what the ****.
Ok so we have like, officers that spawn once a day, plexes that reset after downtime, trade goods used to reset after dt, whatever other stuff also resets after downtime.
When dt ends it's 5am for me. why should other people be able to get all the officer spawns during their lunch break withing 15 minutes of eachother while the rest of us have to sleep so we can go to work?
same with all the other crap and plexes?
I don't understand the logic behind the once a day thing for officers, just make them FAR more rare, but always have a chance of spawning...
I dunno but hopefully you guys can fix this in the exploration changes or something. -----------------------------------

quit your whining blue boy. if you have a problem with it, wake up and play, other wise, shut up. They aren't gonna change downtime, it is when they are working over there.

A rather simple solution to this, would be to put them on a random timer. The timer itself would be on going like the skill training timer.
Instead of reseting the spawn after DT, the timer itself would reset - and a random time for spawning would be created. If the the random time happens to be 5 minutes after DT then those in Europe are happy - if it happens to be 14 hours after DT then those in America are happy.
Simple fix.

I've quite literally camped complexs for 5 hours hoping for a keyspawn, knowing some sap just has to log in at 5am to grab it. I don't think i've ever even seen an officer spawn enemy. Ever.

That would all be good and well if there wasn't a risk of the resident BoB dev handing them the probability matrix for their randomizer.
Better than the current system still.

Im in Brisbane Australia.
Try getting DT in EVERY SINGLE FRIGGEN MMO during your evening when you want to play. IE WoW downtime is from when I get home to 11PM every week, IE I lose one day a week of gameplay when I played it.

Edited by: Ikasu on 14/05/2007 03:22:11 Well, downtime is only an hour or so. Just wait untill dt is over and play then, or play Phantasy Star Universe. They rarely have DTs. Dt time placment is far more inconveniant at 5am then 10pm as it destroys our chances of even seeing certain enemies spawns ALL DAY. you just have to do something else for maybe an hour.

I get DT at 7-8pm every evening, now THAT sucks. But I understand that it is the best time for the devs to do server maintainence. When dt is is increased by an hour or 2, *poof* there goes my eve for that night, I'll get one hour if I am lucky after getting home from work.

Technically they have the downtime to cater to Americans, because it is when no Americans are on. That is 5 - 6 in the morning for me. Hahaha lol, they have the downtime at the time it is at so Americans get their play time.

To put it in a ranting way.

Get over yourself, seriously, me me me me me me me me wah wah wah wah wah wah wah.
Every wonder why americans are so hated? *points to OP*
The OP doesn't care when downtime is, nor is he whining about the time. So 1) learn to read. 2) learn to not make dumbass assumptions and be 3) learn how to stay on topic.
The topic is, why do certain things spawn after downtime (therefor giving everyone who is normally awake and playing during that time a major advantage). For instance an australian who decides to play after downtime will be almost assured of doing a complex and getting a key where as an American... maybe not. What would make sense would be to randomize when these things spawn so that no particular time zone is favored at all.
And are you really trying to say that a perfectly legitmate complaint and solution to it that makes life more even for everyone is why you hate Americans? LOL.
And all you self righteous Australians that say you never complain...

Ever noticed that Downtime is at 10am Icelandic time? If you're worked in systems admin, you'll know that the single most convenient time to do a signficant operation on your server is 10am - you don't have to worry about being a couple of minutes late to work before you activate the process, and you've got the whole day to fix it if something goes wrong.
If they really wanted to minimise the impact on players, downtime would happen a couple of hours earlier, at the peak playing time for Vanuatu (look at the charts, you'll see player numbers climbing for a couple of hours before DT).
(Australian, and absolutely stunned by the idea that Americans are being screwed over.) ------ Agony Unleashed is recruiting. |

Aight so I re-read, and here's what I see.
1. A very legitimate point that spawns should be a permanent-chance-based thing, not just a 'one spawn between every DT and that's chance based'
2. An incredible amount of 'CCP is anti america' (hell, read the title)
While the op has a point, he's painted it very stupidly Improve Market Competition! |

I'm sorry, but if it was a suggestion to fix a problem or a comment on a spawn problem, the title should be changed, along with anything whining about downtime. it should simply ask the question, why aren't spawns random, and not once right after the servers are reset? simple, non flaming question, but no, MR. OP has to whine about down time and CCP screwing over americans. he seems to be a whiny selfish little basshat that thinks the world revolves around him, or america, either of which are wrong. I am american and think it is people that speak like this man that gives the USA a bad name.
In this world, in business, in politics, in teaching, in history, in everything wording is everything, think before you write and speak. The world would thank many if that ever were to happen.

I agree that DT should be moved. It's on my afternoon coffeebreak time in my work when DT is so no changing skills!
And when I get home from work, DT is just over and I can log in to change skill .. nice.
