So I come to find out that they decided to do there 3am server patch now at peak time cause the server went down anyways. Really? Who's f'n boneheaded idea was that? Here's what needs to happen take him/her out back to the dumpster, flog them with any and all blunt objects in the dumpster, proceed to throw them in the dumpster, and finally for the love of Kirk put the blunt objects in charge.
Oh shut up, an hour ago it was the europeans complaining that the downtime was schedualed during there PEAK time, now your *****in cause its interfering with you.
So I come to find out that they decided to do there 3am server patch now at peak time
Server crashed; they need to restart it anyway; so they need an emergency maintenance that lasts anywhere between 1 and 3 hours anyway. Could as well do the patching now.
As for "peak time"; the server is not for US players only. 3AM is European peak time. So half of their customer base would still feel it is a bad time. No real solution there; but having an emergency maintenance + a normal patch maintenance on the same day would be stupid.
To people posting in all threads complaining about server down time: No. TRIBBLE you guys.
This is a legitimate complaint. The server has been having non-scheduled down time constantly during peak hours. It is not an overly difficult task to make a near-zero downtime server architecture. If this game was either a one-time fee or even free, we would have no time to complain. Threads like this exist to remind Cryptic and the STO team that this is a serious issue.
Sometimes complaints have their place. This thread is one of those places. Cryptic needs to get their **** together. End of story.
Love the made up pic there. However you should remember that "peak time" varies. In my time zone it is currently 11:23pm. Not 3am.
Note: I'm not complaining here. Just reminding you of this little fact. It doesn't bother me that they decided to do the patch now. I'm a night owl to begin with so I'll be quite happy when it comes back up and I'm able to play the rest of the night.
Here in Australia, I'm pretty happy with it done now too.
It's 3:30pm here right now. As far as I'm concerned, get it out of the way, then I've got the evening to play. Assuming, of course, that there's not another server crash (and yeah, I realise that's a pretty big assumption).

3am PST or 12PM (lunch time) IS NOT PEAK TIME despite what Europeans will tell you.

My, aren't we a self important type of person. Here's a hint, get a life. The world is not ending just because there is down time on a server.

Lol Sorry i really doubt cryptic really pays attention too every crybaby thread about the server being down since the QQ'ers post like 500 whenever it is down

They're working on that; server stability has improved a lot since beta. We'd have 4 crashes a day by then; and we didnt have one in a few days now. Things are going better. But it can be a very difficult task to have a near-zero downtime architecture.
Many MMO's have DAILY maintenance... so yeah they don't crash; but they're taken down a couple of hours EVERY DAY. That's part of a zero-downtime?
I dont care so much about the downtime as the desicion to **** everyone over with no warning if you say your going to do something @ 3am then do it at 3am don't say aw well they won't mind its none of there concren anyhow thats called professionalism and cryptic needs a refresher course
*psst* it's not 3 am PST currently. It's 11:31pm PST atm.
Psst, the original scheduled down time was starting at 3am PST, pssst Europeans are claiming 3am PST, or like 12pm/1pm in most European countries is "peak" time.
3am PST is NOT European peak time, it is Japan/Aussie peak time if any peak time at all.
Saturday; 11am-1pm for uk; noon to 2pm for central europe... sounds like a peak time here; sure it's not as much a peaktime as early evening; but on a saturday... people have a free afternoon; and usually go out on evening
Pretty much 24 hours a day is someone's peak time. You're going to disrupt someone's playing time no matter what time you do it.
I've been outside of the United States, so I know that there are actually other places that people live. It's not just something that I've seen on TV or the Internet, or heard about from someone else. I'm not as self-centered as some people...

Ah I see what you're saying now. NVM my post then.

Its not peak time. Peak time is 5pm-11pm generally. Obviously depending on your job your personal peak time could be different, but the recognized peak game time is generally from 5pm on to 12am.
Complaining about not being able to play during mid day is silly.
I can't play during my peak time during weekdays because I live in Japan and work a full time job. To hear Europeans ***** and moan about not being to play at 12-2pm makes me really angry. Especially since I don't complain about the sever going down from 7pm to 9pm for me.
What makes it worse is that these Europeans get really nasty about Americans, and honestly looking at it from Japan, Europeans look like worse people than Americans.
ive been to about 3 so far the usa isnt the center of the universe you know
try learning some geography !!!!
See this is the problem with the US/Europe relationship.
The USA has some REALLY REALLY loud obnoxious morons that won't shut the hell up. These morons are also extremely arrogant and pretend like they are educated and claim that they are really smart. Furthermore, they claim to speak for the majority of the US, who are actually quite respectable, hard working, HEALTHY people. We're not all fat, we're not all ignorant and we're not all loud and annoying like that ignorant moron who you were responding to.
What you guys, as in, the rest of the world, need to do is to stop celebrating these morons and ignore them entirely, like we do. Life will be much better for you, trust me.

There's this place... called Europe, where there are a few hundred million people living... Yeah... you might have heard of it? *sigh* Stupid people.
can we get restrictions on sig size please....
TRIBBLE oh its not your sig... sorry. its still obnoxious
Sure further east into Europe and add 2-3 more hours, still not peaktime now.
Stupid indeed.
