    Server fixes need to be timed differently.

    Wile I know the servers need to come down and be fixed from time to time. I wish you guys would rotate the times for them. 10 am PT every day is getting a little annoying.I don't mind them being down once in a wile at 10 am but can you maybe bring the servers down an hour earlier or later on a rotating basis?

    This time period is both, late enough in the morning for the Trion team to have time to get their coffee and prepare the update, yet early enough to not be at any PEAK server uptime Most people are either at work or at school right now, assuming the good old 9-5. the EU servers get lucky because their downtime happens after midnight(unless emergency maintenance is needed)

    Ya this is becoming annoying for me too. I try to play when it is not so busy and since most people are at work the servers are not so laggy right now. World Of Warcraft tends to have server downtime every week but those tend to be more than an hour so I guess we are lucky. I think every single day is a bit excessive. What they need to fix is contracts and pursuits resetting and where it keeps saying what co op maps are available every single time I finish a mission! I already saw for the 100th time what co op maps I can play!

    I have long advocated that developers have a rotating patch schedule... keep the same day but move it forward another hour each time you patch.... so 10am one week the next week should be 11am, and so on.

    This way no one could complain that there patch times are biased against a particular timezone or country.

    It's an hour. No life is so empty that an hour makes a difference.

    Yes, it's there, and no, you probably haven't completed it all.

    I would like it if they had big messages that would pop up and inform you of the servers going down an hour before it happens, 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 15, 10, 5, and then 1 minute, giving people ample time to finish up stuff.

    Ahh. But in that hour my kids are taking naps. Which is prime time for me to be playing. Other times I am doing stuff with my kids. Hence why I asked for a rotating time.

    maybe, but some people probably dont get much more than hour to play a day, in my case the patches seem to hit right when i am first getting ready to play for the day, luckily i have lots of free time so its only a minor annoyance
