Stop Client Updates at Payout

It's always payout somewhere.

Could push at the top of the hour instead of towards the end.

If you can't get to wifi to download the update there's a decent chance that issue lasts for a whole hour.

Why can’t they do it overnight?

Overnight where?

Why can't they take a page from some other games, and give an in-game warning that an update will happen in x-minutes?

Yeah, you're right, if they can't make a perfect solution may as well not even bother making any improvement at all.

True, but I'd bet money that the majority of players of this game are in the US... and they always do updates during US payout times. If they did it when the payout time was a time zone in the middle of the ocean, then there would be many fewer players it would affect, and of the ones it did affect, they would like have relatively little competition for their payout slot and therefore suffer less from it as well.

So it would be better for the majority of players, and not as detrimental to those it affected.

Please stop making these threads; it's probably (definitely) so annoying for staff on here. No matter what someone will be affected. If it's you thats affected then you just gotta attack earlier and deal with it unfortunately.

Nah, there are 3 time zones with less than 1000 humans in them

Hiya!
We try to avoid the top of the hour to avoid arena payouts and push Game Updates a little bit after the hour. While we can't please everyone, we do give notice here on the forums of when a Game Update is coming via the Game Update Status post to allow Players to plan accordingly.

Respectfully,
That post was at 5:30pm; speaking for my restart, it was at 5:50pm. I highly doubt many players are on the forums every 20 minutes, and if so, can get to wifi in that 20 minutes.
An in game message would be nice, even if it said to check the forums. I didn't get the in game message until after the client restart

While I understand how that would seem helpful, that would require a secondary client update to implement that pop up notification and another to push the actual Game Update.
