I really don't mind the patches if it makes the game runs better then so be it. With all the issues with monsters not spawning or glitching out so you can't kill them if a patch helps then who cares if its an hour or so of downtime. there is always another day or a little later down the road.
For the record, the server downtime for the small patch, 1.016, has been extended by two hours (meaning 3h30m of total downtime; Source: http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...l=1#post657610). This is why you never patch during peak hours.
I imagine that Trion will make an official statement like this soon:
"Sorry we were unable to patch this pile of shtako, so we made a decision to have some fun and bought us hoes for the remaining money.
On your side you still can get some fun with your hands.
-with best regards, Trion."
How dare they patch during 5 o'clock... Wait a minute it's always 5 o'clock somewhere... Ok never mind I'm good.
Sorry European holidays are only a couple of hours long in the states they last ALL DAY!!!
Feeling sorry for the EU players now.. Take the servers down at 5pm on a holiday and than extend the downtime from 1h 30m to 3h 30m.. You guys should be able to get on by 8:30 - 9 pm.. Hope you don't have to get up for work early.
He is correct, according to this it has been made known since the 17th
