PTR is now in Release Candidate

[Clebane]

Is it possible to go live this Tuesday? I'm sure they don't work on weekends. So only really 2 working days till Tuesday.

[TJ]

Doubt it, likely the week after or after that.

[Shuttle]

Would be great to see it this Tuesday, but it's not very likely. I'm taking bets at next week.

Fingers crossed for this week though.

[yeto]

dont thay normaly give 14 days warning for patches?

Blizzard never gives warning for patches minus the ones which deal with the removal of stuff.

They have before. They did for 5.2 so people could get their upgrades done.

or end of arena season

or end of arena season

Yeah. Although I don't think the Arena season is ending with this patch?

[Wishblade]

Maaaybe we'll have our patch next Tuesday... But I doubt it. 28th/29th I think.

[Chickat]

Betting it will be on the 28th. It seems like they usually release patches on the last Tuesday of a month when they can.

[loki504]

and thats why they will not give a warning. but i'm sure blizzard will give some hinds on the date like they allways do.

[yeto]

well since valor upgrades are back - i bet players want 3k valor in the bank rdy to upgrade, but if there is no warning players will prolly cry.

That's only when there's a new tier included with the patch. Non tier patches never had a lengthy warning ahead.

I assume it going live either this reset or the reset after.

Don't think that matters now, they reduced the cost by a lot, plus RC to launch never tkates longer than 2weeks.

No, they specifically said (Zaryhm, at least) that they were giving early warning so people could get their upgrades done. It had nothing to do with the new tier.

My money's on the 21st. Blizzard attempted to stagger their other major IP releases around the 5.2 release 2 weeks apart. Diablo patch was on the 7th. So 2 weeks would be the 21st.

My other argument against the 28th is that's immediately following Memorial Day, and Blizzard is really good about giving their employees time off for major holidays. If it didn't come on the 21st, I would expect 2 weeks after that. So I think they'll try really hard to get it out on the 21st, even if they have to apply more 'fast patches', which they inevitably will.

[Zachdavis]

My money is the patch hits the 21st. the op above me is correct about the holiday, so get ready for this coming Tuesday

[Schwert]

It'll probably be the 27th;

Unless we get an announcement earlier tonight I doubt they'd go in without prior warning.

[Frostinferno]

It'll be the 21st. The constant release of extremely minor PTR builds is proof that they're just putting the finishing touches on the patch. There's really no reason at all for them to hold off one more week.

[KCguy]

Not yet. But I'd say in a week or two.

i want it now, schwert. ^_^
