It seems like this update has come with atleast 5 different restarts. had 3 last week and 2 this week so far. can someone explain why all this downtime is needed? seems like even with past major updates this seems a bit excessive.

Do you really need an explanation? This is par for the course with a major patch

As you see from the manual Blizzard is allowed after each major patch the following :
- bonus roll - reroll servers up to 3 times
- bonus bug - break up to 3 abilities

first off, saying this is a major patch is taking it a bit far. i mean really come on.
second, whats wrong with a paying customer wondering why there are so many restarts? its a perfectly normal question. especially for those that work night shift and can only play during the times of all these server resets.
stay in your lane son

Not to sound like a total shill, but I am grateful for the upkeep because they have been addressing and fixing issues that affect my gameplay. It’s a little inconvenient but the pay off has been worth it.
The two notable things that were bothering me before they were fixed, was the Deepstar Aurelid mount speed bug, and the fact that I could not transfer characters to RP servers for a brief period of time. Both problems fixed.

It’s a patch with a huge new zone and a new raid. Try not to look like a moron in pursuit of being “so edgy” about 9.2
Nothing, except that anyone with base level common sense would know that you have to restart to apply updates, which any new patch will need a few of to fix bugs.

Well, I’m hoping this one removes Odins horn from my back. Damn thing has been there almost two weeks and I can’t remove it!!! 
There was a notification. They said Thursday they would be doing a restart. It was yesterday on the launcher.

except, there have been MANY restarts. i understand fixing things as they come, but it seems like more then normal.
and there it is. It seems like more, because it’s happening now.
new zone. new raid… what? 8 months to work on that? lol
hardly a “huge” patch.

Dont like it leave, but it is a major patch either way.
i just think people simping for blizz saying its a “huge” patch with a bunch of new content are a little blind. shrug
hopefully they are working on 10.0 to make this game good again

You are talking about the fun factor of a patch (for you), but that is not what is meant by “major patch”. It’s the amount of data/moving parts.

Yep took 8 months and there are a ton of new content. Considering the amount of work it takes to develop a game I’d day this is a huge patch.
For someone that has hardly done any of the content that’s a bit rich. “Such a small patch and it’s not good enough for me” while having done almost none of the content.

Well, my prediction of a 15 minute server down time was off.
