thats the old stuff… there should be new ones with the update

Boxie Togg (main)… probably Tyrias only Asuran Mesmer that ultimately fails at jumping puzzles
Stinky McLane… the only Necro known to have a toothpaste fetish
Lefty (give me a second) Fiddlesticks… one Engineer, two clumbsy hands…

You’d think that as this is a halloween patch, and one that has been on twice before (with minor modifications) they would have had at least 12 months to test it prior to today – so the delay really is a bit odd.

Unless they are like my students and decided to wait until last night to build and test it

Come to think of it… aren’t we due a weekly BLTC update from our favourite Ebeneezer Charr?

Nope, those usually comes the week when we don’t have patches and I seem to recall that all the Halloween thingies was added last Tuesday.

I could swear they were every week regardless… I also fully expect them to bring back the Halloween themed outfits again (Witch, Thorn, etc.) from previous years, which would be included in a “today” update.

I don’t know if you’ve been on the game, but those outfits have been in the gem store for a week now, as well as a new halloween costume.

Holla. At. Me.

I have. The raiment I don’t really consider new per se, since it’s a GW1 rehash. (Own it there, cba to buy it again.) The other ones were put back without being announced and are allll the way at the bottom of the Style section for some reason (specifically Executioner and Bloody Prince).

I.e. they’re easily overlooked, which doesn’t seem a logical way to treat stuff you’re putting back in only temporarily.

Been this way since day one—-time and date based on Pacific Coast time.
This type of thread appears with just about every release. If the OP is a longtime player, he/she should know better, if a new player—Now You Know!!!!

The confusion is most likely because EU players used to be able to play the new patches in a reasonable time at release days (usually 17:00-21:00 CET). And regarding to the ‘If the OP is a longtime player’ part, I’d say a longtime player would expect a patch release earlier than a newcomer.

But I do agree that people shouldn’t be to upset about it. Like it was already mentioned, how about the OCX players. I accept that it is delayed, can’t expect it to run flawless all the time.

Well, I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure LA looked different around this time last year.

I agree though, still working on something on the day of your own deadline seems a bit… off.

But, ‘When it’s ready.’ works every bit as well!

The Raiment looks awesome in the GW2 engine tho:) Also I have an advert on the front page of the GW2 gem store showing the skins coming back with new minis! How strange that we’ve all got different experiences with the gem store at the moment :S

I’m sure it looks good, but it’s missing the wings… and like I said I already bought it once so I’m not going to spend money on (what I consider to be) a downgrade of the same thing.

I don’t spend enough time on the BLTC front page to see all the adverts, I tend to be gone before the first one (mini set for me) switches. I stuck around just now to see the advert and it’s there, so I guess my gem shop is just hell bent on hiding things from me?

Seems a bit silly that they’re not also mentioned in the Promotions tab though- temporary stuff like this surely is something you’d want to promote on all available platforms? Usually returning temporary stuff gets put there with a timer and everything.

im just wondering what they actually have to do?
i mean even if the have to re decorate lions arch surely that wouldn’t have taken 4 months, i mean all the rest of the content is copy pasta right?

not complaining just actually wondering

and as for the time thing im in ocianic time zone actually im nz so the beginning of time lol (love calling it that)

your right it donst make much off a difference to us (except today cause im sick at home)
but it does for eu players 1-5 hours (or more) can be the differance between playing a patch one day and not
theres more i could say but its not really going to make much off a differance to those who dont understand (most likely the na players who dont deal with this)

No but this is good! It’s 23:20, I just finished the kittening paper (I HATE ALL REPORTERS AND ALSO THE WORLD) and now I have to go to bed, because I have to be up again in a little over four hours.

If the patch had been out, I would have felt compelled to play a bit, and if I had done that I would have died, because tomorrow is of course the one Wednesday this year where I can’t just come home at 1300 and crash into my bed and die, because apparently playdates are a thing? and apparently moms now have to attend them? I don’t kittening know, but I do not approve of things that interfere with my Wednesday naptime routine -_-

TL:DR: omgsohappy the patch isn’t out yet

More than you might think. I have seen companies do some really bad code rollouts, Anets process is pretty solid, its worth the wait and I appreciate it that they don’t set a time. Means people will do as needed and not rush it just to hit a stated time.

That said, would still love to see the patch notes to pass the time while waiting.
