A Thursday live publish?

*ahem* I think natural selection might be trying to tell you something. I applaud your fighting spirit! Stupid nature.
Oh, I used to be allergic to chocolate as well. In fact, when I was younger, I was pretty much allergic to EVERYTHING. Including eggs, chocolate, peanut butter, all forms of milk (including my own mother's milk..as an INFANT you pervs!), bees, cats, poison ivy (my reaction was far worse than most), ummm... I am sure there is more that I can't recall right off. The cabinet under my bathroom sink was always stocked with sample cases of liquid benadryl given to us by my pediatrician.

So you pulled the trial from the update that it's named for??? Lame.
Nope.
We pulled it to do some more work on it, hence the lack of hoopla and fanfair for this update. We got some good feedback during the beta and we felt it was more important to react to that and make appropriate changes. |
Also, *fanfare.
Also also, please ditch that stupid old video drivers popup. It's annoying and redundant.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
It does seem to be rather well.
Stupid to do this.
A whole bunch of down time through some peoples prime time, and you don't even actually release the big thing for the update? Meaning you'll pull the exact same thing again some other evening?

heh, between that and a certain game about a bladed weapon being held the opposite of earthward hitting on the 20th on the wii, i will likely be scarce for a month or so, particularly if syrim gets the quality modders that oblivion did.

2 A.M. ET? Someone's prime time.
6 A.M. ET? Someone's prime time.
2 P.M. ET? Someone's prime time.
6 P.M. ET? Someone's prime time.
The trick is to find a time that inconveniences the least amount of users. And like it or not, they did.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

For all the people making fun of us complaining about the down time eat some crow! What is the point of this excessive downtime if they are NOT launching Media Blitz?

Oh, I don't know, maybe all the other stuff that was in the release.

But you don't really care, so why are you asking?

Eat some Crow? Um.. no.. might want to read again... The Trial itself got pulled for some last minute changes (I expect that Tuesday likely) but you still have a MUCH easier Keyes that offers better rewards, New incarnate abilities, a bunch of power fixes... Yeah.. for a mid-issue release... This is perfectly acceptable.

The only blights are the UI bug and from what I hear the new badge-counter thing is screwed. And Both will likely get fixed by Tuesday I bet.

I'm not entirely sure "eat crow" means what you think it means, considering they, y'know, did...

Are you being coy?
The point of mid issue releases is about Incarnate content. |
Besides, this happens to contain numerous changes, including modifications to both of the newer trials and a bucket load of new incarnate powers.
Do I think it's silly to not include the trial for which the release is named? Yes. Am I happy to get the rewards changes and the new incarnate powers? Damn yes. Am I sad that we didn't get the new trial? Not deeply. I wasn't excited about it to start with.
Am I pleased that this went live with reported bugs? No, I am decidedly not happy with that part.
But your complaint, which you are desperately trying do defend, is that you dislike the downtime. I think what we got was worth the downtime. The idea that any crow needs to be eaten over that is stupid.

Seems pretty clear to me. Testing integrated publish/maintenance isn't something I want them rushing thru. However no answer is going to satisfy people suffering entitlement issues.

Assuming that epic = meh.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
Why do you keep saying "if true"? It's not available in LFG, and Zwillinger has confirmed that it's still in Beta. It doesn't get truer than that.

In that case, I am in disbelief that you are in disbelief.
