We expect to turn on Plunderstorm later today. We’ll let you know when that’s happening.

Thank you for your patience!

    I think the thing is that there isn't any explanation for it. Usually when they do an extended maintenance it's because a patch or something. I think maybe that's why some might be a little confused.

    Yeah, I guess Blizzard could say "why" there is the discrepancy...but I guess somebody would just complain about THAT and don't accept it /shrug

    because they're adding Plunderstorm to the game which I imagine they don't need to do again for EU? maybe? that's the only thing I can think of

    I mean your not wrong. I notice people online complain just to complain. If I never responded to them then I would barely post anything at all on social media.

    Maybe because the US servers begin the update several hours before EU and they figure out the problems and then are able to apply the solution when also updating the EU servers? Logic is hard.

    Who even asked for Plunderstorm to make a return? did anyone apart from streamers actually enjoy it?
