Shadowbringers pre-download

After midnight and still no patch data available for pre-load :/

Yeah Vahlnir, to be honest, the only thing I ask is an approximate time to download the game, nothing more. I regret the lack of communication community managers who prefer to put artwork rather than answer us on twitter.

we pay a subscription, an extension is the minimum.

Almost 2 am cmooon

It's only 3 pm pst, a little over half way through the maintenance period. Chances are it'll still be a few hours before it drops. Maybe not even until 11pm/12am pst.

And then you'd have people with limited bandwidth, or horrid internet, complaining. Which ironically, it seems they'd do anyways...

That's not how it works though, if they needed to make a mistake we have things like hotfixes. They can just send out a much smaller amount of data to fix the mistake. Another question is... can I leave my client opened and logged into while I sleep or will I have to close it and relog in to start the download?

Past expansions were around that time as I recall. It's been awhile so my memory might be off but it's still early to expect the download.

SB was available 18hrs before release.

If Square didn't feel like they had to hold the download to avoid data miners from spoiling they would probably release it earlier.

Exactly and now we are like 9 Hours, 33 Minutes, 10 Seconds before release!!

My only concern is just that there is usually some difficulty downloading thanks to the mad rush of people all trying to get at it at once. This is going to be even worse if they hold until just before the release.
