Do the servers have to go down every night just when I get on? This is more than frustrating!!

Why cant they pick different time everyday?

Why do they have to shut them down everyday?

Why cant I just play my game?

    It doesn't happen every night, it seems your timing is off a bit. Sorry to learn of your trouble but really it's getting more stable all the time.

    EVE does the same, each day.

    Large servers need maintenance, and they're choosing the time-slot in which the smallest amount of users are affected. So, even if it's prime-playing-time for me, I can't really blame them.

    I'd rather have two hours less of gaming then ever-crashing servers.

    Yeah, every night does get old. But when I log back on and read the patch notes, it usually cheers me up a bit. Hopefully they add some nice changes to the game with this one that will cheer me up once again.

    Like the Materials mission on Klingon side that can *NOT* be turned in? That would be a nice fix...

    Yes, the servers HAVE to go down every night. Same time so you can get use to it. Game gets better every time too.

    Schedule around this. If you can not schedule around it that is sad and you may need to stop playing game. Sorry, just the way it works.

    Someday better. :)

    You can mostly expect these maint cycle everyday or couple of days for the first six months or so. This is typical of new large-scale MMO's.

    If they didn't then people would yell they aren't fixing bugs..

    Can't win..

    Do you think Im the only one kicked offline while in the middle of a mission. This time I did not even see a warning. There were plenty of people playing. They need to be fair about this. They need to close the servers down a different time everyday. This is a world wide server. They need to manage this better. Saying stuff like why dont you just quit is stupid. Why dont they close the server down everday right when you get on and see how you like it!!

    Oh and who are you Tepis?

    This is not weekly. This is at least the fourth time in a week they did this!

    I find myself stuck with the same unfortunate timing. I know it's obnoxious but as the others said, it's short term headache for hopefully long term stability. Don't quit! Just hang in there. ^^

    You really should start playing EVE. It has a serverdown every day.

    Oh, and if you quit, can I have your stuff?

    My last questions then I will stop. Is it that they are fixing glitches? Or are they making the game exactly the way some people want it because of all the whining here on the forums. I think there should be more time between fixes. I would like to play the game now. Before they make to many changes. Im not sitting here on the forums all the time whining about this and that. I just want to play this game. All everyones whining does is keep the game down for longer and longer periods of time. Really folks all it comes down to is. If the game is really that bad for you then you should quit! It seems like most of the posts here are from those who really hate this game. All of these who say Im going to keep saying this and that until I quit. Do us all a favor and just shut up. I almost never rant. But I saw my other MMO get ruined by cry babys. It was so bad almost everyone quit then they just shut down the servers. I dont want to see that happen here. Everyone who whines and says their quitting only makes things worse for those of us who want to keep playing. Just tell Crytic about it and keep the rest to yourself!

    Im done now! I said my peace!

    I know I keep editing this. I just want to thank everyone for listening and posting. I just had to vent!

    ummm because it's not just your game

    Seriously it's only a hour

    60 minutes

    is it that big a deal?

    Can you find nothing other too do for a hour?

    i bet you spent 10 minutes already crying about the server being down

    so you only have 50 more minutes too go :p

    Eve online is totally different..

    It's a known downtime, same time, 1 hour, every night. people plan around it.. It's an established basic operation of the game.

    Not to mention that Eve has litterally thousands of star systems, and about 100 times the content and a database that is what I would only imagine insane in size.. It's an understandable requirement.

    This game? Not so much.

    and i'd rather have a flexible server architecture in a heavily instanced game that does not require server downtimes at all, a la guild wars.
