Edit: Topic got moved. Original title was “Tonnes of Bug fixes”
If I am not mistaken, I think that was the term used.

Can we see this list? Because all the debilitating thief bugs, in addition to randomly obstructed ranged attacks, are still there.

If you’re a thief and haven’t
pre-ordered HOT at this point,
save yourself the money and don’t bother.

Anyone have an idea? Trying to decide if its worth going to a buddies to download it or not(looks large, but file count is a useless way to guestimate).

It said patch is coming 9:00 CET november 15. I cant really find a time converter and it’s usually countdowns everywhere. So is it 40min or 1h and 40min left? Me and my friends are waiting and want to know when to be ready =)

Not sure, but I assume we’ll have to complete all the events before we’re able to acces the new map & dungeon.

Okay, time conversion not sure, google it, it’s not that hard. As for the dungeon thing. It’s attached to the event, I believe we won’t see fractals until the 17th.

strange that it’s not some maintenance now then if patch is hitting soon =) Or did we get ninjaed in last minute again? I can see they removed launch time nov 15 and 9:00 CET from the page they are marketing the patch on. 28 min left now then according to nottsgman then… will be an interesting wait :P

they don’t normally shut servers down for maintance.

You will get a message in game saying theres a new update and count down and kick you out.

You log back in and it will download the patch and launch the game.

Maybe they let us download the patch today, so everyone will have the chance to download it in time? I assume it will be bigger than halloween update.

Free Trials start today (15th), Tommorow the first phase of the event starts and Fractals opens up.

Source is the wiki, so not totally sure how accurate it is.

But as soon as yesterday it said on the page marketing the patch it would hit nov 15 at 9:00 pm CET. Why do they always ninja change things without telling us?

AFAIK they never ninja changed when the event starts, it was always the 16th that the event itself started. Free trials were always supposed to start today, most likely so that the people trying the game can get used to it before playing in the events tommorow.

This is getting annoying. I’ve been checking for an update every hour now for 6 hours. Nothing…

Is is really too much to ask to get a reliable time here? I mean the 15th is over in half of the world already.

I like that we might see the patch as soon as 1/2 and hour but I dont know why the new dungeon would be attached to the event? If it is then thats really lame

My guess is that the new dungeon is either on the Lost Shores island (or whatever) or accessible from it.

I wouldnt say its too much to “ask”, but its too much to expect that a major content patch that also introduces new systems will always go swimmingly.

Just chill people, its the event on Sunday thats the important one-time thinger.

Anet is it this hard to just post the patch notes?

Or use your twitter for something useful and tell when stuff is actually coming out, instead of leaving us guessing.

Fractals entrance is in LA. It’s already been revealed with a screenshot showing the entrance.

I would like to read path notes in launcher instead of searching for them on forum/wiki

I think they are uploading the path to servers. Or maybe something screwed up and they have to fix it.

I would just expect them to keep us updated, I don’t see why they are making the same mistakes as every other MMO, if they would just communicate with their customers pre-emptively and tell us the patch will be delayed there would be no harm, but no we are left to guess, and that’s the problem.

We did have that freakout from the ascended gear blog this week that relied mostly on speculation. Early notes will just give people another chance to freak out prematurely (not saying they can’t make bad changes).

This forum makes it very easy to perpetuate incorrect information (e.g. some of the “stealth” prof nerfs either were in for a long time or didn’t actually exist).

I don’t get it either.

There seems to be this unnatural obsession in MMO developers to never say anything unless they are 100% confident it will come through.

I mean MMOs are always about constant change. That’s what keeps them so interesting and engaging for so long.

And yet here we are, hours from what is probably a 1GB large patch….and we are left twiddling our thumbs because ANet has kitten-all to say about anything.

What kind of PR is that that doesn’t want to talk to it’s consumers?

People will freak out anyway so it would be better to let them start earlier. Sooner it will start, sooner people will get over it
