Its Tuesday. Taco Tuesday.
Any time maintenance goes passed 1100PST, it gets extended again.
My theory is: Since it is Taco Tuesday, Blizzard brings in a Taco Truck for the employees. Of course, this leads to long lines and time to walk there from their desks and back. Giving them an extra hour to do so.
Additionally, no one wants to get taco stuff on their keyboards so they cannot do any work during their two hour Taco Tuesday lunch window.
They need to hire based on qualifications, not whatever it is they hire based on now.
My theory is they do it entirely just to watch the forums lose their collective mind.
I can’t understand the times involved. The time these maintenance periods are taking is telling me hardware changes. Or they are refactoring player item databases.
A software patch is just a shutdown, load the patch, restart, check the result.
taco tuesday is a good theory but i bet its cos blizz pays for subpar tacos and then they get stomach issues and have to extend it since they are stuck on the toilet
All of these extended posts are created by blizzard themselves
See now I’m in full support of longer maintenance if this is the case.
Let them have their tacos!
oh I think you’re on to something here!
really it’s the extended bathroom breaks taco tuesday incurs that’s holding things up.
This and also to play ping pong and foozeball. Gotta keep up that team morale.
Ah yep, this is such a very goblin way of thinking.
Did they just discover tacos this expansion?
taco tuesdays were one of the conditions to the microsoft buyout.
it was in the court case, trust me.
Well in the Biden/Harris era, God only knows who they are hiring to do this maintenance.
They’re changing it from Chromie time to Anduinie Time. It’ll just be his phases throughout the games: Child, man-child, older manchild.
I am pretty sure it wasn’t to fix beast hunters.
and inevitably taco tuesday turns into taco poop day, and there’s only so many bathroom stalls, so there’s a line. so the real solution to downtime extensions is to send port-o-potties to blizzard HQ
