    And now 5 PM and in about 40 mins 6 PM they really should just stop giving us a time and say we will let you know when the server's are up cause they are never right.

    intelect= mana, spelldmg, crit
    agility= 2ap, crit, dodge
    strength= 2ap, parry

    str should either grant 3 ap per point, give crit OR have haste incorporated in it.

    Damn, you beat me to it

    I'm willing to bet that the servers will be up for an hour, then crash for another 2 hours

    It was probably a dumb idea to hope to raid tonight, wasn't it?
    i know our Rl thought we were gonna raid tonight

    my thinking was, really?

    big patch day, the realms will be up Exactly at 12pm, really.

    everyone will know how to spec, how to glyph, reforge will be done in minutes.. ten, tops!

    it will be like riding a bike, even though not everyone reads EJ or was on the PTR, really.

    of course, everyone redid all of their addons at 6am, even though most of them arent proven and will have to reinstall the old addons

    <<< shocked.

    "EU Maintenance extended, now scheduled to end at 04:00PM CST as well, instead of 12:00PM"

    I don't understand these times. Doesn't make sense.

    Does that mean they will finish same time as US?
    How will it be extended if it's CST?

    :S

    This is why I never really plan on playing on a major patch day. Think of it this way tho, this is a prep patch, so it "should" mean that the realms will be fired up for the GM's to throw the switch with minimal down time if any.

    Though I agree with a previous poster. They should take a lesson from Mr. Scott and estimate high and bring the realms up early. For example, give a 24 hour maintenance expectation, then bring the realms up after 19 or 20 hours. Much better PR.

    People actually think things will go well on patch days?

    This has been going on since the game came out. Lower your expectations, and your blood pressure will do the same.




    Random sidenote, I'm still waiting for this massive patch to install itself, so I can't play anyhow :x

    Ah, but if they admit it will take 24 hours, they will need to refund everyone 24 hours of game time. A full day. It's no longer ignorable as merely an inconvenience.
