Scheduled Maintenance Times
Scheduled maintenance typically occurs before the launch of a new act or a significant update. The timing of these maintenance sessions varies by region to minimize any impact on the player base. For example, in North America servers may be taken offline around 6 p.m. PST, a time when player activity tends to be relatively lower. On the other hand, European servers usually undergo maintenance starting at midnight CEST aligning with local off-peak hours.
The duration of these maintenance periods can also differ but generally lasts for about one to two hours.
- North America: 6 - 8 p.m. PST
- Europe: 12 a.m. - 2 a.m. CEST
- Brazil: 7 - 9 p.m. FDT
- Korea: 7 - 9 a.m. KST
- Latin America: 5 - 7 p.m. Peru Time
