A weekend patch is probably the most messed up, annoying, not at all enjoyable, downright ugly thing to do...for a developer that is. I've done my fair share of weekend jobs, and i didn't like them one bit.
For an entertainment company to use valuable family time, rest time, hangover cure time from friday JUST to make players weekend better...golly...that's just worthy of a raise of a hat, a sip of a drink and a mighty big thank you from the bottom of my heart.

totally agree - as a long time network engineer, i have done WAY too many weekends as that's the only change management window available and i also really appreciate them patching this on the weekend ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++

you think patching on a weekend has great potential to make the players weekend better? Have you had much experience with patch days? really?

Given the choice of drinking beer and sitting at home relaxing, or working a hell day patching software, which would you rather do?

Just because it's annoying for a them to give up there saturday to work on Eve, does NOT magically make it a good bloody idea. All that proves is that someone ****ed off the boss, and the eve-subcribers are going to sacrifice a saturday of stable game-play so that the nimwit can be punished by being made to work on a Saturday.
How you make a crap-idea into a noble sacrifice is beyond me...

Have you tried engaging in larger fights post patch? It's utter ****. It's pretty ****ty in smaller fights, too. CCP really can't win, can they Damned if they try and fix things, damned if they just delay.

now now, I checked out your employment histories and some of you have been around since at least the latter part of 2003... think back... think really hard... based on past experience, I will agree that "patch day" does eventually lead to a better gaming experience, but rarely on the day of the patch, and in some cases not even on the week of the patch ;).
Tuesday patches are great because they have the rest of the week to sort out the patch-day woes before the weekend hits.

Simple way to show CCP how upset you are. They don't bother with the forums so instead contract all your stuff to me and cancel your account. Then they'll see you are seriously upset.

The experience ALREADY sucks because of the problems that this patch is supposed to FIX. So the option is lots of suck versus less - post patch - suck. I think I'll deal with less post patch suck to get rid of the problems of the prior patch, thanks.

Stop whining. CCP deemed it critical, they are patching appropriately for the weekend and they worked hard to get it done.
They deserve praise for this effort, not anger.
And thank you CCP Tanis for working up there all by yourself. It must get lonely. If you ever need a friend, message me And CCP Explorer for working as dilligently he does to keep us updated in the far reaches of the darkest Evo-forums.

Thanks CCP for the efforts. I hope it works, I know how you will feel if it doesn't.

Aye, but they are usually right, because their 15$/month is more worthy than others'. They, after all, owns the company. They take part of all the meetings & brainstorms. They are developers and know how it should be done, hell they should work there and the problems would vanish.

Well some people are cynics it seems, ah well *pats head* good for you, hobbies help
No matter when the DT is, it'll make people unhappy, so better it be on the most likely time people are sleeping. Saturday, noon.
If it clears the lag/leaks for weekend, it's better then letting it be like that for tuesday.
Simple.

Stupid doom mongers... if it does go wrong I bet they'll be the first on here... "whine whah, told ya so, I want some money, I want free time .. .wahh, you ruined my weekend, I couldn't find anythiong else to do with my time, It's all your fault I haven't got the ability to amuse myself anymore... wahhh"
If it all goes well tho' will they come here and say they were wrong? Will they apologise, or thank CCP for fixing some issues? Bet they bloody don't.
BTW Thanks CCP, for trying, whatever the outcome. Dae.
