Seriously? Is this a joke?
 
Yesterdays the servers went down for HOURS in the middle of the day, and today, AGAIN, the servers go down for at least one hour...
Are those people seriously THIS incapable of reading a clock?
Do your damn restarts at NIGHT. This is unbelievable, i have never seen a MMO before that regularly went down during the day...
Maybe some emergency shutdown or whatever, but what sane person would ever plan to shut their servers down, when people are trying to play?
 
You know there are hours where the server is basically empty, like 4 in the morning, right?
If you don't want do work during the night, and have to shut down the servers when people want to play, you seriously lose every last right to complain about leaving players.
 
I am seriously trying to love this game as much as i can, just yesterday i saw an ingame scene, that excited me so much and blew my mind... (Saw the end of Veteran Gauntlet for the first time and i LOVED it)
But all the work they did by adding great game content, is just ruined by the fact, that every few days we can't play, and have to play something else,
which causes more and more people to stick with the games that are NOT... well... shut down all the time...
 
I played Minecraft for a few hours when the game was down a few days ago, and after a few hours i just had to wonder... do i even want to go back?
Now i have to play something else AGAIN... 10 Min ago i was excited for Wildstar, in an hour i am wondering "Do i even want to play Wildstar?" AGAIN...
Thanks for that guys!
 
Seriously, the server down times here are the worst i have ever seen, and i can't understand why those people literally scare their customers away on purpose...
 
(btw, the security system on this site is garbage, "IP based authorisation or get an email every time you want to post something"... genius!)
(Also, the naming on this site is stupid as hell, I am Jade, not 47978 or whatever my name says in the corner)
(Also, the 1 post per 1000 years limit that you get when you don't have 500 posts already, is also completely stupid. I have a lv 50 character on this account and still can't "talk properly"... In normal MMO lv 10 or something around that, removes your "talk limit" )
(Also, to the 90% of the people that just fanboy the game and call me troll... No u!)
 
As they say in Canada...
 
Peace oot!

			In Alaska, it's 11pm, 2300 for those of us that are Vets, or are serving.. It's late. This is the perfect time for the servers to go down truth be told, I as actually about to head to bed myself, I just thought I'd actually poke on the forums first to see if there was a thread like this one out there, I'm not surprised. Keep your cool man, everything'll be alright, Just either wait patiently, cry about it on the forums, or play a single player game to get your mind off of the server maintenance.

			its an hour at midnight PST.... seriously youre crying about an hour? its also fixing a bug with raids that a lot of people are experiencing. i could see if it was maybe 4-8 hrs down time then yea raise an eyebrow maybe but an hour? please just go find something to entertain yourself.

			To be completely fair, it isn't daytime for a lot of people and time zones are a thing...

You guys know that servers have independent power switches right?
When you push the power off button on your server in merica, the server in Europe doesn't shut down too...
 
If it does... They lose their right to complain about losing players even more, because this is just sloppy craftsmanship... :P
 
(Amazing, after only 2 posts i am suddenly allowed to actualy just simply... POST!)
 
(Edit, no, yesterday the server went down for multiple hours:
On October 28, 2015 at 4:00am PDT / 7am EDT / 11am UTC there will be an NCSOFT Account Maintenance.
Before the account maintenance has finished, at 6:20am PDT / 9:20am EDT / 1:20pm UTC, all WildStar realms will additionally be down for maintenance.
No matter how weird this is phrased, the servers were not down "30 minutes before finish" the servers were down at least 2-3 hours before that.
Man... they really only seem to own one server... don't they?)

Yeah it's an hour, calm your farm. It's also 6pm here and I'm not particularly bothered by it.
 
Wasn't yesterday also down for not even half an hour?

Isn't it Night for ALL of america? That's why it's a GOOD idea, to update the US servers at this time.
But it is NOT night for the EU, why are THOSE servers shut down? It's a completely HORRIBLE idea...
They surely are NOT the same physical machine, because that would COMPLETELY destroy the purpose of splitting the servers into 2 different regions... right? XD
Really don'T understand this whole "ALL servers down" thing... Why is it ALWAYS ALL? Why can't they work on the servers seperately? I mean... Do the same people that work on the US server, work on the EU server?
Because i am pretty sure it's still near impossible to have a low ping, if you are playing on the other side of the world, which means that there IS an actual physical machine, standing in the EU, which means that they do NOT need to shut it down, when the US one goes down...
 
It just boggles my mind...
I bet it has something to do with NCSOFT's weird authentication garbage, and that they need to shut that down before they can actually work on the servers, or something equally obscure...
 
Wish they had not set up their whole system this bad, and could actual provide a decent service...

I've played a sizeable number of MMOs in my time and if hanging around their forums has taught me anything it's that there's never a "right" time to do maintenance. Someone, somewhere, will always complain that you take down the server during their prime time.
 
You're running an international server or do maintenance on servers in different regions at the same time? You're going to upset someone.
 
You do maintenance on each region's server during a time that corresponds to somewhere between 3 to 7am for that region? Nice try, you're still going to find someone who wonders why you can't do maintenance when nobody wants to play. Like, say, from 10 to 14 'cause who in their right mind would want to play then, aye?
 
You try to accomodate for the fact that it's always happy hour someone's play time and only do maintenance once a month at the same schedule every month? Nope. It's totally going to take someone off guard that your maintenance is when your maintenance always is. And what's with the huge delay between patches? There's been a single pink pixel in the bottom left corner of the UI for two whole weeks now, why is this not getting fixed nao?
 
 
No matter what they do, apparently devs just can't win.
 
Anyone play the first Guild Wars? I remember some people being upset that when there was a patch they had to relog at their leisure to apply it.

			Let 'em work, game will get better because of it, and you get to do something else with that time. Win-win!
