Cataclysm needs to be released: On TIME???

Runespirit	wysłany: 14 lat temu Ok guys, here is where we are at right now. Patch 4.0.1, Overdue. Extra wait time: 4-6 Hours Patch 4.0.3, Overdue. Extra wait time 6-9 Hours Cataclysm full expansion release (December 7th 2010.), Overdue possibility: wait time 12-24 Hours??? I'm so serious, patches I can wait for, but this expansion needs to release as soon as the clock hit's 12:00 AM. Otherwise I think it would be better for you to start organizing compensation for players. This is one of the biggest games in the world, back it up. Do everything in your power, which I know you can, to ensure this gets released on time. No Excuses.

The only trick, at least for BC, was logging out and back in before you could port to Outland. I'm not sure if the same was true for Northrend, although I was doing it anyway. Either way, there's no maintenance period planned for midnight, it's just a command we run on all the servers, and assuming your account is upgraded, shazam, everything opens up.

Bashiok	wysłany: 14 lat temu I read all these remarks and wonder what fantasy world people live in. Do you honestly expect a game, with millions of lines of code, to work perfectly because you say so? It ain't gonna happen. Actually, it has less to do with us saying it will happen and more to do with all evidence suggesting that servers will be live at release. Last two expansions worked out fine; I fully expect this one to as well. Also, I'm sure Blizzard understands the difference between a patch being delayed and a much anticipated expansion being delayed. Why do you think the last two patches took so much time in the first place? More than likely to ensure the expansion doesn't. Burning Crusade didn't work out fine. Not at release. It was set to release in Late November / Early December, but it was delayed until mid February. When it released, it was practically unplayable for a few weeks because of the heinous server lag. Wrath also was horribly laggy prior to release. I kind of remember some lag with BC, looting and such, but I don't remember any for Wrath. Every realm is different, though. None of that has anything to do with launch night being on time or not, though.
