Lmao ANOTHER another hour

We expect downtime on Tuesday but to have extend maintenance over and over with no communication is crazy.

What an asinine remark.

Why is there “always” a decent chance? They can’t learn to accurately give time frames after 20 years?

Yes, overpromise underdeliver has been a standard operating procedure for quite a while now.

Bootlicker level.

6 to 10 hr maintenance windows every week is insane for a 20 year old game.

Eyyyyy lemme hold a slice with hot sauce

I’m waiting on my coffee to finish, so… no. Not really.

Explain how it’s asinine.

Because server upkeep isn’t just turning it on and off again. They need to do a lot of things like clearing caches without losing any of your data.

WoW is a complex game.

You know it’s likely the timer for maintenance auto-updates until someone pushes the “we’re done” button, right?

It would be stupid in 2024, year of our lord, to have someone manually judging and posting this.

No, I’d actually be happier if it said “It will be done when its done”, giving a time frame gives people expectations. It’s like making a promise you know you cant keep. This has been happening for weeks now and its just getting old. Some people like to play, gives you 0 rights to tell them to go do something else, you’re you and they’re them. Personally its my day off and I like to get stuff done today so I have time for other things through the week.

Why hasn’t the player base been compensated for all the extended and added maintenance since release of TWW?? I think its time we are compensated.

I was. Got a free day in my gift box.

I think the biggest frustration with extended maintenance comes from no communication.

Why is it being extended? As far as I can tell there is no patch, no hotfixes being implemented, so what’s the deal? If there’s no patch and no hot fixes… what are they doing?

Okay, stop. This rhetoric is beyond stupid.

I haven’t gotten anything.

I latterly will have no chance to paly this week due to the weekly 15hrs maintenance window today.

They nuked guild vaults during maintenance and didn’t even notice until people started complaining then a month later said ‘nothing we can do, good luck’

Does this look like a classroom where I give you information you can look up? Take the onus upon yourself for furthering your own education. Thanks.

Homie really just said “They need to do a lot of things like clearing caches” lmao.

Brother, what is wrong with them going “Maintenance will occur on Tuesday, we do not have an exact downtime estimate, but likely through the evening. We apologize in advance”?

That alone would remedy a large amount of frustration for players. Under promising and over delivering is the tried and true way of making customers happy and feel respected.

I don’t recall excusing this.

If anything this should be evidence that it’s a complex ecosystem, and we don’t want that garbage happening again, so let them take their day of maintenance.

Yeah, I’m not gonna continue to engage with a sockpuppeting classic alt.

I was a GM/RL from Vanilla thru MoP and we NEVER had these many prolonged maintenances. At best, a huge patch, raid would take this long BUT never, every other week. Again, Blizzard died the day they were sold to Activision!

It’s not their fault, they’ve only been doing this for 20 years and have billions of dollars.

Cut them some slack.

“Sup I got my entire argument countered within 2 posts, and now instead of admitting I was wrong or defending my statements, I will call in to question the character being used to call me out. HA GOT EM!”

“I’m a winner, I said so, so it’s true.”

Post on main, I bet I know you.
