Rhokdelar180 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Another whiny thread... really guys after more than a month. It affects me and I do not care as its only once a week. Just go do something else. If you cannot take this than stop stop playing a MMORPG and go play offline single player ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artillis Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It's obviously because their employees want to work 9-5 on their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelvi Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 *sigh*. So im guessing that NA players just dont have jobs or things to do around the time the servers come up? please. You aren't the only ones affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherEli Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 While I understand your frustration 12pm is far from "Prime time". Prime time gaming is usually 5pm-12am so the maintenance will long be over before the majority of EU players are ready to get at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think so then think. 12-4 is bad time at EU anyone who is outside GMT like +2GMT it will hit on prime time. Not alone we will never have quarantees that Ncsoft is capable of getting maintenances done in 4 hours. Any decent game company adjust their server maintenances so it has minimal effect on players and currently ncsoft does not do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mishi Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 7 hours ago, Korene said: What is so hard to grasp... that the maintenance hours are scheduled to fit that REGION where the people WORK time frame. I don't care what game you look at very few games do separate maintenance for each region they just don't! No one is going to flip their schedule for YOU that's what we call rude! In each game some country is gonna get the short end of the stick! Prime examples: How many american are at work and ready to go by 4am? considering for most businesses it's: 8am-4pm 9am-5pm Or the company runs on a shift schedule like: 7am-3pm 3pm-11pm 11pm-7am In Betweens normally on Vary by 1-2 hours from any of the listed times.

Udunnome Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 GMT +2 here, best case scenario maintenance ends at 6pm here. Worst case, like last time, 10pm. Sucks to be honest. Would be nice if they did the updates separately, but meh w/e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the US and Canada share the same timezones, one being directly above the other. Also, Canada is part of NA, NA being the name of the continent, not a country. Not everyone shares time with Canada when they do things it doesn't go well with central time at least I don't like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcca Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 This maintance time is terrible. I think NCsoft dont need our money... If they won't change this time, many eu players will be left again. I dont know why ncsoft can't learn their misstakes... for example Aion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ncsoft been doing this before blade and soul alll the time. Since we are talking about specific sections of the business world. Their hours are completely normal for this field and it is not irregular for them and having cranky players whose region's peak hours are affected by Maint is of course in this line of business very normal and currently trending. Merge all regions Maint time=cutting costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franny Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Altough I do agree with some of you saying "It's not that of a big deal, just get over it"; I would like to see them if they had their day offs on Wednesdays and not being able to play due to European timings. I bet forums would explode with anger and hate. Anyway Idc, because I'm working throughout it, but a lot of my guild mates hate this maintenance timing, and I have to agree with them too, because NCSoft should care about Europeans, and should take them into consideration too.

Merge all regions Maint time=cutting costs FFXIV has own maintenance times based on region. Atleast EU has morning times. Any respectable game company that wants their customers happy will do it based on regions just because merging them just wont work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyche Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 12 hours ago, Ninfu said: And yet another maintenance that will hit EU prime time. Seriously when do you guys get these things sorted out? Worst argument ever about this was "then other region would get it first" How would that be any diffrent from now? Eu players playtime is cut half or more because of these ridiculous maintenance times. Even if you guys dont want to have seperate maintenance times then atleast give us fair treatment and rotate maintenance times like you do with live streams. This been ongoing issue which is yet resolved and also you guys promised us the solution which clearly not happening any time soon. How long till Ncsoft realises that EU deserves fair treatment? So anyone who does not know maintenance starts 4 PST which is 12UTC. So far we dont know how long downtime it will be but judging previous one i would not suprised it to be +4h +1-3hours for screw ups They said on stream that EU and NA were tied or something. I hate it too, we have to wait till late afternoon to play because the patches are always extended. Frustrating beyond word for EU players.

Yes they said because they have locate certain features to same server which is to cut corners and save few extra dollars. They can just easily put them seperate servers and do maintenances seperately. Even if they dont want to seperate them they can easily rotate maintenance times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRose Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You guys are forgetting something crucial about those games with dedicated servers for regions like wow and final fantasy. They are PAY TO PLAY which means they can afford it while most f2p games at least at launch or within a year of it to prove it earns enough do not have maintenance times for different regions. Sigh why doesn't anyone see that -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azrael8t Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 i'd rather have gameforge run the servers then have to wait for NA maintenance to finish to able play on our eu servers if ncwest is unable to give a more reasonable time suited to our timezone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
