You are paying for a wonderful game which has been changed into a hybrid model. With change comes problems, and the problems must be fixed....on Tuesdays
Eventually they will smash all the bugs and hiccups, but, until then, well, I will have lots of wonderful homemade breakfasts cooked my way on Tuesday mornings to look forward to

There are a lot of bugs to stomp at the moment. Problems with the costume creator, problems with being out of phase in the new phasing missions, problems with crashing when zoning for the first time after logging in.
Plus, they're activating the 'Who Will Die - Part 2' content.
Patches are Tuesdays, maintenance is Thursday. That's just the way it is.
Hell, I don't expect to be able to log in ANY morning after 7, as the servers used to go down for maintenance at this time every day.

But the downtimes will go back to just the weekly maintenance eventually, I'll give you that.

They are using the system. Patching and taking down when they want. In the end they don't really need to justify anything they do. What are you going to do about it? Nothing. Sad but true.

Well up to a point that's true. If it gets too bad you can just drop your level to premium for a few months till it gets better.
The new business model actually encourages you to voice your disapproval in this manner. You still have access to the game and 99% of the features but you have 100% of your money.
I've poked around but, don't see any notes. Has there been any word on how long the downtime will be?
Well, the half-day and five-times-a-week downtimes have ended. So, empirically, it has gotten much better. So, as things improve.... why is there an outcry as if this is brand new?

@OP
It is very annoying for you that the server downtime coincides with your playtime, it coincides with mine as well. But, I'm sure the devs don't do it at this time of day just to annoy us, they have to do it when 'most' folks are not playing. I'm sure if they ran a poll to choose which time of the day they did patching and maintenance this would be the time when less folks were playing - it just happens to be our bad luck that it coincides with our playtimes. Hopefully things will get back on an even keel and it will return to once a week soon.
There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. ~Author Unknown
Patches on Tuesdays, server maintenance on Thursdays. We tend to get a lot more patches in the weeks after a new Issue release than the weeks before the release of a new Issue.
