I'll go out on a limb and say extended patch time is to .... prevent the Disco Amplifier from being used off Risa :eek:
You probably meant that as a joke. Nonetheless, it's actually a good idea! No device should be able to animate your toon without your permission. Not a biggie, of course; but yeah, being able to animate other people's toons should not become a trend.
Ya know, Disney buys up Wizard of Oz and pumps out all the Pixar stuff, but good luck finding Rescue Rangers stuff...OR what about the Gummi bears? Wouldn't they make a FORTUNE if they cross-marketed with the candy people?
I'm going to have to add this to the rules or something. Basically, "maintenance windows don't revolve around you." It's a US hosted game, and most people in the US are at work right now. Also, the guys doing the maintenance would have to be paid overtime to do it during weird hours, like 2am CST. Deal with it. If nothing else, heavens forbid if you don't get a chance to play today, you'll get to play tomorrow and through the weekend, maintenance-downtime free. With plenty of days left to get your 1000 pearls for your Corvette.
Kids these days, even most adults, Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie NOW! I remember playing 'Star Fleet Battles', paper pencil figurines on a paper map, had to wait a week to get at least 4 guys together to play a game, and then it was bust if somebody was out of town. Cant tell you how many cold's and flu's we shared just so we could play our beloved 'Trek'. The 'Only' reason that counts as to why I play this game is that I get to be in my beloved Trek. Yeah, this Trek will never be perfect or the exact way I want it or WHEN(downtime) I want it. But I understand that the world does not revolve around me and I have to wait for other people to do their thing so that I can do mine.
will you be able to use tractor beam and thalaron pulse at the same time?

If they are taking extra time JUST to fix it so your toon wont dance?? when you don't want it to?? vs 100 thousand more important things - I am going to barf!!!

Not taking it personally don't worry. I wouldn't consider it passive I just don't see what making a whine post/cryptic hate post like others will achieve, if you approach the matter calmly, state the issue clearly in a forum post and ticket and wait for them to get back in touch, if they fail to get back in touch then continue to badger them about it, there's a Facebook page, Twitter etc, fair enough this post could be considered as one of those routes but in the sea of whine it becomes the complaint/issue will be lost.
Ok, so maybe saying 'I know there'll be a fix' was a bit optimistic but there are fixes to issues all the time, if your issue isn't in the current/next patch notes then repeat process get in touch with them, ask if they are aware of the issue, if they are aware ask if they have an ETA for a fix, if they don't then at least you know they're aware.
Don't mistake my patience for passiveness or complacency. I understand there are plenty of issues and will wait patiently in line!
Fair enough.
Keeping in mind that just because someone complains about something it doesn't make them a whiner. Just as "calmly waiting inline" doesn't necessarily mean a person is passive.

Well now you're just toying with us.
Always overestimate your repair factor by 4, that way when you bring the servers back up in 2 - or anything less than 8 people won't be as jaded.

Without complaints, nothing would get fixed. IMO
