Holy.....
All these negative replies to the maintenance is so frustrating to see... Yes, I understand that it's also frustrating to not being able to play what you have paid for.
But you guys really miss the big picture here.
All of the gameplay in this game is only possible with working servers.
In case you forget, when this maintenance is due to end, the full game will be released for the first batch of pre-orderen standard editions. This means that during the next 24 hours the playerbase will grow and grow and grow. So would you rather just have a simple 3 hour maintenance or risk servers breaking down for an unknown amount of time if they're not ready for the load?
Then you might ask, why they just didn't do all of this before the early release?
Honestly, you should allways look at early releases as a last beta test. No matter the game. No matter the developer. No matter the publisher.
These early releases give them a chance to have a smaller load on the servers, to make 100% sure that everything works as intended for a full release. And yes bugs have been discovered, and if anybody of you watched State Of The Game #112, you would know that some of these bugs are getting addressed during this maintenance.
So all of this for the sake of you and me, for the sake of our gameplay experience.
Appreciate that they even address these things, so we can all play without a major downbreak.
And to the people complaining about the time this maintenance is scheduled for - There is a meaning with everything, as earlier mentioned in my comment, the full release is starting to roll out after the maintenance, this timing gives them the time to address as much as they can.
And to those of you who is new to this game - Get used to weekly maintenance, this has been a thing for a long time, and it helps to keep the game running. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes, sometimes it takes 3 hours or longer, but that's how it is.
Peace out to everybody, see you all in the streets in approximately a 1 hour and 20 minutes
