Somehow the dates that appear in the bootstrap launcher for game news are a day early than their actually dates. For example, the “Meet the Chronomancer” news blog was released on April 30 and is displayed as such on the main Guild Wars 2 site; yet, the game client displays the date as April 29.

I realize this minor bug doesn’t effect play at all and is a petty annoyance at best.

What concerns me most about this is that the same programmer who absent-mindedly coded the dates for the news displays in the launcher is most likely also absent-mindedly coding other parts of the game and creating bugs every step of the way. Coupling this with the fact that these dates have been wrong for at least a week means that quality assurance hasn’t noticed them, other players have ignored them and developers aren’t paying attention to them. That doesn’t fill me with confidence.

This issue appears on both the Mac and PC clients.
