you guys should go read why it’s being taken down for maintenance
but definitely feel the frustration from not being able to play if you’re in a different time zone outside of the states

I don’t mind that they need to take it down. My issue is they keep doing it at the same time every night. So for OZ/NZ players (who also have servers and play the game) we’ve had effectively three nights we have not been able to play the game. Do they not think that there are other countries in the world. We pay too so why are we impacted the most.

It’s impossible playing this game half the time with these patches. Glad some of us that work shift work can only play for 2 hours a day 
They can’t please everyone, they just do it when online is at the bottom. And it’s very nice that they fix stuff every day.
Again, I agree it’s good that they are doing the patches, but they could spread it around a little. I’m sure NA could handle one night of a patch.

fortunate thing is that this downtime is planned for only 90 minutes i guess, lol
but the more bothersome issue is the fact that loads of people managed to take advantage of all those named mobs dropping enough gear for them to get Greatsword expertise up to 600
and whatever other targeted named items they were looking to farm
spawn rate/drop rate/tables were insane
so majority of us who were actually just playing the game/storyline etc kinda get “screwed”

I think the patch is super important. And these things happen. So I don’t mind them fixing these things. My issue is around spreading the timing of the patches around just a bit.
However, on your second point. Those people madly rushing to get named drops to get their GS expertise up are missing out on actually enjoying the game and will be the first to leave the game anyway when they get ‘bored’ so I wouldn’t worry:)

If they did maint during NA primetime, the servers that run these forums would burst into flames from the stampede of enraged Karens posting complaints.

I know. But like I’m in Karen mode right now. Even if they did it at 3pm EST time that would still be outside of our time. There’s 24 hours they don’t have to do it the same exact time.
I completely agree with you, and I reside in US East. It’s a shame they can’t do rolling updates during each time zone’s low point. Barring that, it would be only fair to spread update times around a bit so everyone shares the pain.

3PM EST is actually when the game peaks worldwide. (EU primetime)
5-6P ET wouldn’t be as disruptive, tail end of EU and before NA prime.

Thats been the name of the game for new world since the beginning.
He who abuses early before the ninjafix prospers.
Everyone else is left exponentially behind,
each and every time.
Its one of the reasons for the fresh start server hype.

The wisdom of delaying FSS to Nov 2 is paying off.
As for the ninafix prosperers…to each their own, I guess. I’ve barely touched BS yet (finally got my sunscreen today lol). I’d rather wait for them to smooth things out to deliver the intended experience. I’m not into shortcuts. This is all we’re getting for a while.
Oh I stopped sweating while playing this game back in May or June.
Admittedly Ive enjoyed BS so far with 2 4+ hour
play sessions that I hadnt done since May or June.
But thats also because I just completely gave up on even trying to get into wars a long time ago, and just do whatever I feel like instead.
It sucks. But as a person who played before all the merges, when the game was more dead than it was leading up to this update, whatever it takes to fix stuff is worth it. With that said, if they take too long to fix stuff, we might be back in those dark times again.

Yeah pretty bad stuff idd, i have like 1h30 from 7h30 to 9h in Portugal to play and cannot play :S a bit annoying.
At the end of the day i dont even try because of queues.
Is this kind of stuff that make players leave, we try to adapt and play in early morning because 3h+ of queue, for me, is not fun.
So if we cant play on afternoon because of queues and in the morning because of maintenance, i move on to another game, for sure.
Please do maintenance like from 3AM to 6/7AM plenty of time to fix stuff.
Pretty good that AGS do these fast patches. Not sure why you are complaining when they fix things.
