I simply wish I knew why it had to go from 2 to 3 to OVER 8 hours a week just to post updates. Think about it, 2-3 to over 8 what the HE##??? OK I feel a little better.
ohh PS guys just for you sticklers!! it has "EVERYTHING" to do with 7 years of COH. USED to be 2-3 NOW 7 freaken years later its 8. |
And it's NOT 8 hours a week to patch. It's about 4 for a patch and MAYBE 4 for a maintenance. On the weeks that there are no patch there is no downtime on that Tuesday. Weekly maintenance has been on Thursdays for AGES now.
I'd rather have them take the time to make sure everything is working DURING THE WEEK then having the game crash constantly during mmo players prime-time: THE WEEKEND.
Also we JUST had issue 20 arrive (about a month now), so there need to be some stability patches and bug fixes for that. I'm perfectly fine with that, as there are some things that need to fixed such as the lag.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Ya know... there used to be *daily* maintenance.
It used to be that about every other patch introduced server instability that made playing for the next few days a horrible experience (e.g., hardcore rubberbanding) and required another 'server stability' patch... or two... in the following weeks.
It used to be that by Sunday evening, going the weekend without a maintenance period would make the servers crash.
So, what we have now is a pretty good thing.
Speeding Through New DA Repeatables || Spreadsheet o' Enhancements || Zombie Skins: better skins for these forums || Guide to Guides
Our data mining shows that everything is working as intended.
Yeahhhh 7 years!
