Why does it take 3 hours for the maintenance of your server???? What do you do for 3 hours ??? with battlefield it take about 15 minutes max and they have a lot of server....
What do you do for 3 hours??? sweep the server of all the dust??? I don't understand tell us what do you do for 3 hours????
Sorry, you remind me of that kid...
Who cares? They take the servers offline, tell you it will take around 3 hours. 3 hours later (or sooner) the servers are back up. Where is the problem?
As they said, they also implementing things they dont have announced yet OR they wont even talk about (anti-cheat e.g.) and those things might take time to install and check if they run correct.
Im not happy about the state of the game at the moment, but the 3 hours maintenance doesnt bother me at all. They tell you 3 hours and most of the time they are correct with it. And even if they would tell you 5 hours and drink coffee in that time, who cares? Game is back and running at the announced time.
Rebooting and performing maintanance/housekeeping on a server is a job which is not to be taken lightly. After the server reboot they will need to bring up the services and then the software and then verify that it is working correctly. They are probably doing this across multiple clusters. Also they could be doing things that are not being discussed such as adding anti cheat systems for all we know (I can dream can't I?). Just go take a shower and enjoy some fresh air for a bit.
So your basis of complaint is EA servers? The same EA who are notorious for having the worst servers in gaming. Not to mention that EA actually took down the FUT servers for FIFA 16 server maintenance the other day for over 8 hours. The end result was the same experience we had pre maintenance. Every game lags, still get random disconnects. Transfer Market still hangs or returns errors.Originally Posted by DarkstarQc Go to original post
It takes time to carry out proper maintenance on servers.
