lol even as much as I am in these forums, I logged in and opened my vault. I’m really lucky I didn’t get the bug. Even if I read the notes, I’m still being locked out of my character. I haven’t read anything in any notes about bugs with purchasing something the auction house and being unable to log into my character and then can’t access my warband bank after that until my character becomes available again.
I didn’t know I would have to wait until the next day to buy something from the auction house after that to upgrade a piece of gear I got from the vault, even though I tried on all my characters to do that.
It’s really weird.
The date thing, is less relevant than the bugs and lag. But still would be nice to be highlighted a bit more than they are so people know when it’s coming out without having to look into it so much.
100% the reason they don’t earlier is because it immediately kills any hype for the patch date itself.
