(points at Blizz) its their fault
In any other business being down for more than 0.001% of the time is a huge issue. Itâs 2020 and Blizzard still hasnât figured out how to manage five 9s on their game servers. For the money Blizzard makes it would be trivial to architecture the infrastructure to support at most a forced logoff when switching active clusters for maintenance and at best no visible difference to the end user.
Try going outside and using the hose, focus on the poop spot.

âŚall MMOs have maintenance.Your $15 isnât to access the game anytime you want to, maintenance be darned. Computers have to be shut do, defrag has to be run, maintenance routines have to be handled, especially for machines that run most of the timeâŚ

What is this outside you speak of, I go to work when its dark and I go home when its dark.
makes you wonder WHAT it is
-Do the servers just REQUIRE it weekly? for technical reasons? to clear caches and RAM and sh*t?
-Does the use of the old code require it? has wowâs code base become a creature of habit?
-Do they do it as a literal time sink? 4 hours x 1 a week x4 weeks a month =like 5-8% more hours played? timegating HCmode haha
la dee da, speculating till servers r up⌠
cry more about 12 hr shift work to me, pls.
Thatâs why other businesses use stuff like high availability clusters. Meaning, taking down one set of servers doesnât impact the users because there is another set taking over for the ones that are down at that time. Blizzard already has the prerequisites in place such as load balancing since thatâs how their current sharding works. There really is no need to have actual downtime visible to end users anymore, unless it simply because you donât want to invest in it.

Whatâs a âsunâ?

Unabomber has been arrested, btw.
This guys has been hilarious throughout the whole thread⌠Plesae keep posting. Itâs mighty fine entertainment for me for the next few hours, lol.
Effort. Maximum.
Kind of reminds me of a kid trying to jump in on every sentence the adults are saying in a conversation. Most of the time we just try to neglect them.

Lemme get that fo fo fo.
You meant 5 hoursâŚ
Looks like 6hr
Bottom line isnât based on uptime. Not like google or amazon where theyâre only making money when the service is up.
They have your money already.
