yeah but technicalyl that's not classed as a typo because they're supposed to start dropping

That's a really weak argument...since when has any event started at 12:01 in the morning?

Come on, people. I know alot of you have been here long enough to know bigger updates always launch later in the afternoon. This isn't anything new.

Just pointing out what is on the site. I am well aware of when events typically start. ANET updated the GW site with the calander of events. That is why I asked if it was a typo given that one already has been pointed out maybe that is another. Not a huge leap people.

no typo just DOES NOT GIVE A TIME so people need to stop bitching

The in-game announcement before you login says that it starts on the 23rd at noon PST/8pm GMT. So it should've really started already(well, the cupcakes dropping at least).

May I recommend a DS game til' then!

No, you misinterpreted what was on the site. The site says April 23rd. It doesn't say April 23rd 12:01AM PST. As long as the update comes before April 23rd at 11:59 pm PST, that's all they have to "deliver" on.

Black Metal · Apr 23, 2009, 09:21 PM // 21:21

leave it up to Anet to create such confusion with their ambiguities and contradictions on what should otherwise be a very simple matter. Also, they have a proven track record for botching major holiday events.

@^^:"No, you misinterpreted what was on the site. The site says April 23rd. It doesn't say April 23rd 12:01AM PST. As long as the update comes before April 23rd at 11:59 pm PST, that's all they have to "deliver" on."

the in-game login screen says noon, which right now was 2.5 hrs ago. So.......there very much is some Anet self-contradiction going on right now, and considering all the things up in the air, who knows WHAT is going to happen. Yesterday Lyndsey said (I believe in this thread) that info was coming 'very soon'. Well, it's about time to cough it up, because they are causing a big mess.

The in-game announcement says otherwise, it does say April 23rd noon PST.

If it were any other weekend event or even any other birthday anniversary, I'm sure it would be simple. However, we know that this build is going to have some significant, beefy content, so I'm sure they want to make sure it's just right before releasing it.

is that what it says?

I understand the English language and to me it says the event ends at a certain time but states no time for the start, just a date.

BenjZee · Apr 23, 2009, 09:38 PM // 21:38

First they have it written wrong and it says Thurs April 24th..They fixed it and made it Thurs April 23..they couldn't fix it and give us a "about" start time? I know this is supposed to be a big update and all, but geesh give the loyal members of GW a break. I know alot of people who rearrange their days and weekends around this special event.

therangereminem · Apr 23, 2009, 09:50 PM // 21:50

linsey did state on her main page that the big update might not happen til next week. and all we get to day is the towns and cupcakes and things no storage or big things

the big update of storage tabs and xunlai may come next week but then again we're not sure what they could put into this update here
they could put the entire weekends worth of stuff up now and have it display at appropriate times.

mistresslanakeat · Apr 23, 2009, 09:56 PM // 21:56

OK, so no big updates...why cant they give us our cuppy cakes? LOL

Polgara Val · Apr 23, 2009, 10:01 PM // 22:01

I would be very dissapointed personally if the big update didnt happen tonight or tommorow, they have had plenty of time almost 4 months no?

Then again how long did it take anet to update/fix the rollerbeetle racing top 100? Only 3 years if i recall correctly and that was just a minor fix let alone a massive update

The update will come when it comes at the end of the day though, the event starting though i just realised how much they messed that up if its today or tommorow who knows

distilledwill · Apr 23, 2009, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Next week? Sorry, but there is a limit. If it doesnt come tomorrow night, well, I'd just be very very very dissappointed. Its one thing to cancel a skill update, its quite another to post about BIG updates on the main website on a certain day, make a big song and dance about it with a fancy page devoted to these new updates and get everyone all excited and then simply not do it.
