Serious question but why can't they have a dedicated team that does these maintenances at night or super early in the morning? That way they wouldn't have to do this during the middle of the day when you would expect a high player traffic in NA/EU regions
It can't be too difficult to send us like 5k gold or something every time maintenance goes over the time they state. Its not that much but I can still find something to buy with it.
We're really seeing this expansion what launching a game too soon does, with minimal alpha, beta testing and new patches and content minimal testing.Very very frequent maintenance required and hotfixes every second day for two months.We praised blizzard for launching the game early, it's playable, but that's what we're getting for having it 4 months early.
8 hours of maintenance every week. In the end we pay for a month of play to play 28 days or less.By the way, they do not refund the time that the maintenance lasted.But it's okay, I imagine it's difficult to maintain an indie company with a sub of just a few dollars.
Maintenance now extended to 1pm PDT.
1pm PST now
They just updated it to 1 PM PST.
Lol they just pushed it another hour. Launcher says 1pm CST now
For pete's sake. This is dumb.
I'm pretty sure it's going to go up all the to 3-4pm PST...
I really enjoy the xpac so far. I truly do. However, the bugs and maint times really suck. I know some bugs hit live, but there’s a ptr for that. The incarn bug hit live. Their testing groups might be smaller but take some of those reports as actual bugs and not interference with add ons. It just feels like they’re more about pushing to meet deadlines over stability. Which is very depressing because this is a good xpac. Also feels like pushing the boa alt stuff super earlier than normal is the counter play to the long maint times and bugs. They either need to test better or give more incentive to test things. Playing the “extend maint” game is just gonna piss off the community. Disable the issues if possible and figure out the problem then release a quick fix if possible. If it’s not super impacting, release a fix with standard maintenance time. Most people won’t be pissed off if normal maintenance is extended a few hours to push fixes. Extended maintenances throughout the week are way worse. I think we can live without the trading post for a few days.
How is it even possible that the EU has a working Trading Post, but NA servers do not?
ever maintenance? WHY BOTHER GIVING US A TIME IF IT'S ALWAYS WRONG? Every single maintenance is delayed and it's so exhausting
