Just figured I'd post what Regina said in Shing Jea Dis 1 just now.

Is that mean, that content update is on next thursday? She mentioned about anniversary stuff, and nothing about content.

I take it as a good sign. The cupcakes and boardwalk have been done for years so the "finishing touches" they are working on must be the new stuff.

Honestly that didn't clear anything up, not for me. Don't really care about cupcakes, there's plenty of time for raptor beating, what about the content update? It's still unknown if it's today, or the next week.

Give ArenaNet the time they need to finish up. They probably have all the "grunts" there baking millions of cakes!

Oh? I would suppose the opposite. They've done decorations and boardwalk openings plenty of times before.

It sure would be great if Regina poped in here and could tell us if the content update is today or not, they know that by now already.

I'm getting the feeling that they want to release part or all of the update with the decorations, and since they said the cupcakes etc.. will be dropping with the decorations, I'm assuming that they want to finish up the final touches on some new part of the update before anything starts ;p

this is quite expected, a new live team that has only been working on the game for about a year has slightly delayed a deadline.

The old live team was even worse if anyone remembers that, and quite possibly they are the ones that will be f'ing up GW2 updates when we get that game in 24 years. Patience is a virtue and most of the guild wars gamers lack any sort of it. Take a hit pass it around and we'll all get high.

It's, she said,

"I heard you like waiting and delaying of updates, so I put some waiting and delaying in your updates so you can wait on the waiting and delaying of the updates while you wait for the waiting and delaying of the updates."

If this was the big update, she wouldn't say we'd be getting "cupcakes and boardwalk, etc", but the "major content update"...

cupckaes boardwalk, = wait until tomorrow at noon pacific time,

go QQ more homies

it is kind of sad though,

creative people with bosses that have no clue what creativity is, results in almost impossible deadlines.

the crew you guys like to bitch at isn't at fault, their bosses that watch bottom line and exploit workers are!!!!!!

yeah it didnt happen and i was sort of dissapointed but now i can't help but laugh at how serious some people get about this. THink about it yeah they said so and the update didnt happen but why get all fussed about virtual cake?
Find something else to do .... or keep playin the game normally?

K im off to bed, i'll like to see how this sorts itself out 2morrow.
also i think they'll do the whole bday update excluding the tabs, managerie all at once and do the appropriate days, but maybe thye'll actually say sorry by giving us the broadwalk at the exact same time cakes drop.

MEANWHILE in shing jea monastary: Citizens of tyria are revolting ...pure carnage...........all we know is.....the cake was a LIE!...one small joke gone too far

It really is too bad that they won't come right out and say "wait another day" or something, so we can all breathe again.

That being said, I still remain optimistic that we might see the full shebang within an hour or two, after all, its not even 5:00 PST yet

Okay guys. When did the HM update come out? When did the updates that were as big or big but not as big, come out before and after that? Yes that's right 6 pm PST usually.

What? There is an ArenaNet Europe offices there. But I'm pretty sure that the main offices are in America. So the updates go live when the America offices finish them. Your comment still made little sense considering the post I quoted was one from that user quoting another member who had said that their day was over.

but you've been a member since 2005 so don't QQ you know everything's done in PST
WOW WTF! Do you people READ the thread? Please refer to what was said above to clarify what I was talking about in the quote. I don't even LIVE in Europe, I am in CST. So don't give me this QQ crap as I was doing none of that.

Now no more crap about me QQ'ing or stuff about Europe offices. I was simply telling Kakumei that there are more timezones outside of America and the day in Europe is over.

If you guys look at the GW title screen, there is a new thing up there about character's logging in which might shed some light on if there is going to be a big update or not. Could be, couldn't be who knows, maybe they are just fixing the title screen.


EDIT: Ark was damn amazing, too bad it only did 9,999 damage. That was definitely a 20-40k damage attack.

lol Anet is NEVER ready for what they plan

its pretty ridiculous for shit to finally get started with only a few hours left of its supposed release date

ArenaNet is in America. The guy I quoted said that "it didn't happen" when that's not at all true, hence my post.

What I find funny is when the update does get here, then everyone will change gears from bitching about it to not being out, to bitching about the update itself. Good times!

Technically it is true for him. If he lives in Europe, say Germany, it is about 1am on April 24th there, so for him the 23rd is over and the update did not come on the 23rd as stated by the website. But yes the website is done in America so it will come on the 23rd for us in the USA. So for him it really didn't happen on the 23rd.

Give these poor people a break - we get it when we get it, seriously doubt it's a case of the more fuss we make the quicker it will be. I'd rather wait and not have bugs or mistakes than an attitude of ok that will do for now.

I noticed that too, something like that doesn't make sense to happen if all they're doing is put up decorations unless it's some weird bug. Brought my hopes as far as seeing the update today perhaps with some surprises in there.
