Yeah so 7-9 now, which sucks..

As a result, as of Monday, September 28th, the regular bi-weekly server maintenance times will be modified and will take place on Mondays and Fridays from 4:00 AM Pacific Time (7:00 AM Eastern Time / 12:00 PM British Time / 13H00 Central European Time) to 6:00 AM Pacific Time (9:00 AM Eastern Time / 2:00 PM British Time / 15H00 Central European Time). from Avatea!

There goes my early morning TF's

gg..

And before all the, "omg it's not that bad and I love everything they do," people show up... There are very few things I have complained about in my 4.5+years here, and this I do not like.. And I get that it's probably the "least amount of people on" time or some such, but it makes sad panda sad.

Heh, it's worse for those Down Under, it's 9pm or there abouts I think. There are also some in the EU who lose their afternoons play.

You think you've got it tough, the downtime is now 9-11 for Australian EST.

Isn't this the same as its been for a while now?
That's 8am-10am US Central, which is what it has been.

Thats exactly what I was referring to... I have a few really good friends I run stuff with around 6-8am... Which really sucks.. Granted it's only Monday and Friday with a Tuesday tossed in every so often, but it still sucks...

BTW for me that American who likes to and the only oppo. time to play is in the morning I think I like it. I'd get into work and be able to do some WW stuff be4 the server crashed. There was no time for me to do a TF.. and then I'd get busy by the time the servers came back up. Now I need to just wait and do stuff w/o the worry of the unexpected server downtime like last Friday.

Not that my opinion matters, but the new times don't affect me. I'm either still asleep or getting ready for work. In either case, no complaints from the peanut gallery

I was off work Friday morning and got a warning at the 30 minute mark. I finished a mission 5 minutes later and logged out to eat breakfast.




Still confused why there was an announcement of the *new* times. They're not new.

Time was 9 am EST with the ocasional 8 am one with warning.

Here is the announcement of the new times, which are a 2 hour difference.

Not sure how you got a warning Friday I didn't and the lack of "warning message" was a topic of discussion in a few global channels.

Yeah, I saw that. I must be gone bonkers because those seem like the same times and dates from before. Maybe when I happened to play maintenance days it was on one of the "occasional" days, because I had 8-10am in my head. Guess its a good thing I'm at work then, normally. anyway.

I remember thinking "oh, yeah, its Friday. Guess I'll get some eats and then play Europa Universalis: Rome" But, I already admitted I may be bonkers.

*shrug*
I return you to your normal oddity.

edit: not that you're specifically odd. I meant the normal Justice discussions uncluttered by Chyll.

The times are a little better for me, usually getting stuff squared away around six, then turn the computer on 7 or later, which is right about when they would go down. Then I split for the day about the time they would come back up. Now I get a few min to poke markets before heading out.

9pm in aus is no fun, though :/

yeah, I do feel bad for Aus folks, especially since that's prime gaming time. Makes it hard to schedule anything big on those days.

No. Not the same. And it isn't 8am to 10am US Central, it's 6am to 8am US Central. There is only a 2 hour difference between Pacific Time and Central Time, not a 4 hour difference.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Not much fun in Japan, either.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

No. It was 7-9 Central Time.
Now it's 6-8 Central Time.

Was playing a bit this morning and got the Admin blurb and went "HUH!?!?!?". Then I remembered the time change.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
