I19 going Live today?

Based off this thread, there's major issues with Inherent Fitness, Respecs and Kheldians. So I guess it's not yet ready for prime time.
Not that there aren't other current in game issues that could have used a patch to fix. "Cough", "Cough" and all that.
A "go-no-go" from the developers would be nice.
Although if the development team is anything like the one I work on the programmers just stumbled home a few hours ago after a final heroic push to fix every outstanding bug.
Which means a program manager is grilling an intern right now as to the state of the release while futily trying to contact comatose technical leads.
At the most recent Meet and Greet the announcement was that "I19 would release Nov 16 <long pause> ish." There was also mention that if it was unable to come out "16-ish" that they wouldn't want to release until after Thanksgiving due to holiday time off and such.
Everyone is patiently waiting to see what will happen today but as of now, nothing official.
Currently on Virtue:
Jinrazuo - Crab Spider
RWZ All-Pylon Solo Run
My guess is no.

I would say the servers not going down at 8am is a "no go" from the devs. |

The Kheldian bug seems to have been solved by the last patch by the way.

Yeah, Khelds not being able to re-spec is a huge issue... especially since my all-human Warshade is going to be my first Alpha toon.

It looks like the week after Thanksgiving might be a more plausible launch date for I19

From what I've observed, they follow a pretty strict policy of publishing to test prior to going live. And it has to stay on test for one cycle.
If the latest patch on test fixed the big issues with Khelds and Doms, I am hopeful that 16ish can become 17th.
I'm looking for an extended maintenance announcement around 4pm today for Wednesday morning, and I'm not giving up hope yet!
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Just because this game "usually" kicks off new Issues on Tuesdays doesn't mean there's a law that says they can only release them on Tuesdays. I figure with Thanksgiving coming up next week they are still highly motivated to get it out the door before then.|

I'm not going to write-off the chance of getting I19 before Thanksgiving until about Thursday of this week. If the only show-stopping problem holding it up right now is the Kheldian bug that bug could be fixed anytime in the next day or two. My guess is the Devs would be willing to risk having to put in some potential overtime this weekend in order to keep themselves from having to worry about it next weekend.

I am on the overnight shift throughout the holidays which means I get off work at 6:00am, grab breakfast and coffee, and can start my mass respecting before I crash at 2:00PM..and I have the talent of going from being wide awake and bushy-tailed to falling asleep at the keyboard within seconds, internal alarm clock I guess, so plenty of time for respecs. Bring it on

Don't think that all Issues were released on Tuesday (can someone check that, saw post couple of issues ago when were which release), so Thursday is also possibility. Still hoping for this week so I can start respecing.

Lisa gives Jophiel a hug. It's ok, you are ahead of the game. Think of it like getting all your Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving. Your recipes and notes aren't going anywhere, and now you can relax and not be stressed when issue 19 hits |

They definitely aren't all released on Tuesdays, but they rarely if ever are released on Thursdays or Fridays.

If it's not released this week, it won't be released next week. Americans celebrate Thanksgiving next week, and most people end up taking most/all of the week off to travel and be with their families. The devs are people too.

Don't know where I got Thursday, maybe usual maintenance got me confused. Still possibility for tomorrow.

Most people don't take the whole week off, or business would shut down the whole week. I know where I work we're limited to how many can take vacation in a specific department at one time so we don't compromise our productivity. I'd say most (exempting retail, emergency and food service) get off the four day weekend.

The problem is what if they release it and there's something seriously wrong with the launch? They don't want to have the devs do crunch patching work over Thanksgiving.

I had the impression that I19 was going Live today, but I don't see any announcements about timing, so I guess it's not?
