Honestly, why doesn't the team just give an initial estimate three times as long as they think they're going to need.
This way, they get to boast about finishing 15 minutes early, instead of repeatedly embarrassing themselves by being extremely late.
If you're unskilled at estimating how long these things take, and nobody has any doubts that the team is unskilled at this, it's a lot better for everyone involved to just assume it will take a very long time from the outset. This way, on the cases when things are finished earlier than that very long estimate, people are pleasantly surprised... instead of being bitterly disappointed because they've watched a deadline repeatedly extended over the course of several hours.

isn't it a good idea to move downtimes on USA day-time ?
Its pushing noon on the east coast now. As to why it happens on EU day-time, it affects the least number of players.
WRONG!
It happens when it happens because Iceland (where CCP are) and London (where the servers are) operate within this timezone. You need people in the office to get the job done, and expecting them to pull night shifts every time patch day rolls around is silly. If the server guys need to call in tech support, it needs to be during business hours HERE, not in the USA.
It has always been like this, and always will be like this. No amount of tears will change it.

It couldn't be that DT falls at the start of the Iceland workday could it? That wouldn't make any sense now would it?
If you were to move it to the US day-time that would be EU prime-time, as that's a brilliant solution...oh wait I think thats what happens to the Aussies...no perfect solution tbh.
i have a perfect solution.
NO DOWNTIME \o/
...oh wait...

Patches and downloads are always in the pipeine, non surprisingly more so in Eve, but why is it always the EU time zones that get to loose valuable skill point time (if the queue is reset) ? why cant our friends across the pond take over sometime im sure they would oblige ! Alternating Down time between Zones would be fare to ALL Paying Eve players around all the time zones.
Its ok to say they are giving us 1.4 but as a newish player (meaning less than a year old) i still pay real cash to maintain an account and today i have lost hours of gametime that i will not get back. lets hope concerns in this forum are actually addressed in the near future.

Dear CCP,
it would be great to get a statement if we could download that patch, because some of us doesnŠt have a 10 or 100 MBit connection.
Furthermore I am far from whining, but since I am playing EvE mostly the downtimes are extended, so why you not saying 18:00 UTC from the beginning, every business-man should calculate with a buffer. So its somewhat more planable for those who are working and have a small amount of freetime :-)

i think everyone needs a day in ccp's shoes tbh. We ***** and whine and moan about this awful game and how bad the lag is etc etc etc, and yet we still play it. We are still here monitoring the update thread to see when the server will be back up. I say mad props to ccp for putting together a game we are still paying to play even through all the obstacles..... ccp, i salute you. ;-)

"We" whine and moan about this game because we actually care about it, and everyone has it's own personal way to show it :P

Why the EU timezone... well... where is Iceland?
I don't think you or I or anyone else is going to say to the CCP dev team "hey, why don't you sleep during the day and work through the night instead?"
Shows how ridiculous your statement actually is.

CCP could recycle the posts from any update thread that's ever existed and come up with basically identical witty observations and skill-training whines.
Posters, I implore you to be a bit creative before you hit "Post Reply".
