Probably an abusable gamebreaking bug they don't want us to find out about/use.

That makes 11 hours downtime maintenance this week.

Edit: Apparently the EB is dropping from normal mobs now..
Edit 2: Apperently it does not, and my sources were incorrect.

No, we just need to verify if the fixes are working. As we need to patch this live it takes a little longer. This is also an unscheduled maintenance so we just don't have as much time to prepare everything in advance.

We've also not seen any reports of the Eagle Bearer dropping from mobs, so if you can send that over to us, that'd be great!

how about they rotate it so they are not only screwing one area?

We're working from Sweden and can't rotate the timing that much. As seen on Tuesday, if we had started the maintenance a couple of hours later we would likely not have been able to actually finish the maintenance during legal working hours.

It sucks that it always affects Australia. :/

So if you start a patch but things go wrong and to fix it takes so long you run out of legal working hours you go home and leave it broken overnight?

Not likely, but to not run into the risk of having to do something illegal (and that sounds very dramatic but is the reality) we do the maintenance earlier in our day to cover for these situations.

It's illegal to work overtime?

From what I've been told there are certain hours we're legally not allowed to cover, yes. I'm not an expert in work laws here in Sweden and am just repeating what I've been told, so take it with a grain of salt.
