yeah i got 4 hours sleep last night, im trying my best not to be cranky or sarcastic and mean to everybody and anybody.

The most annoying bit was the 2 hour period where City of Heroes/Villains was down for scheduled maintenence, I had nothing to do!

Hmmm, what an embarassing moment for Anet. Announcing a "world" event that crashes and burns before seeing the light of day.

BTW, this is just one more reason why the halloween event should be cancelled. If Anet can't handled one item on their platter. what would make anyone think they could handle two.

Anyway, at least the dev's spent some quality time getting the henchies to dance, couldn't have lived without that.

I literally have nothing to do though, lol. I don't have a guild to tend to, I can't find a good one. All my characters don't need missions, and I'm not going to farm, I don't do PUG's. So yep............... I'm just waiting here.

Ya, I got only 5 hours sleep on this end as well.

Now I am just hoping this gets fixed. I don't care about the time anymore.

Did you consider reading the start of the thread?

Basically:

ANet found a problem.
ANet wanted to fix problem before event started.
Event start thus delayed.
ANet currently working on problem.
Gaile Gray says they're getting "close" to fixing it and releasing a new build.
Then we can play.

The more you get, the less you tolerate errors. What a wonderful way to think...

Remember that they are using unique system to run the game in their servers so "beta" errors are obvious. Of course, that is not a valid reason. What would be? It seems, there is no valid reasons at all to anything.

the notice stated that it wouldn't be fixed before 12gmt not that it would start at 12gmt.so could be any time from now to the next millenium.

Is there a valid reason for your assurance that there are no valid reasons to anything?

Same here! If the preview goes live at 1am (here) then I'll create my character (which'll take half an hour) and then go to sleep.

Here's an update: you aren't gonna play now since you keep bugging them.

On a more serious note, It's a high probability that they will boost the event hours to compensate for this loss. I wouldn't get my hopes up though.

Anyone know if the pre-order extra character slot will be available once NF preview is open?
