Oooohhh god... the W A I T

If only I could freeze myself & wake up after the patch is live...

Isn't that called sleeping?

I feel your pain! I'll be up all night checking the server status and praying they turn the servers back on early again.

Yeah, it's annoying. I'll actually be getting off work right around the time the servers go down.

For a second I thought this was going to be about waiting for a specific Fate for an Atma book. :p

But yeah, the wait for the patch. On the plus side, I'm at work so if it was up now I wouldn't be able to play anyway, so I'm ok with it being done overnight and ready tomorrow. Especially since I have tomorrow off. ^_^

Its gonna suck getting home from work at 5 EST tomorrow and seeing "RAMUH EXTEREME PF! EXPERIENCED WINNERS ONLY!"

Does anyone know the exact time the patch will go live, for GMT+0 players? Will be able to log in from work via logmein to just start the patch.

you should sleep while maintenance.. once 2.3 goes life.. you wont get much sleep :D

The Lodestone says that it will go down at 8PM PST tonight and will be back up at 4AM PST tomorrow. That said, I'm sure you can do the conversion with google.

Additionally however, from past experience the servers often go live again several hours before the scheduled time. For example, I believe for patch 2.2 the servers came back up 3.5 hours or so before the scheduled time. So with that, I don't think anybody can give you an exact answer aside from what's posted on the Lodestone. You will most likely be able to download/install the patch well before the servers come back up however.

My thanks, friends. I'll make sure to set the patch to download for sure then.

I actually get home right around when the servers come up.

I'll be dead tired by then, but I can set it up to patch and play when I wake up

Servers come up at 9pm my time (assuming maintenance isnt extended, which Im sure it will be) but thats around the time I go to bed on work nights >_< which means I wont be able to get on for 20 hours after it goes back up. But now Im thinking of it, if personal rooms require FC rank priviledges, Im probably going to have to stay up just to allow it because otherwise Im sure my FC will be impatient waiting for me to come home and enable it ):

You mentioned setting it up to download the patch. Is there a way to automate it so it does it automatically?

Soon™

So yeah, expect "exp only" or speedruns for tonight....10 hours after patch....

Lol, to heck with them. If its obviously the persons first time through I let them watch it. Even so, whats a little extra time. If some people are that worried about it, try to find a group of like minded people for your first run. Party finder is great for that even if you dont have a FC. Tools are there, we just need to make use of them

I have never once used party finder. For some reason I am intimidated by it.

I would be terrified to see what Dr. Hildebrand prescribes for the Chocobo Flu :D
