Here's a solution, do this maintenance after hours like everyone else in the IT industry and not during primetime hours.
Name a more iconic duo, blizzard and extended maintenance.
I'm going to be the broken record here and ask like I do every patch why they can't start these patch transfers earlier. Have a night crew and start the transfer in the middle of the night. They used to do it back in the day, I don't see why they can't now. As it stands, every player on the East Coast essentially loses out on an entire day they could be playing literally every single time Blizzard has an extended maintenance. People come home from work and have dinner with their families/have to be up early the next day for work so bringing up servers at 7 PM might as well read, "You don't get to play for 24 hours."

So many complainers already lol.... go outside and touch some grass, feel the sun on your face, do some chores, make dinner.... 1 hour delay and people get mad about it. Bunch of whiny babies.... first patch day reset for you? lmao
This is why the ranking guys, F for the raid today
Who could've guessed lmao
Nothing unexpected here
It is a bummer not being able to log on sooner. Although it is never a big deal. I usually get more chores done, or spend the little time I do on other stuff.
Every, single, time. It's like they forgot about last patch or the one before and before. Just give yourselves enough ducking time. Say 7pm, I don't care, just stop with the constant extension junk.
well back in Vanilla Realm Maintenance was :The realms are brought down for up to 6 hours, usually commencing at 5am Pacific Time for US and Oceanic realms.Extended Realm MaintenanceThe realms are brought down for up to 8 hours, commencing at 3am Pacific Time for US and Oceanic realms.Not really a big change since ... Just need to be patient !
