Seems to me that there are alot of issues left unaddressed with the most recent patch, despite the extension and emergency maint.
So let it be known that I’m for a day’s length of maintenance than have these syncopated shorts of “fun”.
Also, so we don’t have to waste any more Instances, coz damn guys, when will you ever learn to give a more prior notice than mere 10minutes?
Ehm, nope.
You might be able to not play for one day and have no issue with it, some others will rage over it (especially if its their only day off at work).
Emergency maintenances becomes a thing after bugs are known, believe it or not having 5~20 person doing the testing on IMC isn’t enough to make sure there’s no “critical” bug left, bugs that doesn’t matter much as they don’t really break the gameplay might have to wait till the next weekly maintenance to be fixed.
But still, sometimes you have to open the servers and let thousands of players check what’s going on to see if there’s critical bugs left or not, and depending on how critical they are, an additional emergency maintenance is scheduled sooner or later.
Trust me, I’ve been playing in Korean servers for years now (other games than ToS) and they always have that kind of stuffs, a weekly maintenance with content update would be weird if its not extended and followed by 2 more emergency maintenances.
I waited for so long before I play because I knew it was going to have issues. Jumped into 130 for some exp and then it tells me to rush the hell out of it.
If they’re going to do Emerg Maint, at least say it 30 minutes ahead of time, not 10. I hope they consider giving Instance Reset as compensation.
And instance reset compensation would be great, after all the game has been down for nearly 12 hour straight by now, but that’s all they can really give from their side as apology (in addition to the obvious token duration extension).
