Can we change monthly patch to Mondays?

    That way all this nonsense happens on Wednesday and not on the weekend.

    I can support this idea. My schedule just changed to where I work Wed. evenings, so this would be ideal for my schedule.

    I would be against this, Wednesday is nice as many people have real life events on Wednesday nights. If they mess up the patch, its nice not being at home for the fix.

    In most IT places, Wednesday is the ideal patch day.

    How about we move the beginning of the patch to 12:00 AM PST whichever day it is on, so that the least number of players are inconvenienced by it?

    It makes me chuckle to imagine a lead IT developer in a DPG office being told by their boss to change the patch day because somebody on ForumQuest thinks it would be a good idea.

    In this case, correlation does not equal causation. But I understand why it seems that way. It's unlikely that the patch day will move.

    Almost every major crash this year has happened on a weekend.

    If you do move patch day do it Tuesday. Everyone knows monday is bad news since people are wrecked from the weekend.

    Many of us work weekends and have days during the week off so it doesn't matter when they do it - like the old saying
    “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.”

    I have a theory - The test server isn’t great place to test a patch and my guess is Thursday isn’t a great day for volume and volume is a key for testing.

    Another weekend ruined.
