I'm fairly tolerant of these sorts of things, based on the fact that I really have no idea what it takes to be on the developer side of this process, but in the middle of dXP and during prime time? After dXP was canceled and rescheduled? After the server was already down this morning? I'm callin' shenanigans.
There are no hard iTrials, only hard peo-... er... wait.
Was on mission 2 of a posi run - mind you, between the base bugs, the power recharge bug and having a cyst pop-up in a group of L15's, quitting wasn't that big a deal - but 15 minutes warning is pretty sad.

Well, I hope it fixes the continual "Lost connection to mapserver" I've been getting since last night. Quite happy to give up an hour now if it means I get to play for more than five minutes continuously afterwards.
I just rage quit to desktop, take that! Now watch Beta go down too :P

Can you guys get it right this time please? You already took an hour away this morning for emergency maintenance...

I don't think Freitag is going to be the one fixing anything, especially since he's something like 1500 miles from the servers.

Let them slide by. They can just as easily NOT fix a major problem as they can rush to ACTUALLY fix it. Have the devs EVER left us indefinitely out of the loop in the past when it comes to this stuff? No. There have ALWAYS been notes, whether it's immediately or hours after.
God. It's flooring how much entitlement people muster up from 15 dollars a month. I ***** a lot on the forums and not even I get that pissed when there's an hour downtime.
People who play MMOs are experts at occupying their time. Go do that for an hour.

It's easier to have patience and respect when we're given detailed information. Deathstroke has just as much right to post his perspective just as you do.

I can't play for an hour?!?!
My list of demands:
10,000 Paragon points on live
You admit Staff Melee is real and give me early access to it
Revamp Luddites
Tell me what the next Incarnate slots do
If you don't fulfill my demands, then this down time is a slap in the face.

[QUOTE=theOcho;3409811]As to the REAL reason I'll be leaving, I'm afraid it is indeed because Tamaki Revolution dc'd on me during a RSF.[/QUOTE]
yes we were in posi2 on the mission to fight orbenta(sp),cleared the map ,would not finish, if they do not want to tell us the problem before the servers go down due to exploit ,i understand ,but after they are down maybe tell us
Fluffy Bunny 1 Person SG
Rabid Bunny 1 Person VG
Both on Pinnacle
Hobbit's Hole 1 Person SG
Spider's Web 1 Person VG
Both on Freedom

It depends on if it actually fixes it or enables people to continue attempting workarounds. WoW kept players in the dark for exactly this reason a lot of times. Its not something people should rage over.

Devil's advocate moment : I'm all for respect or patience. But I'm sure you can understand that after canceling on rather short notice the first schedule of 2XP then already having several maintenances this week (one today in fact) people are getting miffed too. A bit of explanation from people in the know but not DIRECTLY involved with fixing the issue might be nice.|

Let's just hope it really runs for just one hour and not half the 2XP week-end.
I think they want to make certain we don't starve to death while PLing our characters.

No, you have no right to act like a spoiled brat over a very brief downtime during a 4 day double XP weekend that the devs were under no obligation to grant you in the first place. The fact that they willingly give you double xp weekends at all is something you should be grateful for.

For the record, i doubt calling people a dick on the internet is neither patient, nor respectful.
And also, i have the right to be a dick and will exercise that right should you tempt me further.

Grrr complain complain rage rage. This game is hard to enjoy playing sometimes, due to the multitude of ways it screws over its players... repeatedly. Whatever I'll practice my Tekkaman Blade combos in TvC UAS for a while. 28 Billion damage!
