I'm using the down time to refit my mech with an onboard drinks optic and toilet..  Using body waste to convert its bio-mass to usable energy to power some new air-conditioning and other additional internals.  Gets hot and sweaty in these things.  I have my little dancing / nodding dashboard gonk.   I know regulations state mech suits should be worn whilst on patrol, but I prefer go into battle just wearing my long john under garments.  I like to feel free as possible whilst enclosed in a metal alloy box.

In other words, you pick a release date before actually knowing if the patch will be ready/tested_

Strange how I said none of those words.

When we announce a game update outage, it means the patch is ready to ship barring any surprises. This morning we found a surprise but managed to address it without changing the outage window.

Magical how that works, huh_ Sometimes I wonder if people have ever stepped into any kind of workplace (or out into the world even).

Scheduling happens long before an event and is successful when the event ends; however, scheduling can adapt to the situation at hand. It wouldn't be a schedule if it couldn't... that's part of it's definition.

Worry not people, there is a process to all things and all things have a process. It's not like these guys just rolled out of bed this morning and decided "I'm gonna patch some stuff today!" They have probably planned out the next 3 or 4 patches already and will roll with any punches that the code might throw at them.

UPDATE: Today's outage will be extended by 30 minutes to address a login issue players are experiencing. A second patch will be available when the outage lifts at about 5:30 PM PDT (GMT-7).

Yep, the server status bar has been updated to match.

When the launcher goes full screen,  do we need to always retype the password.  Mine is very long with mixed characters,  and there does not appear to be a paste in allowed Ctrl+V
