Power outages are still a major problem in the area. It’s amazing they’re able to work at all.
It’s not the weather alone. US infrastructure sucks for decades already. In Seattle they seem to have outages all the time.
You know, I love the Pacific Northwest, but what you said really struck me. I’ve lived in another state and another country on a completely different continent, but never have I lived where there are so many bloomin’ power outages! I don’t know what it is, except that the Puget Sound region gets a lot of wind and we have (thank goodness, it’s what drew me here!) a lot of trees. So a branch goes down in Puyallup (try saying that if you aren’t a PNW resident
) and a house in Renton or Issaquah (try that one, too, just for fun
) can find itself in darkness.
Anyway, I know this is off topic, but don’t worry, I’m not directly working on the patch, so my posting to mention our region’s electrical anomalies isn’t taking away from the update!
Not that ANET can control where they put the power lines, but if this is true, than why do they not put them underground. The power companies need to stop being cheap and bury the powerlines that go to homes and business.
On that note, I would rather have ANET get it right, than have to have the game down for another day because some bug was found and your armor would not show up. People remember the naked incident lol. I bought the game because of how they handled that one. They did it right way then.
