I find all the complaints about time zone to be funny, so just which time zone should they set it for so it doesn't inconvenience anyone at all? lol

I think some people need to realize it's late at night somewhere in the world always.

This old chestnut again, hey?

As previously mentioned, SOMEONE is bound to get shafted in a 24hr time zone. Mostly its the Oceanic players with test times. Now it's Europe's turn.

Its just everyone else's bad luck that the Devs are where they are, and therefore do things in their own time. Until we get "local" servers (and a big IF at that...) that can be patched at a suitable time for each time zone, then there's not much we can do.

Oh, by the way, BitMonger505, way to reinforce the stereotype. Good job.

yer welcome.

What ???

I fraggin paid my dues mate (and know alot of my company mates did too) but I see no european server anywhere

you do the math...
they need about 50 to hundred servers for one region.
+ server space and hosting.
connectivity.
maintance.
so just how many ppl have paid any cash to PGI so far???
does it even cover the cost of having the servers hosted???
funny man realy funny.
it's like going to a ferrari dealer and telling then you have some shares in Ferrari so you deserve to get a free brand new ferrari 599...
ha ha haha ha...
well that is what you all whining about this issue are doing.
if you ppl want to demand it then you pay for it.
One regions = to about 2-3mill a year and that is on the cheap.

if you want service then atleast spend $50 a month to them like lot of the MMO's out there with subscription fees.
i do just that.
i've spent about $500 to pgi since the start of the MC service.(excluding clan pack and pheonix pack)
but still if peaple were mature enough to understand that the developers have to do thing in there own time frame to get things done to provide you with a service for almost free and great game at that.
then they should keep there mouth shut and let them do what they do and support them.

Thanks for Everything Nikolai!!!

You guys did an AMAZING job on the Clan mechs, they feel sleek, powerful, and the cockpit looks so futuristic!! The weapon effects are to be lauded as well! I got to play a few games with you stomping around in your golden mech...showoff...lol.

Pretty much knew it would be an extended patch today, so no bummer there, but i did have one question. For those of us who have a ton of mechs (i think with the clan pack i will be at 74-ish ) can we possibly get a tab to keep the Clan mechs and IS separate...that would be awesome.

Keep up the great work.

This is a great idea. Post patch I will have over 100 mechs. and it is a royal pain finding things now much less with 24 new mechs to deal with.. Also why for the love of all that is holy does stripping equipment not also strip cockpit items. I hate having to spend 40 min playing hunt the hula girl and my click finger gets really tired cause it takes like 7 clicks just to get to the cockpit items for each mech.

So what was the point of UI 2.0 again?

As an Australian player, waking up to patch without any inconvenience is much appreciated...

so for Europeans we don't get the clans untill the 18th? Poor planning. More europeans play this game then most of you may believe.
Gone from 9 to 7 out of ten with this release. Better job next time i hope

true, our european life will end so bdaly because of this. Also if you are lucky you could get them at around 23:00, maybe.
It won't be such a bad thing if it would end right at the prime time servers would anyways not stand the mass of people rushing onto them.

[Mangonel Jorgensson]

i think on days when they know they are going to lose 4hr or more they should start earlier, at 6am or 8am. you really shouldn't make your players sit and wait and lose time over a rigid maintenance schedule. ESO with all it's problems at least got that right a couple of times when delivering huge content patches. they started the process earlier in the day so that folks could enjoy some time with the content...but this is PGI so yea, dont expect much.

On the east coast here, 5pm is when they should wrap it up, wish i had scheduled myself to work now instead of having the day off because now it's a wasted day.

also, if the patch is huge it could take hours to download as well. live in a rural area with slow internet so yea...

Dude just shut up, you have what 16 post total? You obviously haven't been involved with the community, telling others who are just voicing their frustration to stfu and gtfo is just as annoying and childish as you claim them to be. I'm pretty sure about all of us have forked over a decent amount of money, if they have helped fund the game they deserve to have a voice whether you like what they say or not.

So how about you go back to whatever you have been doing which is obviously not participating in trying to improve the game by communication with the devs on their game, which others like myself have been doing.

Your post are not productive, thats not to say their complaints are helping any either but at least they are not being as rude as you are.

so your whinning is productive????? guess it is to you.
i've kept my mouth shut about it and let them do what they must.
so what if i only have 16 post...lol
better then most of post whinning about this and that like a freakin kid who has constipation....lol
your doing exactly same as the example ive given.
so you have $1000 share in a motor company so you demand to get their new flag ship model for free.
lol

Seriously......a day is not going to end the world guys.
better to wait for them to do the work they need to do right and be happy with it.
i know i am.
i am getting to replay my childhood dream over again.
Thanks guys for all your hard work........

PDT 10.00 am = GMT 17.00 (5 pm) + 1 for location (Denmark) = 18.00

4 hours patch time = 22.00 for clan assault...

Have a meeting at 8 am next day... so roughly 10 hours of playing... Thats ok

But 4 PM PDT is when clans get injected, so 11 PM GMT.

Next you'll be suggesting that PGI has always done patches at 10am PST. Then you'll say they do it because that's when they'll have maximum support across the board because its normal buisness hours for them and their support staff.

Hey Niko? Can we just can this thread. It's just a bunch of people wanting to ***** about something.

[Redshift2k5]

Time zones gonna time zone.

You can't expect a company on the US west coast to get up at 5 in the morning to start the server maintenance. They're going to do it during their business hours.

It's a big planet, and there's no way to ever put it out in a way that's convenient for everybody everywhere.

[xeromynd]

God damn lot of greedy people on here.
ITS MY PATCH IN THIS FREE GAME AND I WANT IT NOOOOWWWWWWW.

Patience is a virtue. The clan invasion didn't happen in one day, you won't miss anything. Only thing you're probably going to miss is 1-2 bugs, connection issues with the high playercount as soon as the patch is live, and a f*ckton of spamming chat...shucks.

Well no the maintenance begins at around 10AM PDT and lasts for 4 hours so servers should be back at 2PM PDT.

[Mark Brandhauber]

It's a small thing to keep delivery dates, with a project months in the planning to treat such a launch as this with a standard 9-5 day is little lack luster. Also Server centres work 24/7 there are always staff present. It is too late now for any of this to be taken into account anyway. I hope for better from the next big release.
Just to be clear, I've paid money to have my content delivered on the 17th. I should feel entitled.

I agree, people Just need to learn how to wait (For at most, a day nonetheless...) headquarters is in america and these guys aren't like DICE or SOE where they have a huge staff to make the updates go near all at once. Take These developments into account folks.

[ImagineDwagons]

It is not the Invasion but a bunch of another new mechs available for real cash in this great free to play game.

[Werewolf486 ScorpS]

Maybe they should do the patches and maintenance at 12am New Zealand time (UTC+12) on Tuesdays so most of the world is happy and it only makes those people in that part of the world mad?
