    Vote Kicks are not allowed when items of Rare quality or greater are on the ground.

    For a cleaner dungeon plz loot all blue <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> on your way to the boss or you cant kick the disconnected player, smart move.^^

    What about a rare item left in a part of the dungeon, you cant return to? Wait 5-10 minutes for despawn (I dont know how long it takes) or redoe the dungeon/ skirmish.

    The changes are well intended, but they show, that Devs either dont play their own game or cant think one step ahead.

    [Combat (Self)] Hexer deals 111010 (93778) Force Damage to you with Hex.

    With damage like this still around (non-telegraphed, no-red-zone attack), I'm leaning toward "don't play their own game".

    Oh, yeah -- riddle me this, Batman: why is the number not in parentheses larger?

    Well, it shows they are doing something... but I believe the management has the mindset that, all previous Mods are what they are and no changes will come to them any time soon.
    1.) DR will be laggy for the life of this game,
    2.) Dungeons, well you have 3 and I guess we have to accept that there will be ONLY 3, and those will be unplayable for a large group of the playerbase.
    3.) Your hopes to ever be a "EPIC HERO" are gone, accept it, you will, and always be a "Mediocre" player until you pour Lots of your paycheck into the game, and I mean LOTS.
    4.) WoD is a waste of space for a good majory as the Lag and toughness of even the smallest mobs make it no fun to even play, not to mention the Dragon Harolds are undoable for most and the rewards are not worth the effort.
    5.) The mobs are and will always be the EPIC ones on the map, they hit harder, and survive longer then you can hope to ( for those that do not spend their paychecks). Accept the fact.

    So now it is all about Strongholds... can only imaging the mess this will turn out to be.

    Really? 5 minutes early, lol. Oh well i was done for the moment anyway.

    I wasn't. What is the point of announcing a downtime if you're going to go early? If you announce servers are going down in 5 minutes at least give people 5 minutes before booting everyone.

    Nice to see that there are some not-Stronghold related patches and I'm really happy to see the profession bag space and maximum number of companion slots increased.

    But I wonder, why they increased the latter only for such a small number... o.O (or do they plan to stop creating new companions after Stronghold?)

    Perhaps I'm not playing every single time they patch? Typically they patch on Thursdays and I'm normally at work then. But sure blame the victim! How about putting it back on them to learn how to tell time.

    Either way, much bigger fish to fry than maintenance starting 5 minutes earlier than listed.

    Earlier I was able to patch one of the computers I use. Since the maintenance was exteneded, I decided to patch the other. Now all the patcher is showing is "Loading. Please wait." I thought it was that computer, so I went back to the computer I had already patched and it is saying the same thing. Anyone else getting this?

    *No I did not prepatch on either computer and closed the launcher when it would start before. This is because usually I had to patch again anyway.

    Why is it extended when you said that everything was going smooth on the live stream?

    I understand, but then he shouldn't have said that everything was fine and going on schedule during Live Stream.

    Just because its going well doesn't mean its taking the amount of time expected.

    It probably was fine and on schedule at the time he made that comment on the live stream but five minutes later they could have come across a problem which set them back. That's the way these things work :)

    Probably because it was. Livestream was over when the extension was announced (or at the very least, Strumslinger didn't know anything was going wrong - as if HE personally runs the actual updates. LOL)

    If downtime is 4 hours expect it to be 6, if it is 2 hours expect atleast 3. Usually add about 50% to it and you have the right time.

    New target is 7pm UK time. Listen out for the gentle "whoosh" sound as maintenance overshoots it hehe

    Hmn thought it finished 6pm for me, guess its 7pm. Or, *gasp* it's like every other expansion and will be down for several more hours than predicted.

    Hopefully its back online before I have to sleep ^^

    It was going well until the server asked him to insert floppy disc #5. He only had 4 of them....
