So much for the two hour maintanence window and keeping us informed. Two and half hour and counting.
Perspective on life?
Most games have daily or weekly maintenance and we’re worried about 25 minutes a couple of times a year?
ArenaNet has the most reliable server architecture in the MMO space by a long shot. I wish half the MMOs I played had anything close to GW2’s downtime reliability.
Really… I think you jest. Just because they don’t take the servers down, doesn’t mean they are the most reliable. Much of their maintenance is done live behind the scenes, ever ask yourself why their are sudden mass DC’s like what happened last night.. 12 of us DC’ed at same time then other players from other servers began whispering to check if we were having issue as wells… I would say something blipped behind the scenes and they had no choice to down the serves to sort it out… but time will maybe tell.
But I will agree the actual amount of pre-arranged maintenance in GW2 is far less than most but is that actually a good thing sometimes.. the games overall performance is nothing to brag about to be honest is it.
I don’t mind the down so much but an update would be nice …hey we’ve run into a random Cthulhu boss so servers are going to be down an extra hour …something like that
I am not shy about ripping on Anet for the way they handle things but the one thing nobody can complain about is their server up time. They are the gold standard in the industry as far as I am concerned and deserve nothing but praise. A few hours a few times a year … I think they are doing pretty kitten good.
This because the game is heavily instanced, with the account data and login separate. This allows them to shunt people to new builds with ease.
Just about the only time they take down the whole game like this is when they work on the account and login system. And the last time they did that they expanded what could go into the collections section of the bank. Something that clearly required a database change.
They heard somewhere a precursor dropped in open world loot and had to investigate why.
Lmao—-best answer ever!!!!! +1

Anyone know what the downtime is for? Is there patch notes somewhere?
Thank you,

The down-time wasn’t for patching the game it was a MAINTENANCE downtime for physical server maintenance.
