on the streaming issue. could they have been streaming it to use little by little over the course of the last few weeks? the 'big' update just being to make it accessable? this would be very cool and would almost eliminate a long loading time...

i really need to be ill tomorrow... i have a recipe for this somewhere....

It is currently 6am in the Pacific Time Zone. If they plan to release it "in the evening" and in this time zone I would assume they mean 10-12 hours from now.

If it does come out at 7pm EST, thats 12:00am GMT, so everyone except for the americas will be getting it on the 8th.

I just hope Anet will do whatever they can to reduce the lag. The pvpx weekend was a total pain with regard to latency/Err=7.
I can imagine half of the GW population flooding in the direction of sorrows furnace.

Yes, just after the work/school day starts....

Unfortunatly, I forgot I'm dealing with Americans and figured that they'd have plans on releasing it INTERNATIONALLY on the 7th.. not the 8th as the case is for anyone down under.

they have to straem in into you so you will see an update when you log in. then yo will know it has been released. i do not expect it until at least 6-7 PM central time this evening. (that is the time they have done most updates)

BTW: If you kneel at that monument and talk to the ghost, for 100g you cant get rid of any DP you may have gotten on the way there.

Yeh thats where i reckon it'l be. But isn't it kinda odd that it's released in the evening of the 7th which is i guess, prime time for the American servers as its the evening... but for the other server, Europe it will be 1 AM or 2 AM depending on GMT or CET. Shouldn't it be released to accomodate everyone?

Not that it really matters anyway just seems a weird way to do things.

well Anet is an american company based on the west coast so i guess it makes sense for them to realease it at the end of the business day there.

makes sense to me anyway

OMG I FOUND IT!!!! you need to exit Maguuma Stade from the southern exit and walk directly east 27 paces, then south 32 paces, then /dance /jump /rock /dance. Then you need to stop dancing and go 32 paces north and 27 paces west and you're there.

have fun all

Just to screw you lot up a bit more, I'd like to tell you all that britain is actually on GMT+1 just now and most of Europe is on GMT+2.

So if it's 7pm in california, it's 3am UK, 4am Europe

just to let you know ... that statue of grenth lets you into the underworld ... just like every other statue across the land ... not just in Temple of Ages.

I have speculations on a few places where it may be ... this is one of them ... another is frozen forest. Either way ... I was ready last night ... packed my bags ... got some new dye and prepared to set sail.

Also ... in case anyone here failed to read the 3 page report on IGN of the preview ... its not from a statue ... its a Big Creator sized man made hole in Shiverpeaks.

ArenaNet is American. While ANet is a part of NCSoft, ANet is a very tight-knit, separate entity, with pretty much free rein on developing Guild Wars. Their office is in Washington state, so remember to use pacific standard time.

Well if they made it harder than UW then it will go from fun and challenging to just ludicrous nonsense.

Read the IGN post and you will see that even a team of devs and the IGN players, they had a high DP ranging 60 at all times. With Deaths left and Right.

I find it natural since this seems like the Stone Summit's base of operations, so no free cookie for you (this will root out the simple thinkers we call jerks and noobs)

although it will be a map ... not from the statue ... I pressume they will have a map area (white star) open up there when the update arrives.

Off Topic:

UW is simple.
Have your Ele bring Glyph of Concentration and Maelstroem and let your tanks keep the aggro. And as a sidenote, the riders accompanied by lords will NOT spawn mindblade Spectre. And about the bonepits, uhm where is the problem there?
The Bone thingies are really vulnerable to everything ^^
/edit:
But i admit, we're bringing one smiter and one spiter with us. Making a lot of UW like a cake.
