I'm sure some ppl on American planned to pull an all-nighter, but most didn't. We've still got the rest of the day here. Anyway, said my piece on this. I sympathize more with those on European servers than American at the moment. YMMV.

Frankly, no, you shouldn't. Whoever is updating their website is very optimistic. When people start posting here that they're in (and provide new screen caps), then you should start believing that the event has started (somewhere).

OMG even I'm annoyed with all the bickering here, Don't you think ANEt Tech crew is working there asses off rigth now? They are manually sending the fiels to each server, granted that could technically be done at the push of a button, I'm pretty damned sure they coffe has been brewed more then a few times.

This isn't the first time tehre set deadline has been passed, Don't you remeber when all the Tradders got everything reset to 125gp?

He means that the event starts (or doesn't start, lol) and ends for everyone at the same time, regardless of time zones. Everyone is getting 3 days (minus delays) to preview the game. The Europeans haven't "lost" more time than the Americans, is the point he was making to the person he replied to.

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.

Dont forget Factions CE worldwide Delays. Looks like they still havent cleanup their act or learned anything still.

I wonder if Anet will still be bragging about how successful this event blah blah millions of hours logged BS this time again.

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.

The issue at hand for a lot of us is that the whole server should have access to the download, and obviously that isn't the case as some EU players are getting them and some EU players are not. We worry that one of our builds are bugged and that we won't be able to get it, or we will have to re-install. As far as I'm concerned, this is a valid fear.

The game has probably completely come to a halt. It'd be interesting to see how many people are actually playing... and how many are just semi afk'ing, waiting for the update that actually starts the Event.
Just got another one of those Update Messages and it is still nothing. It's getting annoying and i'd consider myself of being a bit more calm about these things.

why cant Anet just admit that they wont be able to get the event running in time for today and just postpone the whole event, instead of wasting our time ?

I did however. Nightfall was supposed to be released at 12 midnight in the US, 7am GMT, meaning that between then and now, the chances are a large majority of US based players would have gone to bed at some point, whereas all EU players would have had the option of a full day to play.

This is the missing time. Your sarcasm was witty, but still formed on the basis of some flawed reasoning.

Anyhoo, this is getting 'somewhat' frustrating. I always enjoy it when much of my time is wasted waiting on a game release or update, and the developers refuse to give anyone a hint as to just how much more time is likely to be wasted waiting for this damned update.

Anet, thanks for your consideration.
