Any chance of lowered instance cooldowns immediately after maintenance on 21st?

    My guild does a lot of DZs on wednesdays and the servers being down for 24 hours means pushing that later into the week for the rest of the expansion or outright skipping the week to keep our schedule, neither are very desirable. 24 hours of reduced DZ lockouts immediately after maintenance ends would solve this problem.

    No.

    They won't say no, but the answer is no.

    Also if they gave 24 hrs of reduced lockouts, it would only impact dz's that you do during that period, not dz's that you have done earlier.

    I think he means that if maintenance goes long and they cant raid on Wednesday that means they would need to eitehr shift raids to Thursdays or wait a week without it.

    In any case, I do not believe they have ever done something like this before so your chances are slim to none

    Having lost countless DZs on mangler to server crashes, meh it sucks but it's not really important enough that they're going to do anything about it.

    There is no harm in asking. :)

    If lockouts were 6 days instead of 7 this would be a non issue. Fingers crossed Accendo can convince the team this is a good idea. :)

    You mean the maintenance that is scheduled for Wednesday and is supposed to last for 24 hours? I wouldn't plan on raiding on Wednesday at all.

    Biggest reason why you should never have raids on Wednesdays.

    Depening on what time it goes down, it could be messing with Euro guild raid times on Tuesday, which is what happened last time. I remember cancelling both Tuesday and Wednesday raids as it was due down just after our raids around our raid start time, meaning it was scheduled to come back up just after raids would have started, so we cancelled both days just in case it over ran and then the blasted servers were up early. :rolleyes:

    It is probably better to say not raid during the maintenance because of time zone and day differences.
