Prepping players for when servers go down

[Wookie]

I love that in game there is an announcement sayin servers going down in xx minutes for maintenance. But i lose track of time/forget and BAM it goes down, and i think its my connection .... Any chance on a 30 second/15 second/5..4..3..2..1 announcement?

Also really stinks to be mid arkfall and BAM down it goes, any chance when scheduled maintenance is to happen to make sure that arkfalls are done, say maybe no new arkfalls within 30 minutes of shut down or something?

Finally, be nice to log into game and see "server maintenance from 10-11am/date" so that you dont have to log onto forums to see why you cannot connect.

Thanks for a wonderful game and all the hard work!

They actually give an alert/countdown every 15 minutes starting at an hour out, so you know far in advance when there is a server shutdown.

Right, i may just be needy lol, but a seconds countdown i think would be handy, especially if you just logged in inside the last 15 minute announcement

If they do it's not very obvious. I'm on the 360, it's done it almost every day, and I don't recall seeing a warning yet.

There are warnings for:

30 minutes
15 minutes
5 minutes ( I think, not sure. )
2 minutes
Now ( About to happen )
