    This "live" game style is quickly growing old, a thumbs up from me

    Well, they did fix the armor exploit and a lot of people felt that was impacting enough to warrant quick patching. Just like the saying goes, you can't keep everyone happy.

    Did you not know this would be an online only game when you bought it?

    You all need some time away, IMHO! It's 3 hours downtime (this last one was only 2 hours!) and if you can't find anything else to do for 3 hours, like go outside and enjoy some fresh air, go run to the store and get some snacks and treat yourself to an ice cream or something, go stalk your 'online girlfriend' (or whatever... I'm not here to judge what you do...), but Mainly it's 3 HOURS and Your World Will Not End!!

    Yeah right. Just another idiot from the US telling other people what they should do or not. It all depends where you live and because the maintenance always takes place at the same time it is always the same people that are effected the most. I am living in Europe and for us it takes place in the morning till noon. If you are living in Asia or Australia you are f*d because then it takes place later in the day, or evening. And I totally sympathize with those people because the game is unavailable when they actually have free time to play. If you are living on other side you are lucky (maybe unlucky for other reasons) because maintenance is done during the night.

    Maybe they should schedule maintenance during the night in Europe and see what the reactions are from US side when it turns out the game is not accessible during their evenings. It is true that is only lasts for 3 hours. But for working people that can be just about all the spare time they have between diner and having to got to sleep so they can get up on time the next morning.

    I agree. This is ridiculous. No more online only games for me. I'm done.

    Excellent post!! People don't understand this. There's so many negatives of online only games.

    It’s that they are slower on updates than disk games. See Monster Hunter World. They’re not online only game. It gets 10x more updates and fixes. 12x faster. What’s the point of live service game? if they cannot even fix simple glitches such as ! marks all over the place. It’s still not fixed for how long? 3 months?

    wow... just wow...

    I actually play most times between 8pm-5am CST, which means patches happen at 2:30am to 5:30am CST for me but it does not ruin the game for me. I played EverQuest back in the day (which was the God Father of MMORPG) and it was down for maintenance A LOT! Did I get upset, yes at first but then I realized I Don't Live On The Game/Server, I LIVE in Real Life! What are you going to do if Tomorrow the Company goes Broke and sells out and gets split off to several other companies and the Game is No More???

    Don't Live IN the Game... Real Life NEEDS You More Than Any Game!!

    Enjoy Life!!
