If I were to buy and play a game on a foreign country's server, playing a game native to that country, that has employees that have data available to them showing the least amount of people playing at a certain hour...
See where this is going....
I completely respect your time. Please respect the time of the 10,000+ others that aren't impacted because they picked this time.
The needs of the many, outweighs the needs of the one.
Spock knew what he was talking about.

Ironic that most replies assumed OP was from UK when the UK has disgracefully (br)exited Europe. France is one hour behind the UK time-wise but I didn't know Denmark was 2 hours behind! Europe is farther north than many realise so the earth's curvature would mean the timezones are tighter. I'll show myself out.

It screws over people in NA as well. People like myself that work midnight shift and want to play when they get home from work, or people that want to play before work or before the family gets up.
It is what it is. When things settle down and it's once every week or two it's not a big issue, but when it's almost every day it can get frustrating.

what on earth are you talking about? i dont know where to start lol.
UK and Portugual is currently +1 hour GMT due to summer time
Rest of Central/Western Europe is on +2 hours GMT due to summer time
Its only when you get into the eastern european countries (Belarus etc.) it starts getting further aheadEDIT: Timezones has nothing to do with north/south its east to west

Yes, let’s change server maintenance hours for ,01% of the market
(11% - Just saying)
The 2nd most popular Baseball game in the world. OOTP - is made by a German
It is what it is. Unless they have dedicated EU servers they are making a sensible choice. It does muck the game up over here. Means I rarely if ever play this year. I love cricket as well BTW so this and the IPL being cancelled has put a real dent in my sports this month.
I'll move on and play and watch other things. It's not the end of the world. -
So what I've gathered from this thread is that most Americans assume that the UK is all of Europe. Am I right?

No - we have not "Br" exited Europe.
We have left the EU.
The EU is not Europe.
The EU is a none democratic form of government that has oversight over about 50% of the countries in Europe.
The following nations are in Europe - but not in the EUAlbania
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Belarus
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Iceland
Monaco
Montenegro
Norway
Russia
San Marino
Serbia
Switzerland
Turkey
Ukraine
United KingdomThere are about 10 more very small nations (some city states like The Vatican) that are also in Europe but not in the EU
In total 29 nations of Europe are not in the EU.
27 are.
Maybe don't cast judgement when you clearly have not the first idea what you are talking about? -

Amazing. Another server maintenance at 4 am, which is at 1 pm where I live. I got up early so I could play before the maintenance... but of course, with 2 hours to go to the maintenance, the servers are down already.
I guess I won't get to play today againI completely understand where your frustrations lie and it sucks!
From a business stand point which is the perspective you should consider. Most employee are at home sleeping and i'm sure they don't want the servers down while paying people who are working on next years version, or the employees that monitor activity while majority are online, and i'm sure they don't want to create more work for tech support w/ tickets like " i just pulled trout opening pack and servers went down." type tickets.
I own a few games that are developed in other countries and i deal with the same issue with those games. So don't think they are doing it to upset you i think it just the way all developer companies do it for business reasons.

If by most Americans you mean literally one person in this thread, then yes. You're right.

I am in Denmark, but I am from The Netherlands. 4 a.m. PT is 1 p.m. local time. In the UK it is one hour earlier ATM not 2 hours.
So if the maintenance started already now... they started early.
My complaint wasn't about them starting early with the maintenance, it was they do maintenance every time in the middle of the here and before they do the maintenance, servers also don't workTotally off topic here, but saw you are from Netherlands. My teammate and good friend, Mark Pawelek played for the Netherlands in the last WBC. Great guy.

Not true lol

This thread is giving me diabetes. Imagaine arguing with someone looking at a clock lol. And then imagine telling someone they are wrong when you have no idea what you're talking about! What is even happening lol. They do things different in Europe.
-
It's not even just that because they cut servers at a time when you might get clean games connection wise and it come back on you get a game or maybe 2 then your matched up with people in the USA or worse and it's a lagfest.
