Info on Early Access (including times!) and question...

The bug...... -_-

Early access starting in the morning is not all bad. It being early in the morning might lower the chance that the servers will instantly crash from the load. Just imagine if they launched it in prime time. That seems like an accident waiting to happen.

The bug...... -_-

Custom adblock filters yay.

I'm excited about it starting in the morning tbh. I would have been up all night on the 18th otherwise just because of the anticipation. At least, now when I pass out around 3 pm est from a lack of sleep, I will have had some quality time with my Au Ra machinist.

The only thing missing from the lodestone page is information about the DX11 client...
Community reps, please say something about this.

Calling it DX11 client is most likely a pretty poor wording choice. You'll download the same things as everybody else, and just have to select DX11 somewhere in the game config wills if you want to use it.

I read it, but I'd still like some official word on this rather than speculation that seem likely.

Some of the online retailers are not emailing out early access codes until the 19th. I'm sure it's not going to be at 12:01 A.M. either, which means that early access is starting to look less and less early.

The last official word was that DX11 would be a separate client that would have to be downloaded and installed separately. However, since then the benchmark was released and it (at least) doesn't appear to be as separate as we were led to believe.

Even if you get the codes on the 19th, and won't be able to play until the 20th... That's still early.

Looked at the page, looks like there is a one week grace period to enter your actual expansion code since EA ends on Sat the 27th. Your character needs to be out of an expansion area if you somehow don't have it by then unless they implement some kind of teleport.
