[u]Entire post has been RE-edited because there "is" a Notice players [b]are[/b] [i]given[/i] prior to servers coming down for maintenance as per the discussion with Yoshida (for which the clarification AND validation of them taking place I am greatful). [/u] As per community feedback it has been confirmed that Bungie [u][i]does[/i][/u] in fact send out [u]Notifications[/u] of the servers coming down for maintenance. After talking with Yoshida, the notice occurs [i]when[/i] you are "off planet" in what we can refer to as the "Orbit Menu". So there is no notice [i]in-game[/i]. So, I'm greatful for Bungies effort for those notifications. However, you'll at this point realize that if you are [i]"Not"[/i] in orbit at any point when these notifications are taking place, you are unaware that you will be disconnected during Raids, during Bounties, during any gameplay. EVEN IF the system to notify players of incoming maintenance was say "an icon in red" in a corner of the screen [u]during gameplay[/u] that was present on your screen in a corner or even below your radar, say.... the Bungie symbol with a circle around it, nobody would be unaware of the fact the system is going to be shut down for maintenance. This discussion is about a warning system in place for the playing community so progress is neither lost nor wasted due to "scheduled maintenance". Thank you. Please continue to discuss the issue. ;o)
