that's not true, Arenanet does things right, sometimes they just mess things up. look at the release of Prophecies and how smooth that went.

using the -image command i've been decompressing files for about the last 15mins, started with about 37000 files to decompress, i am now at 64% with 12000 to go.

Propably because some people are peeved that they didnt get to play last night, like they were expecting, and when they woke up, it still doesnt work - despite what the main page says.

I pulled 2 updates (one small one large) in immediate succession, and now nothing.

Oh well. Hopefully we will get an extra day or something on the NF servers.

Think of it this way - itll let you better stress test :|

I can just imagine all the tech crew working frantically From office to office, papers flying, phones ringing off the hook.

In reality: The hamster stopped spinning on its wheel.

LordDeArnise · Sep 22, 2006, 01:48 PM // 13:48

I wouldn't call it a fiasco, just a freak...technical....incident that delayed the event.

Ulivious The Reaper · Sep 22, 2006, 01:49 PM // 13:49

to anyome bitching:

there are problems. live with it. for ppl that received ALL the updates on their servers nightfall is live now.
if u have nothing to update but dont have the event it's because your server havent received all the needed files.

just relax. if u want to play the event from the first second this wait it the price to pay. if u dont like this go out, have a walk and when u'll be back u'll download all the updates fast and will start playing nightfall

Sure they do, on a rare occasion.

AhuraMazda, I know how you feel.

go eat some food, relax the world won't end, you'll have the rest of the life of the guild wars servers to play. All you people get agitated and it's all in your head, don't go crazy, life it's how you look at it, go to the great temple of balthazar join the circle and dance for a bit.

Lady Lozza · Sep 22, 2006, 01:49 PM // 13:49

Ok problem here, my guildies are reporting, and downloading updates. They are on the same server (EU) as I am. I am not having ANY updates reported ingame, and I'm pulling no downloads at all when I open the client (normally ie not the -image path).

Update - Friday September 22

We had difficulty distributing the Live build using our normal distribution process, so we have been distributing it manually to file servers around the world, one server at a time. Therefore, players on some servers will receive the update sooner than players on other servers.

We expect to complete distributing the build to all servers within the next 15 minutes, and when the distribution is complete, we will open access to Elona and start the preview event.

Oh...

Receiving stuff now!

Dude wtf? Its not us that botched the release of a hyped product, it was them.

Next time, actually test the files and launch system in a real beta.

Finding an error a couple of hours prior to launch is just poor testing.

phasola · Sep 22, 2006, 01:50 PM // 13:50

not bothered about the dealy
but they could have at least make 1 SINGLE update so i didnt have to log off every 5 min...
