This game must be the most maintenance intensive game I ever played.
My problem is I can play mostly in the morning and alm,ost never on the weekends. I can't play this game. One morning out of two is wasted. I played CoH a few years ago and came back to it recently, but I remember now it was also a major source of inconvenience for my particular shcedule at the time. I got worse, much worse.
I'm no expert, but WoW was not like that, Tabula Rasa was not like that, Guild Wars is not like that.
Thursday 8th, Tuesday 13th, Wednesday 14th (I do not know about Monday, I assumed it was on regular maintenance, so I planned something else). And the week before double XP, it was patch time over additional maintenance.
They tell you maintenance is comming, normally the day before in the afternoon. I can't plan anything with so short a notice.
I'm so disappointed, I like the game, but I'm kept out of it most of my personal time.
I need to find some new game to play, but it is absolutely not what I want to do. I'm sad, I just love my toons.
I see nothing to do but endure or move, great. Maybe I'm missing something, but multiple maintenance a week on live server does not seem professional to me? Once a week, quite fine. Take your time. Twice a week? Oh well, the game is good so go ahead. Three or four times a week? Well... that's a lot of maintenances... does not look right to me.
I suspect very difficult architecture because the alternative would be that they don't give a damn and I do not think it's the case. I mean, they certainly don't give a damn about me personnaly, but I like to beleive they are prisonner of the architecture of the game database or something like that.
I might never know, anyway it does not change anything. I would just prefer to be able to play, if I had a choice.
Of course I'm a kind of newbie and I can hardly beleive it's the first time someone express the same view as I do, so I expect the beating I'll receive in the following posts. I was unable to create a new tread elsewhere. I know it's futile, but I want to do 'something' instead of loading a new game on my hard drive. Push back the inevitable.
Have a great day, playing just a little bit latter, somethign I would very much like to do.
