“We will be performing scheduled maintenance beginning on Wednesday, November 4th, 10:00 AM (PST) and we expect the service to be available again at approximately 3:00 PM (PST). During this time the game will be unavailable for play.”
Personally since I live on East Coast.. what I dislike is the fact they launch so late in the day that I have to do other things. Which is probably fine aka server issues… but it still annoys me. Back in the day games just launched and you were playing in the morning before work or school and then as soon as you got home.
I got news for you. It will likely be unplayable for a day or two after that as well. Servers will be crashing, lagging everywhere, hundreds of players fighting for mobs. etc.
Never a good idea to take day off on release day. I don’t know why people still do that, especially when it’s people who have been around awhile and know better. I’m sure we will get the usual “I took off work and can’t play.” “Give me a refund for my time” “20 years and they still can’t get it right” on Nov. 4th.
For the East coast it wasn’t going to be anyways. The launch time was already known to be 6pm. Most people are off work by then. Taking off work would be dumb. “I took off work to sit in front of my computer until an hour after work!”
TBH My friends and I arent playing until the following week. Gonna be ENTIRELY too many people with no mob tagging to even remotely think we gonna be actually able to play
If you’re an adult and you took a week off of work for a video game then you aren’t a pro, you’ve failed really hard. The only exception is if you make money from said game.
