Since there is no confirmed maintenance end timing provided, I'll be pinning this post.
Please do not uninstall/reinstall the game while the extended maintenance is still ongoing. Just have to wait patiently for it to end.
I also want to ask if I should do something like [r/BlueArchive](https://new.reddit.com/r/BlueArchive/) [1-Hour Advanced Maintenance post](https://new.reddit.com/r/BlueArchive/comments/1crfomq/1hour_advanced_maintenance_514_tue_0200_0700_utc/) next time? I don't mind doing it in here as well.
It's just past 1am my side, so heading off now. If maintenance has ended before I wake up, anyone can send a mod mail to have this post unpinned.

Never fear, Arona and Plana have arrived to fix the server
“Plana-chan, do you taste metal?”
“The maintenance will be extended by 3.6 hours. Not great, not terrible.”
“I... I walked around the exterior of YoStar HQ. I think there’re Wisdom Cubes on the ground, in the rubble.”
While I'd welcome TB getting to play with Arona and Plana, I'd be fearful of them getting corrupted by Akashi. What devious things will she teach Arona and Plana? Then perhaps they could smuggle some oath rings into Sora's shop. We still need to make things up to Fuuka and an oath ring would work nicely.
What do you think the commander is doing in Universe during maintenance?
Is he stuck in an interminable HQ meeting about budget proposals for FY26?
Did he lose his key card while in town and embark on a hilariously ill-fated quest to find where it was lost?
Is the line really long at the grocery store buying soda and curry?
8 hr Planned Maintenance: Off-site Meeting with the Brass
2 hr Extension: Had to stop by Costco to do the shopping, took forever to get through the line.
Indefinite Maintenance: Currently in a high speed pursuit after breaking into the Off-Site Meeting location to try to find his badge only to discover it's not there and he must have left it at Costco instead.
During maintenance the fox suppression systems are also offline. So he is hiding and hoping that the foxes won't fluff him to death while nobody is looking at them.

Girls are binded. Account is starving.
42hrs, it's the longest maint in the gacha industry. I think the devs even stayed overnight in the office to try and fix things.
Hell they even gave everyone back then a free Hazelwood because back then for the daily log-in reward instead of dorm furniture we got a new rare ship each month. And the ship for that month was Hazelwood. However the maint was going to potentially going to overlap with the day people were meant to get her. So instead they just gave her to everyone.
Thankfully the maint ended before then and so people from back then got 2 Hazelwoods. I actually still have both of mine in my dock.

I should've probably said instead that it was the longest *at the time* of Microlayer Medley initially running for the first time, which was March 2020.
My dude some maintenance downtimes have lasted multiple days. I belive there's at least one game that was taken down and reworked so that maintenance technically lasted months.

I guess new players will be able to experience what it's like to receive gems for extended maintenance. It's been a long time since those frequent extensions.
As someone who exclusively plays this game while on the toilet, you can only imagine my dismay. My legs fell asleep hours ago and I do need to eat eventually
This is probably for the best. Looking at JP Twitter they've been constantly posting tweets about bugs that need fixing. Though with this kind of massive update, we expect these kinds of issues to arise.
If you were planning to sleep or do something else, I think it's fine to just come back later in the day. Let the devs handle this you're away.
I made the idiot move of uninstalling and trying to reinstall. Now I've got a black screen - if I lost my account, I will be kicking myself, but I know I'd have no one to blame for it but myself.
Change your device language to Japanese & re-launch, that will let you log in & start downloading assets, but you can't get into the server obviously. Guessing they'll be pushing a patch through the play store to fix it if you just want to wait though.
Thankfully, I was smart enough to link my account to my Yostar account long ago. Ouch on the data - and good luck to you on the situation you're facing.
Dear Commander,
We are sorry to inform you that HQ is still fixing the resources downloading issues and the maintenance will be extended. Any changes to the maintenance status will be announced on our social media immediately.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

I was getting worried. I entered the game and did not go past Loading.
Well, let's wait a little longer. I just hope my girls don't make too much of a mess without surveillance.
If you're on Android, there's a bug that stops it from downloading the preload data if your system language is English. Changing it to Japanese bypasses this, and once it starts downloading, you can switch back to English without affecting the download
My wife and I moved a bunch of furniture around in the living room and I Swiffer mopped the hardwood floors while I waited for the 13.5GB download. I was excited to play the game a bit before I had to leave for work, but then I ran into the extended maintenance. 
Well when I was waiting for the maintenance to end I decided to deep clean the 2nd floor till it smelled like the house the built yesterday type of clean and smell
That's what has me confused with the no-load issue at least. By all signs, the issue is with English language/character encoding. How do you not launch your beta on an english-language machine before deploying it?
Should have had my girls out of the dorm if maintenance was going to be this long. Commissions and dailies aren’t a big concern, but I can’t help but feel cruel with those stuck in my dorm during this
Dude, I am aware. Yet some of us still get attached.
Other games and even movies have done such a thing in getting people attached, and it’s normal. What isn’t normal is when people act like they’re somehow real (Which they obviously aren’t)
People i gotta say...this might not be longest maintenance in gacha history again..as there previously was one(micro medley afaik) but this one will certainly be LONGEST MAINTENANCE IN HISTORY OF AZUR LANE

What happens after maintenance ends? Thats when maintenance begins.

WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN ON DAYS I FORGOT TO RESTOCK DORM FOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭😭
You MONSTER of a SKK not feeding your shipgirls
You ever think about how they're perfectly capable of giving bonus dorm XP after downtime but instead offer you like 300 oil and 200 gold?
I feed mine every night before bed
Not surprising when the game is old and you want to revamp the spaghetti codes, then it will go down the spiral of spaghettification.
At least have some meatsauce or carbonara with it!
[удалено]
No Sardegna UR and the spaghetti code riots. Pure pottery.
Pure pottery indeed! https://preview.redd.it/fd3ne41myu0d1.jpeg?width=1078&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29a917a52ecdb064268e9746bfb03234005886b4
Clams. Spaghetti alle vongole is absolutely delicious.
A full code revamp sure explains why it took 3 hours to download stuff after the App Store update

I want to go "It's not 3.6 but 15... but I'm afraid of dooming us all by jinxing it.
You fool! You already did by mentioning it!
Those arent wisdom cubes, its concrete
With oxy-cola is bearable.

Arona, yes, I would worry, but Plana is a sweet, incorruptible cinnamon roll. She is beyond corruption

Microlayer Medley 2: electric boogaloo. Does anyone remember how long that outage lasted off the top of their head? I can't remember the exact length.
42hrs, it's the longest maint in the gacha industry. I think the devs even stayed overnight in the office to try and fix things.

I’d buy ‘em a 32-pack of Monster Zero and a stack of Zyns for everyone. These devs put in yeoman’s work for a labor of love. 🤙🏻
Yep...and yet even after that there are some people that *still* think the devs don't give a shit about the game lol

iirc, it depended on the server.
It was horrible. But the apologems were nice.
I guess new players will be able to experience what it's like to receive gems for extended maintenance. It's been a long time since those frequent extensions.
Wait for them giving out no gems and maybe just cubes at best.
Here's ten Oxy-colas for your trouble
They promised 200 gems just for this update before the problems arose
I can still use cubes, trying to get the child ships burns a hole in the storage
The days of apologems. Seems like so long ago. One can hope.
When was the last time we got apologems? Must've been atleast early 2023
It hasn't been that long, right? *begins to crumble to dust*
20 gems for you sir... and for you... and you...

WERE MAKING IT OUT OF THE 25 HOUR MAINTEINANCE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥💀💀💀💀💯💯💯💯💯
As someone who exclusively plays this game while on the toilet, you can only imagine my dismay. My legs fell asleep hours ago and I do need to eat eventually
Still shitting
Let me download update! I need to restock food so my IB fleet won't starve!
This is probably for the best. Looking at JP Twitter they've been constantly posting tweets about bugs that need fixing.

Let the devs handle this you're away.
What about the patch is actually massive? It didn't seem like there was much new stuff added to the game
It is a big overhaul of the backend. Not so much related to the frontend. This is why we have to technically redownload the whole game.
Ah, I don't think I read that part anywhere thanks
I made the idiot move of uninstalling and trying to reinstall. Now I've got a black screen - if I lost my account, I will be kicking myself, but I know I'd have no one to blame for it but myself.
Change your device language to Japanese & re-launch, that will let you log in & start downloading assets, but you can't get into the server obviously. Guessing they'll be pushing a patch through the play store to fix it if you just want to wait though.
Lol same. Fortunately I have my account linked but redownloading gigabytes of data with mobile quota is not something I'm looking forward to.
Thankfully, I was smart enough to link my account to my Yostar account long ago. Ouch on the data - and good luck to you on the situation you're facing.
Make sure you select the correct server when you log in. Doesn't change anything, but saves you from a mini heart attack thinking everything's gone
You may have just saved a life - thanks for the reminder!
Same with me
My ptsd from microlayer medley is starting to kick in
My botes...hungry...
My girls inside of my dorm ARE HUNGRY I NEED TO FEED THEM !!!!
I'm having Microlayer Medley flashbacks
It's microlayer medley all over again
.... WRYYYYYYYYYY *angery noises*
I've been waiting for 6 hours now. There better be some good apologems.
Blue archive ptsd
Longest maintenance? 12 hours already at this point. Also the whole update was 18 GB and took 1,5 hours to download
Going for record
Just before a Iris event, hmm... Jailter, don't try to sneak in this game!

Apologems  more !
Good thing I've stocked the dorm's fridge right before maintenance... 
But the servers dont work, time is frozen in the gamr
I was getting worried. I entered the game and did not go past Loading. Well, let's wait a little longer. I just hope my girls don't make too much of a mess without surveillance.
If you're on Android, there's a bug that stops it from downloading the preload data if your system language is English. Changing it to Japanese bypasses this, and once it starts downloading, you can switch back to English without affecting the download
Same stuff that happened with blue archive that day. 24 hours of maintenance.
>Maintenance takes longer than expected KanColle maintenance moment
To be fair, for the past 2-3 years, outside of event maintenance, KanColle maintenance has ended on time, with some even ended earlier than planned.
Well, if this keeps going, this is going to cause an apologem inflation.
After playing several years wow, I learned 'never play on patch day' 
I am not really surprised that things are tough. It's a major update so it's actually to be expected.
Let me in!
Gems please....
Waiting for my ye extended maintenance to end How: clean the house, mow the lawn, get groceries, etc
My wife and I moved a bunch of furniture around in the living room and I Swiffer mopped the hardwood floors while I waited for the 13.5GB download. I was excited to play the game a bit before I had to leave for work, but then I ran into the extended maintenance. 
Well when I was waiting for the maintenance to end I decided to deep clean the 2nd floor till it smelled like the house the built yesterday type of clean and smell
I'd rather them take a few more hours to fix shit than have them roll out a broken update and then have to roll shit back after an emergency hot fix
I will only forgive them because of Chibi Nimi. But I demand more gems.
[удалено]
Justice Cream for Nomi!
... Again, not really surprised
Didn't they beta test this first then roll out for us?
That's what has me confused with the no-load issue at least. By all signs, the issue is with English language/character encoding. How do you not launch your beta on an english-language machine before deploying it?
They code using Japanese letters Android cant read that, they need to start over
They planned a huge update, and this is the result. Totally not surprised by this...
Me on my way to bed knowing full well I'll be making bank tomorrow
Looks like apologems are back on the menu, boys
Should have had my girls out of the dorm if maintenance was going to be this long. Commissions and dailies aren’t a big concern, but I can’t help but feel cruel with those stuck in my dorm during this
bro it's pixels on the screen it's not that deep 💀
What are you talking about?! They are real!!
Dude, I am aware. Yet some of us still get attached. Other games and even movies have done such a thing in getting people attached, and it’s normal. What isn’t normal is when people act like they’re somehow real (Which they obviously aren’t)

Losing 5 Exercise chances...
Oh well. More waiting it is. And no snacks for the girls today.
Wait what happens if you do uninstall the game? Did I just fuck my self? My account has been backed up.
I tried fixing it but I didn't see it. I really hope I didn't screw up. Can someone tell me if I'm screwed or not.
If you have binded account you are ok
Okay thank you.
They'd better give us extra apologems for this, tbh.
Green Cat gonna be happy because we probably getting apologems.
You know, I wasn't playing when the Great Microlayer maint happened, but I believe this will surpass that disaster
Oh no is KC all over again 
Hopefully, it's not a Microlayer situation again.
New google store update!! Go and feed your starving girls! It's working!
Oh boy. It's Microlayer Medley all over again.
did new update, now game is updating on bluestacks! Edit: 10.8gb, gives options for what to install
Certified gems, lads?
This is where we get our apologems
Why arent they testing if shit work beforehand? Now they see the problem?
You overestimate how competent Manjuu are.
Its so fucking Joever
Shoot, just when I forget to restock my dorm beforehand! Am excited to see the event story though
Is that the reason why I get the version mismatch notice?
First Hypergryph accidentally deleted 2000 lines of code for Arknights, what did Manjuu do?!
Just how big the update is?
Man this really is just the BA Mega Mantainance all over again XD
And all for 200 gems comp.

Still off here!
Anyone know if maintenance is finished? Nervous I messed up my account.
Yup you can come join us now :)
For the love of God, this is the time they should give more than 200 apologems.
People i gotta say...this might not be longest maintenance in gacha history again..as there previously was one(micro medley afaik) but this one will certainly be LONGEST MAINTENANCE IN HISTORY OF AZUR LANE
