Can Blizzard ever finish a maitenance in time?

Diablo 3 is still under maitenance… 30 min over 2 PM PDT, after it was announced that will be done at 1 PM PDT …
Update … now will finish at “approximately 3 PM PDT” …
… new update … now is 4 PM PDT …
It seems Blizzard team have the impression we have all the time in the world to wait for them to finish the job.
This is a bad joke.

I’m going to make some placards bearing those words and will organise a protest.

Blizzard easily have at least 99.99% up-time on their servers.

I have the impression that some folks have never worked in tech and therefore fail to appreciate how expensive an SLA guaranteeing that level of up-time would cost.

An overrun of a couple of hours on a maintenance isn’t a big deal when such overruns are months apart.

By the way, I presume all this took place whilst I was fast asleep overnight>

I believe it was scheduled between ten o’clock evening to midnight (Paris/Berlin time) but it dragged on an hour more - which was also announced in the battlenet app.

Ah but you DO have all the time in the world it seems as you are still here playing the game. It would seem the only bad joke is your pointless complaint.
