    Downtime

    Hi all,

    Anybody out there wanna take a stab at guessing how long the downtime is going to be? I know Sledge said 4 hours but we all know their estimates have been underestimated with past patches. Maybe it's 4 hours this time due to the large patch or maybe they're just covering their a**es (in which case, good job). Anyway, I'm confidently guessing a six hour downtime with extensions included. Anybody else?

    P.S.

    I do like that a lot of things are getting tweaked and fixed (UI, sniper rifle scopes, and arkfall weapon rewards among them) but I still wanted to have a little fun and get the forum involved. So... 6 hours for me. You?

    I'm guessing the initial outage will take only 3.5 hours. Then the game will be up for 2 hours and then down for 6 hours.

    a better question might be "How many people will be complaining about the unexpected and unannounced downtime?"
    Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
    Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
    Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
    Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.

    I think the downtime is going to be exactly four hours, and if you log in right when servers go up you'll get sucked in like Tron.

    Right, totally forgot about Freightyard. I'm fairly confident that thing is getting broken again

    Yeah that's pretty much what I'm thinking as well.
    The forums gonna be filled galore with people complaining that it's taking too long.

    I wouldn't be suprised if they were expecting 2 hours and said 4 hours in case problems arose they would have time to work on them. Past experience may be shining through.

    I honestly dont mind a little extrs downtime as i understand stuff happens. Its the patch sizes i worry about. My net at home is slow since i live in a rural area and its the only option i have at a whopping 120kb/s lol. Maybe well get lucky things will go smooth.
