usnedward.9023 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 YAY! It s release of PoF day! May I remind all you folk that:There will be a downloadThere will be lagThere will undoubtedly be some patches in the coming days to fix what testing does not always findThere will be broken mechanics (usually)There will be whinersThere will be terrible &^%$#$ type of chatThere will be fun!Can we all have just a little patience? Can we all just stop comparing what WoW and other MMOs do? Can we just have some fun when PoF finally drops?Good luck all on the release, good fortune and may you find the treasures that make you rich beyond what you have!

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I feel like a little kid who woke up on Christmas morning before Mom & Dad said I could get up. I hope everyone has a wonderful time in the Crystal Desert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may or may not release on time and wouldn't it be great if it released early:) I can picture the all nighter the Dev team pulled last night...the empty lines at Starbucks because there is no more coffee...the bloodshot eyes of a team on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Let's not ruin it for them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anela.3867 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I couldn't sleep and had a migraine this morning from the lack of sleep and excitement. I got to work and asked for 1/2 day off so I can play. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rushed HoT and jumped map to map to map and did not enjoy it. I am in no rush this time. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anninke.7469 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Maybe I should have hired a nanny for the weekend. Now I will have to suffer - hubby will be playing and I probably won't get to it. Haven't even finished LS3 yet, boohoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Just be glad we're not playing one of those MMOs (pretty much any of them) where the update time is when they take the servers offline and then no one can play at all, even the existing content, until they come back online potentially hours later. Oh and any patches will require taking the servers offline again for a few hours.The 'annoyance' of logging out, updating and going back in seems trivial when you've been playing a game where the update hits and everyone gets kicked out and told to come back in 4 hours to see if the servers are online yet.(I do keep wondering why other games don't use the same tech GW2 does to update with the servers online, but apparently it's not that simple.)Edit: Ok, it's got to be done, can't resist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patches or fixes drop and all you have to do is logout, download, login and play. The days when I played other games and you never knew how long it was until you actually got to play.....also good one on the vid..wish I'd thought of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really annoys a friend of mine, but I can't help it.Besides I can't make Welcome to the Jungle jokes with this expansion, so I've got to do something.
