Yo your avatar is the dude from Stein's Gate, why don't you just invent a time machine and go back and stop Carbine from releasing it so it doesn't interfere with your raid schedule?

Subs are due on Sunday. At a guess id say they chose to release it now to try and retain some of those, especially PvP'ers.

They're aimed at when they're done.

typically why thursdays are the last day of the week chosen for a major deployment. that way have at least a full day to fix major issues without needing to pay overtime

This post right here proves that literally anything Carbine does, there will be players upset. When are people going to start giving the benefit of the doubt? That patch was a HUGE patch showing they have been working day and night to make the game better and respond to the players' concerns. This post basically brings me to the point of telling you to STFU. And if you look at my other posts, I don't get riled easily.

Meh, this thread was already pointless, as I posted, there is absolutely zero evidence to imply that Tuesdays are the "consistent" patch day, in fact only three patches have ever dropped on a Tuesday, whereas there have been 10 Friday Patch Days and 8 Thursday Patch Days. Going on "consistency" Thursday overnight/Friday morning is the consistent "patch day."

Can you point at real statistics that show that? What IMO that makes sense from a server administrator point of view (which I am btw) is that Microsoft publishes patches to their Windows OS on Tuesdays, 2 Tuesdays per month to be exact. They were the first with the term "Patch Tuesday". Still today most patches from them comes Tuesday, unless something requires a fast (out of schedule) fix. For companies that have servers like game companies, is sometimes common to perform maintenance between Tuesday and Wednesday. They will have to install Windows updates and reboot the server anyway, so they schedule the maintenance to match the MS Patch Tuesday. But of course that assumes they are using Windows servers in the first place. And if the're not?

Typically for online games there is always someone playing sometime. It stinks, but best you can do is aim for a time there should be less people and do it. Honestly downtime isn't much of an issue so far in wildstar, they've been up pretty damn consistently. I remember another MMO that was quite huge that would come down for 8+ hours every tuesday, then sometimes have crashes daily/hourly until it was fixed that weekend.

Has there ever been an MMO that accomplished this?

With all due respect, you need to extend your patch schedule and make it Monday - Friday. Two extra days just wasn't enough :)

I would think most developers are salaried.

Christ on a cracker...just stop. This is why people hate posting any info here. They are nice enough to answer the mans issue and this is what they get. No wonder people are starting to say this community is worse than LOL.
