So was the 2.8G patch released today the prepatch?

Really? That's a huge patch just to fix an exploit. /boggle Where are the patch notes? I didn't see them in the announcements.

Positive.

*Edit: Patch notes are up, it was just an exploit fix after all. Maybe it was only a 2.8 Meg patch, seemed to take awhile for such a small patch though (and I could *swear* it said Gig). Oh well, sorry if I got anyones hopes up.

Not always. Let's see how they add up by issues. Dates taken from ParagonWiki Timeline page.


Code:
Issue 16 - September 15, 2009 Tuesday
Issue 15 - June 29, 2009      Monday
Issue 14 - April 8, 2009      Wednesday
Issue 13 - December 2, 2008   Tuesday
Issue 12 - May 20, 2008       Tuesday
Issue 11 - November 28, 2007  Wednesday
Issue 10 - July 24, 2007      Tuesday
Issue  9 - May 1, 2007        Tuesday
Issue  8 - November 28, 2006  Tuesday
Issue  7 - June 6, 2006       Tuesday
CoV      - October 31, 2005   Monday
Issue  6 - October 27, 2005   Thursday  CoV Headstart same day
Issue  5 - August 8, 2005     Wednesday
Issue  4 - May 4, 2005        Wednesday
Issue  3 - January 4, 2005    Tuesday
Issue  2 - September 16, 2004 Thursday
Issue  1 - June 29, 2004      Tuesday
CoH      - April 27, 2004     Tuesday
Headstart- April 24, 2004     Saturday

Monday        - 2
Tuesday       - 9    Non-Tuesday's - 9
Wednesday     - 4
Thursday      - 2
Friday        - 0
Saturday      - 1
Sunday        - 0
Now it's true that I counted the CoH Headstart in that Non-Saturday number but to me and many others, that was the our release date. But in fairness, I didn't count the CoV Headstart and Issue 6 twice since they were the same day.

As you can see from the chart, it's almost equally as likely that an Issue patch will be released on a day other than Tuesday as it is that it will be released on a Tuesday.

So, can we let this fallacy die once and for all? Please?

Think I'm gonna hang onto that chart and keep it updated. And pull it out every single time I see someone make that fallacious statement.

Maybe if I repeat it enough times people will finally realize the truth.











I'm not holding my breath.

How about this then (going from your chart): An issue is more likely to go live on a Tuesday then any other given day of the week.

Think about it, while it's a 50/50 ratio that it wont be Tuesday, Tuesday seems to be the favored launch day.

Meaning i17 live is in about 2 weeks.

Or sooner. I logged out, and it started to download. That means prepatch for next issue usually.

Well saying it's just as likely to be a [not tuesday] doesn't supplant tuesday being the most common patch day. Tuesday is a popular patch day for a lot of software.

Not the point being made. My post was in response to the statement below:

Ya I didn't expect I17 to go live tomorrow (as Issues are patched in on Tuesdays)
Bolding and italics are mine.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

And I didn't say it had to be tuesday, or that it couldn't be

Either way, Tuesday is the most Kafkaesque day, so patches are most likely to be a part of the madness.

Madness!
