Can a Moderator change the threadtitle to 'A Big Delay'?

I don't think a 'small delay' is warranted anymore.

ANet and Events, a successtory:

GWWC:
The sound on the floor makes that (aggressive) strategies that rely on communication are having a real hard time

Faction collector's eidtion early start
some buyers get their access too late

The Dragon Festival
Kisu turns out to be the owner of a cloning devise, and creates replica's that send a shockwave of confusion

GWFC
The first day's matches have to be rescheduled for technical problems

Nightfall preview event
Still needs to start...

I know, I'm talking acid here. But I have to say this damages the reputation of the company.

38k files is roughly redownloading the whole game isn't it?

Silent Coyote · Sep 22, 2006, 02:11 PM // 14:11

Now even the EU guild wars web site is reporting the event as started, yet still no one in europe can get into nightfall.

Lady Lozza · Sep 22, 2006, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Meh, midnight in Aust, tg it's the weekend...

Ah, ok. I guess I shouldn't believe what's on the official site.

AhuraMazda · Sep 22, 2006, 02:12 PM // 14:12

As far as I am aware there are ATLEAST 2 massive downloads, broken up by numerous smaller downloads, all of which results in a greyed out Nightfall selection screen.

What else is to come, who knows.

I didn't realize time moved differently in EU.

Did the -image thing and now I got some 37k files to decompress... hopefully it will finish by the end of the event.

awitelin · Sep 22, 2006, 02:13 PM // 14:13

I don't think most people should be complaining about the amount of time it's taking.

What's particularly frustrating is that GW updated their website claiming the event is open, when it clearly wasn't, and has yet to be, open.

You can't blame ANet for computer error delays, but you can blame them for getting the fanboy hopes up. Kinda cruel really.

Wow will people stop posting "I have one/two updates but not the others OMG whats happening Anet hates me!! QQ"

If you have one then your inline for the others just wait and it will come.

Quote:

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

This stuff takes time.

More than the reported 15 minutes, obviously.

I'm OK with it taking longer, I just want a realistic estimate from ANet instead of this optimistic stuff, so I don't have to sit by comp trying it every 3 or 4 minutes if it's going to be a while.

Electric Sky · Sep 22, 2006, 02:13 PM // 14:13

for some reason i cant access the european gw site, but i can access the american site without problem

Senator Tom · Sep 22, 2006, 02:14 PM // 14:14

As long as it's up by the time I get back from school, I'm good.

Cyllaven · Sep 22, 2006, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Yeah, the US site also says the event open right now to; none of us can get in though. However, if you go to log in and look at the topics on the side it says the event has been delay and that they will update on the site when the event open >.>

sassoonssamson · Sep 22, 2006, 02:15 PM // 14:15

I hope you were being sarcastic in the self-owning way, because... if you meant that... well, you'd better go read up on "Time Zones".

JGaff · Sep 22, 2006, 02:15 PM // 14:15

More info and insight from Gaile would be of some use about now.

Still nothing on NF in America...

Realistic timeframes, FTW.
