What Morons pick a saturday morning to do a 3 hour maintenance that is fucking stupid. through the week would be the norm Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday when most people are working. Really appreciate getting off work to get online this morning and can’t because we have programmers that can’t think past there nose on what a good day for downtime is.

It’s called millennials aka strawberry generation
Because there are game breaking bugs, full int mages hitting full resilient heavy at 400 dmg and with them teabagging in healing circles make outpost rush a joke now
shut up
Or they could be like a modern software company and implement patches with rolling restarts, where all you have to do is log off and then log back in to get the latest software.
It’s not even that modern – Guild Wars has been doing it for over a decade.

This. I don’t understand why they couldn’t time this for when server populations were low due to people working or sleeping. So you pay your guys extra to work off hours versus annoying your player base.
Maintenance to try and fix bugs and to make the game more stable regularly? What are these devs even thinking!?!?!?
Be glad this MMO has updates on the regular. The staggering amount of known issues being present, investigated and resolved on a weekly basis is GOOD for the game. Be thankful we’re getting patches/hot fixes to keep this ball rolling. A lot of us want to see NW succeed and we can tell they are passionate in getting out these fixes patched. Would you want this game’s issues to pile so high that it literally breaks the game and force the Dev’s to turn around with a 6-8 hour maintenance every week? Also, they’ve configured maintenance times during the “o’dark hundred” hours for small maintenance windows for each region so it’s not hindering majority of players game time. Sure, not everyone is on the same time table, they understand it, at least it’s not during peek hours as much anymore. The weekend maintenance, well, it needs to be done early since EU was fixed first, NA is now which in EU, it’s more “prime time” for gaming, where in NA, it’s early in the morning which started at 6:30am (EST) until 9:30am (EST), not bad if you ask me, so, you lose 3hrs of NW gaming and you have the rest of the day to play afterwards. I’d rather have a 3 hr maintenance window 6:30-9:30am than mid day/evening where it’s prime time for NA.
And before ppl claim I’m “white knighting”, don’t, it’s common sense to know why times are reasonably chosen for regions. It used to be worse, remember? Remember maintenance would cut into “prime time” hours, now, it’s more reasonable for maintenance times.
There are worse things going on in life right now, 3 hours maintenance to resolve issues isn’t going to kill you. Go start some laundry, make some breakfast you’ve haven’t made in a while, like pancakes, toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and wash it down with some coffee. Enjoy it! Then, come back for some gaming!
I would be fine with a maintenance everyday if the patches actually fixed each bug/exploit.
If that’s what it takes
LOL how much did you guys pay for this game? I figure I started profiting around 20 hours of extremely cheap entertainment
According to Steam hours-played this game is a serious entertainment budget value, costing me only 12 cents per hour thus far!
Are you suggesting AGS undercut themselves on price?
I’m suggesting that people whine about patches “because they can’t use a product they paid for” on a product without subscriptions (and even if it HAD subscriptions) is silly in the extreme. the only way the game’s bugs get removed is Via patches shrug happens in every MMO and usually every expansion of every MMO… and sometimes patches for the patches in every MMO i’ve played
Greetings Adventurers, We are holding downtime on October 29th / October 30th for each region to fix the following issues. Downtime is expected to take 3 hours for each region. Please find the issues and start times for each region below: Trading Post contracts should complete properly and players missing gold should see their gold compensated Speculative fixes: The trading post issue should resolve server transfer for all players affected by this issue Please find the regional downtim…
nope still have the ghost orders in trading house and can’t transfer tks for nothing
I agree the subscription model used in other games is a turn off. I’m just wondering if there is a threshold where people can start to complain about excessive patches. If it’s not $40 is it $100, $200… ? And just to follow up on my comment. Keep in mind that there was an alpha, open and closed beta and multiple delays until the game was finally launched
Complaining about patches sure knock your socks off but the financial end of the complaint is rather dumb. personally, i am glad there trying to address problems quicker
people cries when maintenance extends, cries when there’s maintenance, cries when there’s no fixes on issues found, cries when no maintenance was done, nowadays people cries a lot for very little reason
They provide us hotfixes dude
Agree, I would never use the argument of price; I was being sarcastic in my first post. Of course everyone wants a bug-free game; I just hope AGS can do a better job finding and fixing bugs now, than they did during alpha/beta.
