i'd rather a day long maintenance with probable compensation that fixes bugs introduced with the patch than one that is pushed out to meet a deadline and all the bugs are ignored until later.It comes down to a simple matter of things working differently between testing and production environments. We all saw on the stream, everything worked perfectly(if you adjust for the lack of knowledge on the part of the streamers). But then it goes out to the live server and suddenly things are going arse-over-teakettle.
i always expect patches to be extended, no matter what mmo i'm playing. it's just something that you have to expect - things happen, especially with big patches like this one.
