Kalebratha Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Says 8 hours downtime. Just curious if its 1.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuangTzu Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This has already been suggested. And it is unlikely that it will be, it's only been on PTS for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerz Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It's probably patch to fix bugs. Thus, a bug patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I am sure they will market 1.4 in advance since it is content that could make players to subscribe again. I guess that this long update has something to do with the bigger servers that they are testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vankris Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Could be a patch to prepare the server for the implemetation of 1.4, thus making 1.4 next week. Could also be a new world event, preparing the 1.4 Could also be a regular maintenance, wait and see Edited September 17, 2012 by Vankris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeterno Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I wouldn't count on a content update, it's only been 5 weeks since the last event. Next week tho, BWs gotta deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourTwent Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Says 8 hours downtime. Just curious if its 1.4. we typically get an announcement that we're getting a major update, 4 days in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talahar Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 we typically get an announcement that we're getting a major update, 4 days in advance Exactly. Don't worry, OP: subtle stealth patch releases are not a thing with this game. The release will get hyped. And hyped. And hyped. And hyped. We will know EXACTLY that the maintenance that's about to come is the patch day. This one is not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Well, there are bug fixes, server upgrades, etc. And don't forget, they can use this time to lay down the code frame work for new content and enhancements. Not the release of a new content patch, but rather the prep for the release of new content on the server side. It would be nice if there was a nice little surprise in terms of customization, but it is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSevv Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I honestly hope not the actual patch testing time has been very short, I want content of course but I would like working content for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycao Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I don't think so, I mean this is not the biggest patch but with a new operation/gear mh and oh PvP gear and some pretty big class changes I do not see it happening. If it did I would be upset I still need another 1k ranked comms to get so I can obtain the new elite war hero main hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithRex Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm guessing that it's to bring down the high pop testing serveer and do all the forced transfers........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voranis Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This has already been suggested. And it is unlikely that it will be, it's only been on PTS for a week. Apparently you are unfamiliar with the way these WoW-clone dumbed down games are run. Standard ops are to put new content on test for a week, ignore all customer feed back and bug reports, then go live with all bugs/issues intact.

Ansalem Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 though 1.4 has been remarkably low on bugs I think it will be at least another week as they try to balance out the encounters in the new operation. So far they seem slightly easier than they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankyn Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 An extended downtime like that usually means there's some serious behind-the-scenes work going on. It's most likely related to the high capacity servers and transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post AllisonBerryman Posted September 17, 2012 Dev Post Share Posted September 17, 2012 I can confirm that Game Update 1.4 will not be deployed during maintenance tonight; we are continuing testing on the PTS right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andryah Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 So why 8h? You hate eu players? It's probably a pre 1.4 patch for server configuration changes and other prep. Think about it..... they are getting ready to force latent characters on closed servers to destination servers, and it is clear with the transfer test server in the farm that they are supersizing the servers. It makes sense for this to take more effort then just a simple maintenance patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurganNazzir Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 So why 8h? You hate eu players? My thought is they are putting the 'new high population tech' in place, but that's just a guess obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillack Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Bug fixes and the normal stuff we get weekly OP. 1.4 probably won't be soon seeing that it has only been on the PTS for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
