Vecejj Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Seriously, 4 hours of maintenance smack bang in the middle of EU daytime AGAIN (tomorrow) is ridiculous, this is the only game I've ever played that does maintenance at peak hours of gaming. For those that haven't seen the Notices section: Starting at February 4, 1:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM UTC / 10:00 AM CET, all servers will undergo maintenance for approximately 4 hours. An in-game notice will be given 30 minutes prior to the maintenance starting. Below are the list of changes introduced within the update: Routine server maintenance and modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awh Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Maybe there are more NA players, and they are trying to schedule it around the majority. I mean that's normal to favor majority as a business or else it'll fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppy Pie Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 bummer, but would rather them to fix the issues than to have a crash.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squint Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Aren't most people working/at school at this time? And you must get up damn early if this is the middle of your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Still no different schedules for EU and NA? 4 hour "routine" maintenence? What are these people doing? o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, like many, you could do both maintenances at a different time instead of at the same time so both regions have their maintenance off-peak. That is catering to both regions, which you should as a business or else it'll fail. Even Trion, who has such an incredibly bad reputation with ArcheAge, does maintenance for ArcheAge on a completely different time for NA and EU. (Example of the last maintenance; 2/2/16 8 AM PST for NA, 2/3/16 2 AM GMT for EU (which is 5 PM PST)), this is kinda the only good thing you can say about them though... It baffles me why NCSoft puts the maintenance for both regions on the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming their whole player base are school children or 9-5 workers then you'd be right but I'm doubtful of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean of course, catering to everyone is pretty much obvious of what every business wants to achieve lol, no brainer there. I'm just answering towards his concern and gave him a reason to his claim, not an irrelevant suggestion to the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Routine" maintenence doesn't sound like a big fix "Routine" means they are upkeeping it to help prevent all hell breaking loose.... just like you do "Routine" cleaning.... if you didn't dust/wash dishes/wash clothes/take a shower ect. than all hell would break loose in your house.... unless you like bugs and rodents..

If you update AA NA and then decide to go EU you have to wait or redownload the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukran Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 i am GMT +1 (translate this from CET to me please) and i can tell that, as long as maintenance is NOT around 15-22 (3-10 pm) GMT+1, not so many players complains about it. and if you complain, please, get a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit complaining and let them take time to fix whatever they need to fix rather than playing on a even more broken game.... 4 hours isn't that HUGE of a deal.....

Houlon Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Majority of games have split NA/EU maintenance times so they are done in the early AM for both parties but then again most games have completely separate NA and EU servers. This whole get a job argument is pathetic. I work 4 on and 3 off and they are quite often 12 hour shifts, My days off are Wed/Thurs and Sunday. Should I follow your advice and get a second job? Poor arguments for a poor system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 At least it is in the morning, and not actually "the middle of the day" And since when is the morning "peak hours of gaming"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
