Guild Wars 2

….is there any reason in particular you guys push these out at peak times, mainly server reset? I think I speak for a most people here who get annoyed when you get the dreaded message

“A new build will be available in 10 minutes”

“You game will restart in x minutes”
“You game will restart in x minutes”
“You game will restart in x minutes”
oh I was afk for 30 min now I guess I’m stuck on an empty map.
“You game will restart in x minutes”

Most of the time this happens when people are waiting for the Tequatl reset and most times you have to get there between 30-45min for a decent map. If you miss the first message in chat you come back to an empty map. It will screw your whole W/E run up for the night since you will be behind the main maps. It would be nice if these seemingly daily updates were pushed out during off hours like in most MMOs. Not sure what the deal is here.

If anything at least explain why this is the way it is so we understand.

-Thanks

Because it goes live when its ready.

You can do a Google search for the Dev post(s) that answered your question previously, if you so desire.

Might have been in one of the AMAs or here on the forums or Reddit, I don’t really remember.

Good luck.

There is not a time when someone will not be inconvenienced. If the patches are happening at reset, well… that’s 5:00 PM PDT in Seattle.

And 10 am next day in Eastern Australia. You live in a big world OP. Learn to embrace it.

Something to do with they still need to be in work in case the patch they released causes something even worse to happen than before, I assume.

It’s usually around 00:30 UK time.
