Would be great to get an advance notice of patches so we can prepare and make sure that all of our servers DOESN’T crash.
Very annoying sitting 01:00 trying to patch the servers when I have work tomorrow.

hmm maybe they can give you a personal phone call next time for the inconvenience.
better be at least grateful they are “trying” to fix stuff.

That would be even better, but I doubt they have the time.
I agree that it is good that they are getting things done, that doesn’t mean you have to rush things and make their own service crash every update. There are numerous examples of how the developers lets the community know that there is a patch coming a week ahead of it actually getting deployed on the servers and hanging all instances.
I’m not bitching here, I am just trying to improve how we communicate. It isn’t that hard to sort these very practical stuff out and the effects are huge.
