EU? Honestly, they picked a pretty good time to do it at if you take EU, the US and Oceanic regions into consideration. Most normal people/adults, will just have gotten out of work/uni over here in europe, so not entirely sure what you're complaining about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, that's a scewed perception. We might be getting new servers but that does very little for the established communities already playing on the populated servers. Because let's face it, 90% of them are not going to change server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when do you exactly propose doing a server maintainence if during the day while the magority of people are at work isn't good enough? Are people forgetting that Blade and Soul IS Ncsoft's game? From the Team Bloodlust division - they sold publishing rights to Tencent for China but they still own the KR version, which is still alive and well. Why else do you think we're getting the 45/50 content so quickly? So "dead like rest of NCsoft games" is a rather moot point in this instance. In a sense Ncsoft is at fault but not to the extend people are claiming tho. They could've for example provided a chat filter form the begging fo the game as they were aware of the situation with the bots from the other server in KR and JP for example. They are not at fault with the population, they responded fairly quick and added new ones to accommodate that so props to them. Most suitable time for maintenance would be past midnight but since its an emergency one sometimes it cannot be avoided. I believe the use of "scheduled" maintenance infuriated people more as it made it think that Ncsoft on purpose choose this time to bring down the servers...

Meliran Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 "You acknowledge that Service may be interrupted for reasons within or beyond the control of NCSOFT, that NCSOFT cannot and does not guarantee You will be able to use the Game or any Account whenever You wish to do so, that NCSOFT will interrupt the Service on a regular basis for purposes of maintenance or updates and may do so without providing You with notice before such interruption, and that NCSOFT may provide subsequent versions, enhancements, modifications, upgrades or patches related to the Game that You must accept and/or install before You will be able to use the Game." You agreed to it. That's all there is to it. It's not NCSoft's fault that you don't know how to read. That said, I'm not exactly happy about 2 maintenance in a week either when the issues being fixed aren't exactly earth shattering. But, well, gives me some time to do other stuff.

Mgizle Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 As a premium member and a huge supporter of this MMO, I am glad they actually invest so much time into working on the servers and the game itself. I've played MMO's for 10 years now and I have yet to see DEV's put so many hours in at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSoft Korea, yes they are alive and well, because they actually care about their player-base... Don't forget BnS is what, 4/5 years old game for Korea?

SeiLee Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I spent 15 euro's on premium and that constitutes for roughly 50c a DAY. i have to work 8 hours a day for minimum wage (roughly €10/h ) which makes that 50 cents worth about 3 WHOLE minutes of work a day :CCC but tbh, i spend more time on the crapper checking my phone and pooping at work, so it's all good.

Skarwind Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 1 hour ago, Olivar said: Goodbye then. Terms of Agreement clearly state that there is scheduled downtimes. And seeing you are playing the game you pressed this "Accept" button when starting the game. So yeah...... Idle threats. Most MMOs announce their maintenance schedules days in advance. Usually available from a well made launcher as well as their forums and twitter/facebooks. This one, although I love it and i'm glad they are fixing things, has a bad habit of announcing it the day of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
