Seriously...? No word from SE 20 hours now...

Cant wait to buy more bottles of Fanta Jacky?

They said 1am PT, if there isn't updates its because all is going well, so stop complaining about everything

No need to go all fanboi on the OP. 99% of every other MMOs allows players to download an update before servers come back up instead of waiting until the servers go live.

While I agree about no news is good news, SE still should have allowed players to download the update before servers go live.

Patience is a virtue. They're adding more server hardware and whatnot for housing and need to make sure all that runs correctly when they bring the game back online, both of which can take a fair amount of time. They also have to get all the updates onto all the servers we play on. Plus they have to test everything to make sure it all runs correctly before they turn the servers back on. AND they need to have the other servers prepared for the massive amount of people signing in and downloading the patch.

They shouldn't need to tell update exactly what they're doing while they're doing their jobs. While everyone would like an update, it's not necessary for them to give one until they feel it's needed (i.e. "SERVERS ARE UP! RELEASED FULL PATCH NOTES!" or "Maintenance will be extended by X amount of hours due to unforeseen complications").

I am a bit surprised the patch isn't up yet.

[Eisengrim]

My guess is that they are delaying the patch download so people can't datamine it. SE seems to care about weird things like that.

My guess is that they are delaying the patch download so people can't datamine it. SE seems to care about weird things like that.

So, to delay the datamining a couple hours they decide to screw anyone who doesnt have a fast internet conection.

Yay SE

Maybe they are using the patching as a way to throttle the logins. So people don't all hit the servers at once and bring them down?

[Lithera]

Anyone stopped to think that the client download is on the datacenter servers which may not be booted back up and ready to go yet? Do you guys also want hourly tweets from the techs saying "There There...don't worry...the patch is still on time. Here's an instagram pic of one of the server stacks getting rewired". They're taking longer than previous patches to put the client update up but that can easily be technical problems.

I forgot which patch it was but I remember there was no response from SE for the entire day until the last hr where they announced an extension which lasted a few hrs. Followed by an emergency maintenance. So effectively most of patch day was unplayable due to server maint. And also due server instability when we actually got to play.
