    Nightly server restarts.. growing annoying

    I know you guys have patches and what not, but a server restart EVERY DAY? For people like me that have strange hours, it grows REALLY annoying to log on and get the server message after 20 minutes every night.

    It's growing ridiculous. Rant over.

    Editted to be nicer after I've calmed down. Damn kneejerk reactions.

    I have little to no problem with it. I always expect it, and adjust what I'm doing accordingly. But, I can understand why someone would find it annoying, especially if that is the only time they can play.

    A lot of people have contacted live chat support and other methods of the support about that and got it fixed. Well, they kept track of their kills via screenshots, etc, and were handed what was rightfully theirs.

    Outside of that, it's a half hour. Not that large a chunk of time.

    I seem to find myself coming back to DCUO but again, they do the same thing. Two hours from now DCUO will have a half hour long server shutdown. These are performed every night at the same exact time. Instead of seeing a notice that the servers are coming down on the forums you may instead rarely see a notice saying it was canceled.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Defiance started doing this nightly.

    it sucks if the server down time is during the only time you have to play, but these things are necessary to keep the servers as stable as possible, it's not like they do them just for the LOL of doing them.

    it serves a purpose, and eventually over time they may stop or lessen as the game gets more stable. Also during these downtimes, I'm almost positive they try to get in some bug fixes. I could be wrong though.

    Haven't even looked at that Life of the Ark Hunter problem. I was wondering why that number was so small each time I looked at it but I'll doublecheck it. Thanks!

    I probably wouldn't mind as much but it falls on the time that I think about playing after getting off work. I"ll have to adjust but it just slowly has been annoying me. Apologies for being brash.

    They are clearly shutting down the servers just to make you mad. No other reason.

    Do only one type of arkfall: Hellbugs or Scrappers, you mix both and you pursuit stats will very likely reset. As for server restarts, I don't mind it late at night. I'm a decently patient insomniac, so I wouldn't doubt if Trion did nightly resets from now on.

    I'd rather see them do restarts in the middle of the night than during primetime (you know, when the majority are playing?) but that's just me.
