Hey Rovers! Just a heads-up, mark your calendars because the Wuthering Waves 2.2 maintenance is almost here. It's scheduled for March 27, 2025, and the servers will be down for a while. I know, I know, it's a bummer when you can't log in, but Kuro Games is giving us some sweet compensation for the wait. So, let's break down all the important details you need to know to plan your week and get those free goodies! ✨

⏰ Maintenance Start & End Times

The big shutdown begins on March 27, 2025, at 4:00 AM (UTC+8). They're saying it'll last for about seven hours. Yep, that's a solid chunk of the day, so plan your gaming sessions accordingly! The update itself is expected to go live globally around 11:00 AM (UTC+8) on the same day, assuming everything goes smoothly.

Since we're all playing from different corners of the world, here’s a quick conversion for the maintenance window in your local time. Save this table!

Time Zone Maintenance Start Maintenance End
PST March 26, 1:00 PM March 26, 8:00 PM
EST March 26, 4:00 PM March 26, 11:00 PM
CET March 26, 9:00 PM March 27, 4:00 AM
IST March 27, 1:30 AM March 27, 8:30 AM
JST/KST March 27, 5:00 AM March 27, 12:00 PM

My tip? Use the preload feature! You can download the patch files before the maintenance even starts. That way, the moment the servers are back up, you can jump straight into the action instead of waiting for a huge download.

🎁 Free Compensation Rewards

Okay, this is the best part! Kuro Games is giving us 300 Astrites and 2 Crystal Solvents as a 'sorry for the inconvenience' gift. πŸ™ To be eligible, you just need to have unlocked the in-game mail feature before the maintenance starts. Once the servers are back, log in, click that little envelope icon in the pause menu, and claim your goodies! It's a nice little boost, especially if you're saving up for the new banners.

🌊 What's New in Version 2.2?

So, what are we waiting for? The 2.2 update is bringing some exciting content:

  • Phase 1 Banner: The debut of Cantarella! I'm so ready to see her story and gameplay.

  • Rerun Alert: Camellya is also getting a rerun in the first phase. If you missed her the first time, here's your chance!

  • Phase 2 Banner: The second half of the patch will feature the return of Shorekeeper. Time to complete your roster!

  • Weapon Banners: Of course, the limited-time event banners will also feature the signature weapons for these characters. Good luck on your pulls!

πŸ’‘ My Personal Prep Checklist

Here’s what I'm doing before the servers go down:

  1. Spend all my Waveplates/Resin. Don't let it cap out!

  2. Claim any time-sensitive rewards from events or the battle pass.

  3. Enable preload in the game launcher as soon as it's available.

  4. Plan my pulls! I need to decide if I'm going for Cantarella or saving for Shorekeeper... decisions, decisions.

  5. Find something else to do for seven hours. Maybe finally watch that show everyone's talking about?

Remember, maintenance times can sometimes be extended if there are unexpected issues, but Kuro Games is usually pretty good about keeping us updated. The compensation is definitely worth the short wait. Get ready, Rovers! A new chapter in Wuthering Waves is about to begin. Let me know in the comments who you're pulling for! 🎣
