Guild Wars 2

Vadrillan.9185:

Are you being deliberately obtuse? For everything they gave times for, they gave them in PST and GMT. Do you really want them to say “patch released sometime today PST and simultaneously in EU”??

What is obtuse about expecting clarity? They gave GMT times for the rest of the event, for today they just said Dec 14th, There’s a reasonable expectation therefore that everyone would get it on Dec 14th. If that wasn’t the case they should have clarified this sooner.

Nashaan.3160:

Anet is based in PST timezone, and have ALWAYS used PST for their events. Why would you think this event would be any different?

Actually they gave GMT timings for the rest of this event. They just gave no indication that today would be dictated by PST times only, which is the point I was making.

ReginaBuenaobra.6953:

The game update will arrive at sometime today, Pacific Time (which is the time zone in which our development studio is based). We do not have a specific time at which it will go live.

The first event which will occur at a specific time will happen tomorrow, December 15, per the schedule on the website.

Remember: you will have until January 3 to enjoy the content.

Meanwhile, please enjoy this picture of a hedgehog standing in front of a tiny, hedghog-sized bed, on which a plush hedgehog is sitting.

That is incredibly condescending to international players.
The original schedule did not state that today would be PST. If that however is the decision that has been made, why has it taken until 8pm GMT to inform us of this.
