I do not know if its feasible, but it should be.

This is a global online game. It should be available 24 hours 7 days a week but for an hour or two sometime during the week, no more.

By making the game largely unavailable for several hours a day the game is definitely losing customers whose online time is in that time zone(s) and is less valuable for all.

Find a way to do it "live".

2 hours a day not several, plenty of other stuff you can do during rollover

Can be more than that. And regardless, its two hours more a day than any other MMO has. For a reason.

This is not the local TV station that went off the air at 2 AM in the 1960s. Its the 21st century and we the people demand round the clock entertainment.

It's never more than 2 hours.

Really not a major issue. The only things you can't do are train and add SPs.

As for a reason, I believe it's due to adding ALGs as players level up

For those who have the app there is no down time. It's only two hours but between 11 and 1 is one of the small windows of time I can play.

Downtime is dinosaur crap. Very out of date in the genre.

Lots of processing going on during downtime, including the distribution of TPs etc, so NGTH. Don't even think it can unless they put training scripts on a different server and then they'd likely have to merge it back somehow.

Least that's how I understand it.

I've never known it be more than 2 hours and it's not as if you can't log on and do other stuff

You should simply build the down-time into your schedule. For example, rather than sprinkling shitty suggestions into this forum at all hours of the day, you could INSTEAD save them all up for the down-time.
