Why can’t they patch the world as I run through it? I pass a tree, I turn around, and that tree is now twice as patched. Just do it that way, Amazon. Also, use my Echo to see when I’m sleeping and patch my server then… come on, what kind of AI ruled future are you even creating?
not only that but it only takes “days” to isolate, write code to fix a bug, QA it and release to production for a product that is world wide handling at least 250,000 concurrent users.
Why don’t they just fucking adjust their downtime to each region. US is just here to wait for their serv to be up with a coffee (but even for the US, they’re also TZ depending for some states).
So please, just plan it correctly and update each region during the night, it would be great.
The most infuriating thing is that there is no ETA. Why ?
It’s sad that it takes 5 + (insert random number) hours to apply a minor (because .0.x is counted as minor i guess) patch.
How much time would it take to apply a major patch, or a real content update / DLCs ? A whole day ? Or more ?
The problem is, that they only care about US time, where it’s mostly off time (03:00-08:00 AM at LA) but in EU it’s the middle of the afternoon.
There is no cross play between regions, so why not apply the patches in 3 AM each region separately ?
There is no sorry for them, the mother company is one of the (if not THE) richest company in the world, we player doesn’t care about their excuses, especially they make all the patches in the EU daytime. There is no sense in global patch time, it should be applied individually at night each region.
