I am fairly certain Mea was being tongue in cheek and not serious about being late to a specific schedule..

I definitely didn’t want to start a drama. :P I just got a huge bucket of Celebrations for the update and REALLY want to eat my chocolate already! LOL. XD Unfortunately, we will have to wait more. See the official announcement on Twitter. I THINK I’M GONNA EAT THE TWIX WHILE WAITING! -squee-

ANet was closed, at least partially for the day, due to a power outage. Normally they have a prep day before a major patch. They need to do last minute checks as well as a possible tweak to recipes IF there was some TP shenanigans over the weekend.

It’s coming. But due to circumstances beyond their control there’s a delay.

Maybe because it put them that many hours behind schedule if the computers were down and they couldn’t work on the new patch?

This. It all has a knockon effect. Behind schedule on testing/prepping due to power outage.

Yeah, the tests for our main product take 20 hours to run from start to finish. A few hours power cut could delay a release by a day easily, well done to ArenaNet if it only delays them a few hours.

You guys hit the nail on the head: A power failure has a reverberating effect on things. It takes some time to power everything up after a outage, and the time lost in inaccessibility to the servers and the build can roll out to cause delays longer than the simple period of the outage. By that, I mean, if the power goes out for 10 minutes, recovery takes longer than that 10 minutes.

The team is continuing to work on this and thanks for your patience. (And your chocolate )

Under an hour left in my computer time I did get 13 flasks of linseed oil farmed, guess that’s something. At this point I am selfishly hoping the patch is delayed for, say, 5 more hours from now. That way I can go get groceries and have my Tuesday night steak dinner, then bail on my husband when I see on my tablet that the patch is live (normally on Tuesday eves we watch movies/TV shows together) … otherwise I just have to avoid forums and friends until midday tomorrow so I can get in and play it without spoilers.

I’d go have a snack now but I don’t want to leave the computer while the patch might drop with enough time for me to see how things start ><

They’ve been unable to get the coffee machines to reboot. Caffeine withdrawal has set in, and tempers are running high. Interns were sent for emergency supplies, but contact was lost over an hour ago. There’s the disturbing smell of burning plastics in the air, and rumor has it that the art team has gone feral.

And aside from it being a typical patch day, they’re still a bit behind from that power outage yesterday.

Sarcasm, delivered with a
delicate, brick-like subtlety.

What’s the forum bug that everyone seems to reference with these posts that start a new page?

It’s where the next page loads but without your post leaving a blank page. It’s easily fixed by changing the page number in the URL to the previous one although people often make another post to avoid doing that.
