I remember there used to be weekly maintenances & now seems it's gone!
With so many bugs, issues happening after each new update.
I can only say.. kabam take time, do weekly maintenances & get game back in good shape for real.
These bugs & issues after each month update.. happening too much off lately & yet it seems it's getting out of control.

    Maintenance still helps in that never ending wifi symbol on screen sighting connection issue & all of sudden game crashes on it.

    Does taking the servers down for 2 hours help if they don’t have the fix for it yet though?
    And I believe another part of the transition was the larger hotfix updates they’ve been doing monthly to address things like that.

    Maintenance still helps in tiny fixes .. & helps establish strong connection to serves ! But you can see yourself what larger hotfix updates have improved so far.
    I would say 7/10 things gets fixed with each update & in return 9/10 things gets worst.
    It's a never ending cycle!
    Weekly Maintenance can help with tiny issues that happens within the server & maybe can help detect ppl using mod in the servers intselfs(who knows).

    Believe me, I’m not in anyway disagreeing with your points, and if anything I agree. I’m just sharing what was said to me when I asked the same question a few months back. You asked, I gave at least a partially accurate answer.

    I want a less buggy game like everyone else, but scheduled maintenance comes with disruptions to time sensitive stuff like arena grinds and even livestreams so it's not worth it to me at least. To give Kabam credit, we've had a lot less emergency maintenance than we used to.

    Yet here we are.. getting more bugs & issues with each update. But i guess you are now used to the stuff..
    Maintenance can take care of servers refreshments & thus can improve the connections to servers

    …

    It is a bit more complicated than that. Server maintenance windows for cloud based game systems like this is not like rebooting Windows. Resources are dynamically spun up and reset regularly irrespective of such maintenance windows. The blinking Wi-Fi symbol isn’t even indicative of a direct server connection being acquired or lost. It’s more of a polling timeout, and it’s often not working properly in any case.

    Whether a system like this needs such maintenance windows is more a case of how it was operationally designed than actual necessity. In 22 years I’ve scheduled exactly zero such downtime maintenance windows. In fact, my own infrastructure has only been unavailable in that manner three times, each time due to catastrophic power infrastructure failures.
