Probably more like 4-6 hours – they wouldn’t release it at lunch, which is fair enough. I wouldn’t want them to skip lunch!

They can’t please everyone. Anet is based in the USA on the Pacific side. They have GMT-8. You will still be able to enjoy it tomorrow evening with probably with a few hotfixes in-between.

A delay is a delay. I prefer that if they can fix a few bugs before release.

Why do you think they’re doing this to mess with European time zones? Do you expect them to work around the clock to please everyone in every time zone?

Be patient, it will be there when you wake up, if you can’t sleep without knowing then stay up late. Either way, they’re working on things during their daytime working hours and I would much rather they get the bugs worked out before going live with the patch.

Goodness people.
It’s “on time” but buggy = complaints
They let you know hey, it’ll be this afternoon so we can work out bugs = more complaints.

Can’t you find something good to say?

I dont understand why do they give themselves impossible deadlines. Wouldnt it be better to calculate the release date with a week or more of a buffor time? Like, when you feel you need two weeks to get this job done, but you state out loud, that you need three? If you do it earlier – great, if you dont — no one would notice.

Just like I will not have time until Saturday if I can’t play this evening. Things happen… I will enjoy it during my free tim on the week-end.

Not playing it on release day will not kill you.

I know that nothing can be done, but I feel like it’s unfair to change the deadline so close to release. Last time I was pretty much unable to participate in the patch, because I was a week late, and all the mobs like Marionette and the worm were no longer attempted on my server even, so a few days might mean that you’ll miss pretty much all group content.

If that happens, you could always guest to a more active server. I agree though it’s pretty poo to announce it’s delayed on the day of release, let alone the expected hour of release. If tuesdays are so hard a deadline to meet due to only having monday to prepare after the weekend, why don’t they release on wednesday instead?

Perhaps dont do things last minute for once? I am pretty sure they had plenty of time to get it all working. then again, if i assumed they would do things far from last minute, that delay for the Edge of the Mists Release that turned from 2 hours into 9 hours wouldnt have happened, assuming that testing actually took place, which it should have since they were beta testing it with a fair amount of people. heh. Thanks for having me look forward to this patch all day long just to have that little 7 hours extra weight to be placed onto my back.

I could say the same thing about us East Coast NA players. Most of us are at work when they release the patch. So I don’t think theres a problem. They release it when they can/feel its ‘ready’.

ArenaNet finds something that can potentially break loads of stuff.
They have two choices:
1: Delay the release a few hours
2: Risk it and release it “on time”

No matter which of these choices they made people would be kittened. But lets be realistic here.
Is it not better to wait a couple of hours (or until tomorrow for us in Europe) than potentially not be able to play at all for several days due to issues?

I do imagine that they’re going trough a lot of stress right now. They probably won’t even have lunch, however if they could release it 2-3 hours from now it would help Europe greatly.

It’s only delayed a couple of hours, and I’m sure Anet are working hard to get everything ready as soon as possible. They’re usually on time with their updates, so it’s obviously something unexpected came up. I’d rather wait a little longer than to be saddled with an update that has an issue, even though their afternoon is my midnight as well.

You guys should try playing Silkroad Online for a couple of years if you think Anet is doing a bad job.

Another fail by anet way to cheat us eu players … Again …. like allways…. does every single game maker hate eu ?!

Yeah sure, because they would gladly work at 2 A.M. to deploy the game for Europeans…

Since the game is deployed both for US and EU at the same time, they choose the best time frame for that. That being during THEIR working hours ( probably 8-9 A.M. to 5 P.M. PST). Sure they might work overtime to fix big bugs, but they try to deploy during their working hours.

Look at Europe/Asia based games if you want time zones closer to yours.

My god, people feel so entitled to everything. Until they change the core of the game and split US from EU deployment, it won’t happen.

God forbid they pump out a bugged update and instead everyone runs to the forums complaining about it being bugged.

Give them a freaking chance to make sure the update is running properly, programming isn’t a walk in the park by the way…
