When are you gonna learn to actually plan things GGG. So dissappointed. They made a mistake in scheduling. While it sucks for those who race, a little forgiveness goes a long way. Regardless, I've learned not to schedule my free time according to any game. Downtime, updates, and other issues always have the potential to completely destroy even the best of plans. He has a point, I work 11-8 I knew for the last 2 months this race was 4pm and I needed to take a half day off of work, in order to to that I had to work an extra hour each day this week. I find out now (Thurs?) that it was all for nothing, as now its pushed later. I'd rather this then 3 hours -earlier- but either way its poor planning to change the most hyped race of the league. And not to be rude, but during season racing I plan my free-time, flex time, and social time around races. Now sunday I can't go out for dinner as this race goes til 7pm, and then the other races of course got pushed forward too. Love racing, but stick to time schedule. Either release patch notes 3 hours early, or just release them and who cares if people don't read them, not everyone races. Especially not new people your trying to attract with press releases. If a noob joins an 8 mod Flashback race they'll probably never return. You do realise that the patch is out 9am NZT on a saturday? That means that the developers have to be in the office for that time... to bring it forward 3 hours that would require the developers to be at work at 6am on a weekend...

POE doesn't revolve around eu players, GGG does what is best for their game and their players equally, yeah maybe it is bad for some players but for others it isn't. With such a large player base they can't please everyone at the same time, just be thankful they are even offering this race, patience and understanding is a virtue.

Please release the patch already, it's less than 3 hour now before the race start. Not everyone is having fast connection. I Believe I Can Fly ~~~~	Posted by dda550 on Aug 12, 2016, 4:10:15 PM Quote this Post
" Czarevna wrote: GGG: I think it would be a good idea (for the health, safety and well-being of your players) to make only half of the 48 hours count for the race. 12 hours of consecutive play count, 12 hours don't count - (do this twice.) Means: -Players of different time zones can easily participate. (Start when they want.) -Players could get some sleep without fearing rest "makes them lose." Players die at tournaments by taking drugs to stay awake that long, and you know some will try that. Please think of health and safety. +1 for health and safety!

with a new patch there will be new bugs ... is it not better to do patches at the beggining of a week not at the end ? so devs would have some free time during weekend? good luck racers! PS: Please die a lot! thanks :P	Posted by FriskySteve on Aug 12, 2016, 4:47:06 PM Quote this Post
" with a new patch there will be new bugs ... is it not better to do patches at the beggining of a week not at the end ? so devs would have some free time during weekend? Yeah, I'd agree in general. But perhaps GGG knows their preferred time better than we do. ;-) ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▒▒▒▒░░░░░ cipher_nemo ░░░░░▒▒▒▒ │ Waggro Level: ♠○○○○ │ 1244 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀	Posted by cipher_nemo on Aug 12, 2016, 4:48:49 PM Quote this Post
