Seven hours downtime?

If this isn't the release for both Beastmastery and Staff fighting at the same time, I'm going to fly over to America.

Belive me I have a crocodile.

And paper wings.

And a stapler.

You have been warned.

im fairly sure that its beast mastery, and if they added staff too that would just be gravy lol, next week is prolly definitely gonna be the finale to the sig arc cause it will be right around when the "salute to statesman" loyalty program ends (ie march 31st, and ive talked to a lot of poeple who forgotten about that lol)

Actually I would just prefer the newest beta patch would hit live tomorrow, to fix my Umbra Beast and put the rest of the Dark and Gravity changes out there.

i think it will most likely be that in addition to adding beast mastery to the market

If so, that is a hella fast turn around time - they just hit the beta server last week.

It's either the build that just hit Beta, or a build that hasn't been publicly tested at all. Those are the only realistic options.

or just turning on an event from last year that everyone has forgotten about (which seems unlikely)

I'm seriously not expecting Staff Fighting.

In the most recent Producer's Letter, War Witch listed the next four new things that would go on the Paragon Market. The first one went up two weeks ago tomorrow, the second one went up a week ago tomorrow, and the third one is Beast Mastery. You do the math.

I was just checking the forums to see if it was announced for tomorrow, yet, and to see if anybody could remind me what time the market usually updates, because I was debating staying up late to start my beasts/traps Resistance mastermind. But now that it looks like, instead of the market just routinely updating early in the morning, it won't update until mid afternoon CDT? Yeah, I think not.

Seven hours. Sheesh. Whatever happened to patches only taking four hours?

Based on a post from Zwill, it sounds like Beast Mastery.
Also, based on a red name post from a week or two ago (can't remember who), Marketing likes to "pace" the releases of powersets. So I think we won't get Staff at the same time.

Am I right in thinking that as Europe hasn't moved to summer time yet, this is actually 11-6 british time ?


It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba

Dunno Britain goes back an hour Saturday night though, or the week after.

I thought it was "Get Tested Regularly"

Well, it is mostly bug fixes.

The actual changes that have been made are relatively minor, and have been tested internally. The week on beta was basically just to see if any crippling bugs popped up.

You tell people it'll take 25 hours to get it done so they're amazed when you get it done in only 12 hours, and then you get to spend 11 hours gaming?

Okay MajorDecoy, what did you do with the other 2 hours.

Wait.

Don't answer that.

You play on Justice.

I'm pretty sure I know what you did for 2 hours.


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.

La Forge: Look, Mr. Scott, I'd love to explain everything to you, but the Captain wants this spectrographic analysis done by 1300 hours.
[La Forge goes back to work; Scotty follows slowly]

Scotty: Do you mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.

La Forge: Yeah, well, I told the Captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour.

Scotty: How long will it really take?

La Forge: An hour!

Scotty: Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would *really* take, did ya?

La Forge: Well, of course I did.

Scotty: Oh, laddie. You've got a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker.
