Would you rather have to option to complain now or later?

Wait time or bugs? Your call, sarge.

Seriously though, they're really dropping the ball lately.

People wouldn't complain as much if they were making more accurate time expectancies for maintinences. I understand that shit happens, but 4 hours is a LONG time to extend a maintenance, which means something really serious came up, or sega is just terrible at time estimates.

How do you fuck up new scratch, a couple new items, and 10 new XQ floors?

How? Sega makes the impossible possible.

It was a large update. Probably discovered more bugs with the recent patch seeing as they're slowly unlocking that content bit by bit.

A story quest on top of the rest of the stuff that's still not really substantial unless I'm seriously missing something here.

Unless they fixed a bug (feels like one) where rare enemy discs have piss awful drop rates at the moment.

I can understand that kind of stuff but like I said, 4 hours is a long time, they might as well just add 4 hours to all their maintenances like Nexon did so it'll feel like it ends early instead of having everyone waiting until that moment when the servers are back up and disappointing them.

EDIT: For the record I'm not blaming sega for how long the maintinence is. I'd just prefer a longer maintinence time estimate with a chance for them to finish "early" than extensions on a normal length maintinence. It feels bad to be waiting for something then find out near the end you have to wait more. It feels GOOD to wait for something and then have it come early.

Content update. That measly 15MB is to unlock that content that we already downloaded.

As I've said in my last post, they probably ran into a few bugs in that 5GB of content or they screwed up something server side. Take your pick.

Time for bed. Hopefully the compensation is decent, not that I hate the usual compensations that are given out.

Oh who am I kidding. I love Triboosts as much as the next guy, but Sega needs to up the ante. Throw in some EX Cubes too, and maybe some RDR boosts as well!

I take back what I said. I forgot they give us free stuff whenever this happens. They don't need to change their estimates. o wo

Funnyjunk doesn't let you hotlink their images. Though I guess that's a better way to get the point across than those sites that replace hotlinked images with shock site pictures and dead kittens...

This just seems like a really ridiculous piece of content to extend for. I realize they may not be able to verify all of EP2's content as completely clean but the stuff they're unlocking is trivial sans the story quest.

Hey, again as long as the bullshit with discs barely dropping off rare enemies gets fixed, I'm totally fine with this extended maint. I'm just sick of doing 10 runs to find 1 rare boss that drops 0 discs (or worse, a ring of meseta which has happened way too often recently).

That's why I was saying they might as well just add a few hours to the normal times. o wo

But no, I prefer compensation.

Whichever works I suppose. Not like I play much anymore, soloing everything gets boring fast.

Yeah, they did that with PSU, and it was always up "early". Granted, I'm sure it takes more work to maintain and update this game, but I don't see why they won't just add more time to the maintenance instead of the way they're doing it now.

Is there a new katana weapon camo in this update?

I thought this was a 'NOT!" post... but.... oh well.

@tetsuo A sword surfboard camo, and a rod camo I think. I don't neccessarily mind the extentions to the maintenance, the emergency maintenance on a rare boost day is what is really dissapointing.

Nexon has actually been really prompt about their updates lately. Sega is arguably doing worse than them right now, though I have no idea how good Sega's user support is...

Since most of us live outside of Japan I doubt we get any sort of user support.

Nexon has piss poor customer support, and really did used to be bad when it comes to managing their games, so it kinda shines a bad light on anything they do regardless of how minor.

Yeah, I got hacked on DFO and it took them over a year to respond to my ticket. I didn't even get my equipment restored; they just gave me a flat compensation of 100,000 NX, which wasn't anywhere near what I had spent on the game at that point. Since they left DFO to rot for months and closed it afterwards, I never want to deal with them again. I wonder how Sega handles stuff like that, especially since they seem to take the game's condition seriously by banning bots and whatnot.

It feels bad to be waiting for something then find out near the end you have to wait more. It feels GOOD to wait for something and then have it come early.

Well if you always expect it to end early, that means for the entire time during the "extended" part, you're actively waiting for the servers to come up (on forums, refreshing a server ping, launched the game already, etc).

If you show up right at the designated time when the server is scheduled to come back up, but you find out the game has already been up for three hours... is that a good feeling? Depends on the person, of course, since you can either consider it a good thing that you can play when you decided to, but you could also regret not paying enough attention to when it "really" came up. Like "damnit, I could have been playing already!"

Though that also happens with the "unexpected" extensions. You either go "Oh, it's not up yet? Ok, I'll check back in a couple hours" or "DAMNIT I WANT TO PLAY NOW"

They could always do it like Riot: just give no ETA but report current status, it's done when it's done.

That's probably it. Like that Sakura Endo bug that allows you to fly.

I had thought about how long it would be for the servers to be down, which turned out to be between 11am-9pm(jst) (10pm-8am est)... That is 10 whole hours! Guess these things happen though, and hopefully within time, they will actually have a release date that does not get pushed back this time over on this side of the world.

Because the maint will be extended by three more weeks when the server complex explodes into plastic scrap and flames because of the Decepticon/Darker alliance.
