Why is maintenance 2 hours ?

To me it's to much time plus they never fix anything that's wrong with the game so why 2 hrs? It should be less time come on guys .

Ya it would be different if things got fixed, but we just get more bugs. I don't understand what they do during maintenance

Maybe lots to clear. Same as in forum too.

It takes time to find ways to get more money. "Money, money, money, mooneeyy!"

There is never really a great time to do maintenance, but having it during an active AQ and during "prime time" for much of the US really is a poor choice.

IMO, it should never be during active AQ or during such a prominent time of day. Almost better off doing it 2-3 hours before the AQ series starts (7-8am Eastern every 8th day)

Wait you still don't know? They close the servers
then having a party for 1 hour and a 57 minutes

And then they spend 3 minutes on appyling the update they already did before

I don’t know too many MMOs (if any really) that even shuts down on a weekly basis. Most of the ones I’ve played only take the servers down if there’s an update/expansion to add, patches, or emergency maintenance. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

Is it weird that "Money, money, money, mooneeyy!" line reminds me of Shane McMahon theme song?

AQ is on a shifting schedule. That wouldn't be possible. Either way it happens the same time, and is announced in advance. If they don't do it, no one plays in general. They can't alter it based on what's going on in the game. The game is open 24/7, with all Time Zones.

That's why I said do it every 8th day. AQ runs for 5 days, then 3 days off. I understand it's not the same day every week, but rather every 8th day. Yes, that would mean they have to do something on a weekend besides spend all the money they're earning.

I know the game runs 24/7, I'm not in the US and play in an international alliance, which is why I say there really is no such thing as a great time to do it. When it shuts down on a Tuesday evening for US players, it's actually mid-afternoon here in the Pacific and early morning in Europe. As it currently sits, the only area that has minimal effect on is the US east coast and Europe. Half of the US is still awake, as is the worlds largest population (Asia).

However, Kabam knows where the majority of players reside and know when they have demand surges. Why shut it down during prime-time for half of their major US player base?
