Towards the end of our 3rd fractal, we got the message, a new build will occur in 3 hours. That was ten minutes ago. One minute ago we were all booted from the game while the patch comes in, and now I’ll have to start over the fractal run from scratch. This also means for me that It’ll take an extra day to get a time-gated ascended ring. I’m really frustrated with this and I think that a more appropriate warning for when the patch would happen should’ve been used so my time wouldn’t be wasted. Sorry to complain, but seriously?

Same here. My team and I were at the end of the ice fractal after having completed the krait and cliffside ones. We were approaching the boss, about 5-10 mins after the “3 hours to new build” message, when we were all kicked.

So now we have to restart the entire run, when we were mere minutes away from our maw.

Severely kitten ed off.

Funny, we got the message that it was one hour and it was 5 minutes. Reboot right in the middle of a long story quest, right at the end.

SAME HERE. I think we should be compensated for this lack of warning. Sure we knew the patch would come out on this day, but uaually it wou;d’ve been put in like 3 hours ago. They NEED to tell us at least a day ahead of time when exactly the patch will be implemented so we don’t end up wasting our time

Yeah this happened to my party too while we were on our 2nd fractal in fractal 30. There is probably nothing they can do to fix this for us but I really wish they would’ve been more careful >.<.

OH NOEZ ANET ARE LYERZ!!

Seriously people…minor inconvenience for a few hours. It’s build day…you don’t expect some down time? People complain about the oddest things sometimes.

Downtime I have no problem with, it’s expected. To be told you have 3 hours to finish then get kicked 10 mins later? That’s just frustrating.

This is the first time it’s happened, if people have spent a good amount of time in something only to be kicked out in the end they have the right to be annoyed.

I guess you’re new then? Every time I’m on for a patch or update it says the game will restart in 1-2 or 2-3 hours and then the reset usually happens within a half hour or less.

Or did that not happen with fractals/dungeons previously?

When you are in a dungeon or fractals and the build happens you get 3 hours to finish before the game forces you off, unlike in the open world where you have 3 minutes. That’s what we’re talking about.

Edit: it actually happened 10 mins after we got the 3 hour warning.

Ah I see…I don’t play dungeons or fractals so I wasn’t aware of that. Carry on!

Well it sucks. However, at least it’s not like other mmo’s that are down all day for patches. Then you wouldn’t have the opportunity to do anything.

Normally when a patch hits it allows people in instances (dungeons and fractals) 3 hours to complete.

Note that this does not mean the patch will come in 3 hours, it means the patch has already come but they’re giving you 3 hours on the old build to finish up what you were doing.

Usually you’re fine unless you leave the instance, but I guess in this case something went wrong.

Yea, i really want in game messages to reflect what actually happens. Off by 10 minutes; fine. But that…
