I did not see much in the way of complaining when they took down the servers earlier this week to fix a glitch. It went down at 2:00 pm PST, so that is somewhat prime time for NA…but I might have missed the complaining.
Oh you missed a good show! The forums were drowning in the tears of the weak and impatient. I went through two bags of popcorn just reading it all.

Seriously? Man, I love the drama and crying so much. I am sad I missed it!
It’s okay! You’re here for this one! lol
You want to be careful doing that. If you stare too long into the stupid, the stupid also stares into you.
It’s funny though, Elite Dangerous is made by a British company and you have the same complaints coming from Americans. It’s not EU cry babies, it’s just cry babies. Other games have done a much better job of handling down time. I don’t see the harm in pointing this out.

These are the words of wisdom.
Very true, morning coffee and snacks ready to see the fun haha.
But really, it is almost like people have never dealt with downtime with other games. I remember trying to raid on WoW back in the day when the instances were so bugged and laggy you could not do anything…or the servers were literally down for 12+ hours
The downtime is mid-week, during working hours. It’s not prime time gaming hour in EU or NA. This is fine.

I think the OP was pretty clear that: “you all complain about it” and that, “Everyone lives in different time zones”,
No I have never been, nor am I now, a member of the European Union. I hail from far West of there.
While the OP’s post may seem like the time to point out nationality it actually doesn’t apply here. I’ve seen just as many of us complaining as I have EU players doing so.
One second I need more popcorn.
In Europe when they start at 2/3pm and last four hours plus it is certainly eating into prime-time.
Like I said, it’s no real problem, but other games do it better. Much better.
I’m sure people can live with it one day a week.
Agree’d, though I wish they were a little more accurate about the time the servers go back up, but there is nothing you can do so why get upset?

Can we just go back to complaining about the game being broke?

They give us a good timeframe. It’s impossible to be exact with something like this. Shit happens during maintenance that has to be dealt with. Sometimes that means an extra hour, sometimes it means the servers come back up early.
It all balances out eventually.
