Any bets on what time we can make evokers? 8am pst?

2

When the patch is done. 8am is insanely optimistic for a big patch. I think we would be lucky prior to 3pm pst. I wouldnt be shocked to see patch extended at least once.

So like usual i will head to work and hope its done by the time i get home

Bout that time.

Isnā€™t everything already in? Donā€™t they just need to flip a switch at this point and turn it on?

Maintenance tomorrow is from 7am PST to 3pm PST.

I would not count on 8am anything south of 12pm is a safe bet along with lots of lag.

3pm PST. Servers will be up and running.

Itā€™s never that easy.

If that logic held true we would have had the same thing a few weeks ago to ā€˜turn onā€™ the new ui, talents and stop the set bonuses.

Ive been around long enough to know its rarely that simple. I would expect earlier then 3pm to be the dream at this point.

Expansion on the 28th i would put further back with late that night it being up and many restarts and emergency patches over the weekend

Thatā€™s their target, but Iā€™m betting closer to 6pm PST.

I have no expectation of actually being able to play tomorrow. If they get it done in time thatā€™s great, if not I get to grab the popcorn and indulge on all of the outraged forum posts of people absolutely shocked that a prepatch wasnā€™t done on time

We have days like this so that the expansion launch day is less painful.

Apart from a handful of people, BFA and Shadowlands launch day went rather smooth.

Sure but itā€™s still pretty up in the air if you are going to get a smooth launch or WoD, and thereā€™s no accounting for queue times on busy servers even if it does go smoothly.

I have always counseled to not get your hopes up and I have never felt ā€œoutragedā€ when things happen. The patient life is a peaceful one.

It says 3pm pst on the desktop app.
Iā€™d put money itā€™ll get delayed until 5pm at leastā€¦

I wasnā€™t here for WoD launch cause my computer decided to stop running wow with the WoD pre-patch. (RIP Core Hound Mount :()

But Legion, BFA, and SL all went very smooth for me and I played without interruption for like 12 hours.

Legion was when they introduced Sharding to prevent the issues that previous expac overload was causing.

And I hope it goes well, Iā€™m still not going to expect it to. I certainly wouldnā€™t put my faith in it strongly enough to take a day off of work or anything.

Wrath classic launch for instance was pretty smooth on my server, but for the folks on benediction there were 8 hour queue times. Hype can drive huge traffic and the more an expac is hyped the more likely it is to happen.

I know they have put in a bunch of work to mitigate that, all Iā€™m saying is donā€™t be surprised if it still goes south you know?

I prepare for the worst, expect the worst.

That way Iā€™m pleasantly surprised if it goes well.

But I still try to be optimistic.

Exactly, I guess what I mean is having a plan B for what to do tomorrow evening isnā€™t the worst thing you could do lol
