SphinX Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The maintenance is done at the same time every day to update the conquest map, restart the servers and ensure everything is okay for the next 23 hours. My suggestion is not to enter a battle in the hour leading up to the scheduled downtime unless you're confident you can complete the battle in that time.

Baron Quertier Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah, I've been there. It was a face in Palm moment for me because I decided to risk it and go for a quick win, and didn't get it. My own fault in my opinion. Half hour is sufficient warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasco Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 an hour in advance is what i think makes sense. why does the warning come only 30 minutes prior. it should be as you suggested an hour. Yeah, I've been there. It was a face in Palm moment for me because I decided to risk it and go for a quick win, and didn't get it. My own fault in my opinion. Half hour is sufficient warning. i disagree. an hour is sufficient. then as they do a reminder every 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squaz Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 You won't lose durability. the battle won't be counted. It's happened to me before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it wouldn't be hard to add an extra warning at 1 hour, but the maintenance time doesn't change... And if you're already at the point of fighting and capturing frigates, you should have learned the time it goes down by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BungeeLemming Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The warning pops up as said above: 60 min 30 min 15 min 5 min 1 min in advance. Your XP will actually still be counted towards your character. ofc not a kill or assist. but the dmge you did is saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdrbobcito Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sorry Brasco...if you were in the process of Capping a Frigate, this was not your first week in the Game, right? You have had several weeks/months waning of how things work... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sorry to hear about this, Captain. However, carefully estimate the time required to finish a mission that is close to maintenance time to avoid such cases in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Ribault Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 You won't lose durability. the battle won't be counted. It's happened to me before. I have to raise a hand and disagree on that end. I got myself caught trying to finish a batle before maintenance downtime, but screwed up and couldn't finish. Both my fleet ships lost 1 in durability when I logged back on the next time. My fault for sure, but they did lose 1. They were in very good health prior to that. Unfortunately up to this scheduled maintenance time is a good time for me to play since my kids are asleep so I try to push it to close to the limit. Se la vi. Maybe the developers could actually put a countdown timer on the screen for such instances? Or a real computer clock overlaid? Just an idea.

Captain, sorry to hear about fleet durability loss, command fleet ships to retreat before you finish the battle or, like in this case, when maintenance time is about to start, otherwise they will lost durability like it happend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is only a 10min warning it is easy to disengage. Remember the game is in EA not a full polished game, we are tester and we are testing the game.

Diggled Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Any chance of moving maintenance back 1-2 hours? it a pretty early cut off for North American late nite players in Central thru Pacific time zones compared to other MMO's Edited April 9, 2016 by Diggled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
