Yay to another 4 hours of maintenance

[treekush]

YOu would think a MULTI annually billion dollar company would afford servers that do not require this length of maintenance.

[literallysame]

I don't know what you're talking about. They're a small indie company.

Of course they can avoid it, but there's no need to improve that since you'll pay for the game regardless, so it's best to keep it slower & cheaper.

Are you that addicted that you cannot even be offline for 4hrs per week?

[Hellobolis]

i'm personally just happy they still (mostly) do it at night. probably significantly cheaper to do it during the day.

You can't play WoW for four hours so you freak out? Sounds like Blizzard is doing you a favor honestly, hope they extend it for your sake, you clearly need a break.

[Gherothar]

Oh, this complaint again, almost every week for the past 16 years. OP must be new.

[jediknight12]

probably partly to allow for voting.

[CalamityHeart]

Oh shut the fuck up.

None of us have even the slightest idea what's involved in server maintenance, especially now that the pre-patch is live, the Scourge event is on the horizon, and Shadowlands content is not far behind that. It's not at all surprising that they would probably need to take longer on maintenance now then they would back when we weren't in the midst of new and upcoming patch content. Not everything can be solved with "get bigger/better/more servers, Blizzard".

It's 10 in the morning. Go eat breakfast, take a walk, and do something productive.

16+ hour maintenance from TBC says hi.

BTW, love the handle. It's almost 420 somewhere, blaze it!

[Dread Pirate Phayde]

Thank you for being the poster child of the entitled gamer.

[Halfaheart]

Aw poor guy can't login for 4 hours =(. Crazy how it's happened every tuesday for the past 10 years and still hurts feelings. What ever will you do?

[Cariboulou]

On the bright side, now you have 4 extra hours to spend making forum threads about it on sites you otherwise wouldn't have time to post on! Think of the possibilities.
Now that MMO-Champ knows about your excruciating suffering you should take your message across the whole internet. Let Reddit, Instagram, Tumblr and Facebook know about your pain as well!

..or just go get some food and do something productive during downtime.

Yes, you would think that if you didn't have a clue what the fuck you're talking about.

[Belloc]

This game gets bigger and bigger and you honestly expect them to be able to regularly shrink maintenance time? Do you really think that having money is enough to solve problems like these?

Quit wasting our time with these useless threads and stop throwing baby fits.

Ion said they have the best server tech on the market,im pretty sure its not legal to lie about that,its funny how people who have no idea how these tehnical things go talk as if they do..also the times have improved over the years

and as others have said....and a loading screen sais...take a break man,im honestly hoping blizz does 4 hours just so people have to stop playing

If you're life is so disrupted by the game being down for 4 hours, maybe you shouldn't be playing in the first place and find something more constructive to do with your time. It's no big deal man, things will be ok.

[Uputz]

Why buy better servers when they shit on the players and they stay.

[Mysterymask]

sigh..

THROWING MORE MONEY AT A MAINTENCE GUY ISN'T GOING TO MAKE MAINTENCE GO FASTER
THROWING MORE MAINTENCE GUYS INTO A TIGHT SPACE DOESN'T MAKE THINGS GO FASTER

Just because something is a multi billion dollar company doesn't mean its completely perfect and fullproof. Apple and Microsoft makes more money than most countries and SURPRISE SURPRISE they have bugs!

to be fair apple and microsoft have an insentive to make things bad so people keep buying them,they 100% could make a phone by now with no bugs that lasts more than 2 years,its all by design,they would go bankrup if they made an amazing phone
