Age of Heroes v.99 Game Update 06.28.2011

according to their schedule, the patch should have been done today.

It isn't the 29th until 2 hours after the patch starts. Their schedule WOULD be wrong if it was the end date in the title, but it isn't.

I'm actually surprised (and extremely happy) the patch will be ready ON the 29th. Most of their patches are during the night of the date they say.
This gives me a day to attempt Empress before I have to leave, so Nexon finally did something right* for once!

*something right : did something in my favor

Now you just have to cross those fingers and hope they will finish the extensions within the 29th.

**Update!** Some updates are taking longer than expected, so the maintenance time has been extended. We now expect to complete the game update at 8:00 AM Pacific (11:00 AM Eastern.) We thank you for your patience.

lol they had like 3 days to test the update out on a test client. And they still manage to extend it.

Oh god 3 days! To a chronic pot smoker that's almost like 72 hours!

...That isn't very long to guarantee no extensions. o.o

Well all I'm saying is that they released a patch to the public 3 days before they actually go down for the update. Couldn't they just test out the update on a test server first? And then give us the appropriate length?

There's nothing wrong with the data which is why they can give it out so early. The extensions are just due to implementation delays, which are different not to mention unpredictable.

They uploaded the patch 3 days early with "known issues" in it, too, instead of trying to resolve them during this time. Some of these issues are mere text, that could be edited in a couple of minutes.
Guess they just all went on vacation or something for the past 3 days, to prepare for the undoubtedly busy weekend of emergency patches we know we're going to have.
*shrug* It's Nexon, what do you expect?

EDIT: oh wait already posted.. anyways.. expect as usual

LOL

Gotta love how, patch extensions or no, at 6AM on the dot, the Event notices go up, complete with "Buy NX Now!"

And there goes my chance to play today.
Oh well, can't say I expected this. (:

Hmmmm, it's scheduled to end now for 8am PST (+9h = CET) = 17:00h Western European Time, the day isn't over yet m8! :+)

I find it sad when people complain about extensions..

all these years later and people still complain about extensions.

Well, nexon states a time that it'll be done. Having set a track record of extends doesn't change the fact that they likely weren't forthcoming with their prediction of when the servers would be back up. That said, anyone that uses their head would know that extensions on any patch that has any worthwhile content are not an if but a when.

I was mainly complaining more on the fact that they seemingly didn't use extra time wisely. I mean for all I know, they may have had patches ready several days before the servers go down for every update.

**Update 2!** We are still resolving some issues with the game update. We now expect to complete the update at 11:00 AM Pacific (2:00 PM Eastern.) Thank you for your continued patience.

Updating content and making sure it meshes well isn't as easy as it sounds. For all we know NEXON is running around freely and say whenever a f/p mage uses paralyze the game crashes for everyone and something like that happens. Strange pomegranate can happen both implementing and after implementing. It's all unpredictable. The problem could be as simple as the patch won't load for people.

Well that's allready more extention time than Big Bang, let's see how long this goes on.
