I’m just baffled why ANet has to wait until peak time when the servers are packed full of players to do their updates. Can’t you do this during off hours when you’re not kicking hundreds of thousands of people out of dungeons and events?

It’s like a restaurant waiting until dinner time to close so they can clean the kitchen. These updates right in the middle of peak times are getting ridiculous. Plan your update windows a little more intelligently please!

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand Binary, and those who don’t.

No. It isn’t like a restaurant. This is a game. This isn’t real life.

Seriously this. Drangonbrand server was just beginning the Shatterer event at 5pm PST and the server goes restarts and the timer is reset. Honest to god how stupid do you have to be to plan restarts at this time. Only reasonable excuse would be if it was patching critical bugs. Otherwise, Anet needs to get with the program.

If you care to read the update notes you will see that the new build did indeed patch bugs in the new Southsun content and fix an exploit. IMO, this is a perfectly good reason to push out an update despite it being “peak time” in your timezone.

It is the middle of the night in Europe, people are sleeping, and it is not “peak time” there. Guild Wars 2 is a global game. There will always be someone inconvenienced due to time zones.

It’s still office hours at ArenaNet, so we decided to push a game update for bug fixes we were able to push live.

Thanks for your understanding.
