			So I have no idea why Carbine picked Thursday to drop this patch, aside from their bloody KPIs for end of July release.Tuesday was a consistent day for patches. But now we got Thursday, which was planned as a raid night because Tuesday was often down/reset/etc.Patch comes up at 7, we start 1 hour later. Great, thats fine, except large patch, so some can't be finished.Servers keep crashing every 30 mins or so. Awesome.Thanks a lot.

			perhaps they will add you on to their consultation list so next time it does not interfere with anything you may have planned.

			complaining about a patch that is to big, contains many bugfixes and a new battleground...... you have GOT to be kidding me....

Oh hey I'm sorry, I guess Carbine didn't get the memo that your raid group is so important that you get to dictate Carbine's release schedule...
 
I am sure someone will be getting dragged over the coals for this outrage and that they will consult with you personally next time....
 
They won't care about all the other thousands and thousands of players that the patch timing DID suit perfectly, as long as you are happy :)
 
Is the OP what is referred to as gamer entitlement these days?

People will complain about anything. Everything has to be their way or its' inconsiderate, wrong, etc.

			Who the hell cares if it was Thursday. The fact that they patch in the middle of the night is awesome. It doesn't really matter what day of the week it is. Well, that is if a patch doesn't introduce massive disconnects :)

Part 2, one more Tuesday path, out of a TON of Thursday patches.

YU no patch on saturday 9pm PST?

Thursday: July 31st. Day before the first of August, and right before the crowd came in to play on the weekend.
 
I have no issue with the day chosen. Rather have a content drop the day before a weekend to quickly be able to hotfix major issues by the weekend crowd.

typically why thursdays are the last day of the week chosen for a major deployment. that way have at least a full day to fix major issues without needing to pay overtime

			Tuesday's are widely common in MMO's to be "patch day".  However, it has happened in the past that games put out a patch on the second tuesday of the week... i mean Thursday.	
----
			Tuesdays are the days that there are fewer people playing than any other time of the week. This is important for MMOs that have about 6 or more hours downtime due to Patches. However, Wildstar only takes the game down for 2 hours to deploy a Patch and so have more flexibility in choosing a different day of the week.

This post right here proves that literally anything Carbine does, there will be players upset.  When are people going to start giving the benefit of the doubt?  That patch was a HUGE patch showing they have been working day and night to make the game better and respond to the players' concerns.  This post basically brings me to the point of telling you to STFU.  And if you look at my other posts, I don't get riled easily.

			Patch Tuesday was actually started by Microsoft with their security patches, they would deploy their patches on the second Tuesday of every month. Predates Blizzard's practice as far as I know, but Blizzard is the trendsetter in most MMO players' minds I imagine

I've come up with a new word to sum up a large portion of the MMO audience, "Entitled"!

			And why it has to be Tuesday.  I prefer any other day, since many big mmo's have Tuesday as their patch day too, and with their current selection I can go any other game during the patch work.	
----
			I'm going to text cougar with my specific wildstar play schedule so they can know to the second when it's ok for them to patch. Or I can just take a walk or play some Hawken while they are patching and not rage about it.

Also many people are arguing about the patches, but a very few have noticed that the game version is still in the 1.0.  Sabotage is 1.0.12.xxx.
 
So that means that even while is a content patch, is a minor one.  Not even a point release.
 
That means, maybe not 6-8 hours were needed.  Maybe the other security stuff was taken with the prior patch in week.  Who knows!

{| class="blockquote"
is it because maybe...most games patch tuesdays so no one is playing? easy to make statistics say fewer players play tuesdays.... if you dont include all the information

It was stated many times by Blizzard.

{| class="blockquote"
and because they said it enough times... it must be true.
 
typically I would think sunday morning...since with the current demographic in gaming, hang overs, sleeping in or even religious obligations would come into play.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yes, when asked about it, they said that Tuesday AM US time (important that) was when the least number of players were online from their statistics.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
well, US time does cover several time zones

Also since game is relatively new, patches will be coming at odd dates for a while.  But I'm pretty sure they will adopt a fixed day in the future.
 
Like someone said in the forums before people whine at this game because:  
there is no patch in a week
there are more than 1 patch in the same week
there are no fixes, but a free and pointless (according to some people) bike
patches get released at different days of week (no consistency)
2 content patches in July
don't make class changes
make too much class changes
fix Kit Brinny look, because she didn't look like the flicks.
waste personnel (resources) on fixing Kit Brinny.  Art NOT EQUAL Programmers.  Duhh.
and lets not talk about class inbalance
Patches are announced using Pacific Time (new).
People, please, stop it.  If there are bugs, submit them, otherwise, shut up.

Hey there,
 
We have always said our patching schedule is from Tuesday-Thursday.  I know sometimes everything goes smoothly and we patch on Tuesday, but there are times where something might go wrong and we have to delay a day or two.  I understand you planned your big raiding night around us being perfect (thanks for the confidence) but like I said, the patch wasn't ready and since we still had two full days within our publicly known patch window, the call was made to hold it off until we could ensure a more stable patch.  My apologies again for affecting your raiding schedule.
 
The Devs are Listening.

			Well, considering people are reporting serious flaws after this patch went up, I can see why people are bitching.  Doesn't matter how awesome a patch is if you can't get the game to load or stay up for more than half an hour.

I'm going to go out on a limb and support the OP.
 
As an Oceanic raider you know because of patching times you can pretty much never raid if there's a patch that night. Carbine announces Tuesday is their intended patch day so everyone decides Tuesday is their night off and plans raids on some combination on Sun/Mon/Weds/Thurs. That would be fine if they were just consistent. But as has been shown previously in the thread they aren't even close to consistent with their patch cycle which ends up costing us a random raid night nearly every week. 
 
Yes it's a new game and inconsistency in patching is expected to a degree, but it's starting to get pretty annoying being shafted every time content is added.

{| class="blockquote"
I've seen literally tens of thousands of bugs reported on test realms that still make it to Live. Most of them in games larger than this one. When those bugs aren't considered game breaking, and they feel they have an action plan for dealing with them, that kind of thing happens. I wouldn't consider that a valid standard.
