Why would you mention might be free respecs before you were sure? Just makes me laugh. Risk vs Reward of mention.
Risk: you have to roll your comment back and put emphasis on "I said I was checking" resulting in random feelings of disappointment.
vs
Reward: Basically none. Same reward/payoff if you waited until *after* you confirmed and then posted the free respec info.
Anyway. Just a random thought when I read your post
I was expecting today's patch/maintenance to be extended, so not surprised they're still down.
Hope you Devs aren't having to much fun trying to sort it out
One day a developer will adhere to the Scotty Principle and there will be much rejoicing.
Scotty Principle
(n.) The defacto gold star standard for delivering products and/or services within a projected timeframe. Derived from the original Star Trek series wherein Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott consistently made the seemingly impossible happen just in time to save the crew of the Enterprise from disaster.
The premise is simple:
1) Caluculate average required time for completion of given task.
2) Depending on importance of task, add 25-50% additional time to original estimate.
3) Report and commit to inflated time estimate with superiors, clients, etc.
4) Under optimal conditions the task is completed closer to the original time estimate vs. the inflated delivery time expected by those waiting
Is the patch notes final? As in what's being put into live? I've noticed transcended master (CW) is 25% cap on preview right now and it's only 10% in the notes along with some other CW related things.

Extended?

You wish has been granted.
