The degree is arbitrary. The definition’s blurred.
If I’m to choose between one evil and another, I’d rather not choose at all.
It’s almost noon here…
sucks to be in Europe right now :/

These topics happen every patch day. I don’t understand it. You guys know Anet is based in the western US, this should be nothing new.
Dont complain, compare ur situation to the ausie players, its already evening there.
I live in Europe, I don’t mind having the updates around 19.00 – 21.00 as it is now. It’s perfect for Work and school.
You can’t please everyone.
I am from Europe too and don’t see this issue at all.
Patches and updates have always been some time in the evening. Was in GW1 and so it is here in GW2. Actually kinda like it, because then if I have things to do during the day I can do so and still be back before the update hits. Only a few times it have been so late that I was better off going to sleep and see the new stuff in the morning and well… that is ok too… unless it is a one time only event with no repeats (which only happened once and was such fail that Anet wont do it again I am sure) I am not really missing anything.
I guess you are right but I travel tomorrow and have to get ready tonight. But I guess it’s not Anets fault.
Creator’s fault. He made earth round.
And orbits the sun.
Gotta love being in Australia, I love my 3am updates!
sometimes, I am very ashamed to be european… like at the moment.

With a flux capacitor of course.

Short answer, Yes.
Long answer, FB owns the rights so you can only ride after you hit lvl 26,785 in Farmville.

I heard the Mayans disagree.
Why do you need to play the update the second it comes out? If anything, be glad you DON’T get the chance to. ArenaNet will always, always release a buggy patch that takes a few days to fix.

Interviewer: “Mr. Gandhi, what is your opinion about western civilization?”
Mahatma Gandhi: “I think it would be a very good idea.”
lets all sing the song
“a net will never do patches in different time cuz of market inflation and exploits”

Yeah .. i’m from Germany and like the times. When i come home from work i can have a break, do some RL stuff .. and then mostly we got the patch. I really like it that way
It was also perfect when i played Champions Online where the servers were normally down for 3-4 hours before that patch, and at 18:00 at our time when i was home from work servers also came up again.
I’m in the UK and I love the time difference. I get to do the update at around 5.00pm usually, ideal for me, I leave it dl-ing over dinner and it’s ready for me later on when I’d be playing anyway.
Also, I keep Pacific Time and Eastern Time displayed in the bottom of my browser (I use FoxClocks in FF), very handy, not just for gw2 but loads of other things I use that are based in the US. It really needn’t be a problem in this day and age, although I’m very envious of Ozzies who live in the future lol
ANet, NERF TIMEZONES NAOW!
Oooorrr you can be in the same time zone as Anet and watch everyone else in the world play the release while you’re stuck in work XD Whee.
Basically: Every time zone has its disadvantage, I’d imagine. Unless you have no rl obligations in which case maybe find some.

Has somebody already made a thread claiming a refund because of timezone difference ?
I think this one almost qualifies:

When is it usually patch time?
i too would like to know this, i planned to go to uni all day and be back after 10-11 (patches usually take me 1-2 hour to download). So right now im sitting about at home waiting to log in so i can get my freebie trans crystals
Usually Wednesdays.
Could be any time now. Likely it’ll be later as this patch is so big, but I’d say within 5 hours.
I was wondering when someone would start one of these threads. I’m curious as well : P
About 3 more hours i guess.
Usually Wednesdays.
They said 3/15/14 – and usually 12:00 PM PST USA time.
its just cruel cos they say theres a one day reward to login and then take forever to release the patch T.T

They say a lot of things that usually fall short of expectations.

They have however NEVER missed a patch-day.
The patch will happen. Be patient! It is still only 9AM PST.
Go live? Don’t they usually do it around this time
There’s 24 hours in a day. There’s still 15hours left in the day in the timezone Anet is in.
Anytime within those 24 hours is still “on time”. Just because they don’t schedule their releases around your work and leisure time schedule or your own personal timezone doesn’t mean they are late or breaking promises.
If anything, you all are overreacting 15 hours before the deadline for the end of the day.
Don’t be surprised if it gets put back on the last minute.
It will be here when Anet feels like it is ready to be released. There was a patch a few back that got delayed several hours due to last minute issues. People started freaking out and complaining like crazy because of their personal time zone. This is a big patch so don’t freak out if it doesn’t roll out at the same time as usual patches. Maybe it will, and maybe it won’t, who knows. Keep in mind it is currently only 9:18 AM Anet time. I’m sure they want to have everyone in office ready to go to monitor issues related to the patch when it goes live.

im mor ejust miffed cos they have given me a reason to have so sit infront of the computer waiting for this update before i can go anywhere :p
They’re doing a quick WoW raid before they do the patch updates.
Well to be honest I was just trying to get an idea of the time, not to cause a panic O_o
Patch time is never exact, and probably depends on a lot of internal factors. Which is why a patch time is never given.
Expect it anytime within the next 4 hours. Up to 8 hours if there is some kind of delay (which has happened sometimes).
ha, didn’t see this post… wondering myself.

NO, they have not.
You are doing that to yourself. You know the cut-off for the free trans charges is still 15 hours away. Go do something for 10 hours and you still have 5 left to login.
Noone is making you sit there and wait except you.
