New maintenance time next time

Tomorrow, June 2nd, we will perform our regular servers maintenance. It will begin at 07:00* CEST and during this period the servers will be unavailable. *[10PM (Wednesday) Pacific / 1AM Eastern / 3PM AU]

Well, the usual maintenance time is 11PM pst, but of course since it's the last day of double XP which ends at midnight they decide to move the maint time earlier instead of later, so those of us in the USA get to lose 2 hours of double XP instead of just one. :mad:

Next time please move the maintenance backward instead of forward so everyone can get the full XP/TP bonus period.

I'm not sure I fully understand your compaint....

All servers get the exact same duration of event time. If, due to your time zone, you're "losing out" on time due to maintenance, that also means that you "gained" time when it started (instead of event starting at 6pm, it started at 3pm due to your time zone in US, and you potentially get more time to use it on first day then someone who started at 6pm)

EDIT: All US servers get same duration, which is cut off by 2 hours due to maintenance occuring at 10pm monday night PST, but the eu servers do get full duration as their maintenance begins after the event ends...I can sort of see why this is a problem, but 2hrs less is better then none at all.

In the USA the event is going by local times (at least according to their facebook post), so eastern and central get the full duration, but mountain loses 1 hr and pacific loses 2 hrs. But I was just quibbling when I wrote this post. lol What I was annoyed at is the main questline is broken so a new toon I'm making is stuck. There's always christmas I guess. :S

The whole 1 hour two hour thing makes no sense.

Event started at 3pm PST (on ALL US servers) and ends 10pm PST (due to maintenance, on ALL US servers). If you live in this time zone, you get 55 hours. If you live in easter time zone, starts at 6pm and ends 1am (tuesday)...still 55 hours.

"Local Server Times" is misleading....server only goes by 1 time in US, PST. The message is meant to mean "it will start at the time in your specific time zone that corresponds to 3pm PST"

Were there reports made of said bugged quest?

The only complaint that has any kind of validity would be of EU getting 2 hours more than US due to maint and event not conflicting... and 2 hours is not a lot...

*Please note that for US/AU region event will take place in local server times.

Ok. I misunderstood what was meant by local times. They appeared to make a distinction between region and local so I just took their word for it. I edited my original post. :D

Oh, yes I made a report on the broken quest.

which part of the quest line? is it the Thunderhoof part of the main quest where you help Morrok with the Centaurs?

If so you just keep dropping it and trying it again and again. I eventually got it done by doing that. I think it took about 15 times for me to get it. If it is the part in MT, with the bridge.. I don't think there is a way around that one.
