Where is the NotD Event on International Servers ?

[Karian]

<p>Why we havent got the NotD Event on Runnyeye/Splitpaw ? I think were Players of the second Class for SOE <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Could be because the data is part of GU39...

[Kirstie]

Hiya,This isn't really the correct forum for this post, but the NotD events will be turned on as soon as the EU/JP servers get the data for GU39.  Until then we aren't able to activate the event.- K

<p>Considering they have a lot on their minds these days, they patch the servers they prefer to patch first. That is naturally the servers with the same nationality as themselves, ie US servers. I suppose it is a natural thing to do.</p>

Is it SOE's fault that it takes a weekish to translate a patch. (granted the EU English servers dont need to be connected to the french and german and japanese servers but they are but how many of the current employees were there when those servers were made that way?)Is it SOE's fault that  fires started around 2 days before GU 39 was suppose to go live... and they basically had to evacuate their houses and find safe places to be while fires could potentially destroy EVERYTHING that they own?Is it SOE's fault that they are still trying to get back into work now that the fires aren't dangering their families or lives anymore?NO!FAQ:Well how come they are on the forums?Answer: Because theirs internet at their friend's/family's houses.Why cant they add the translation period into the normal cycle?Answer: Well if they were to translate the patch before releasing it anywhere, the patches would move to a 5-6 week cycle which would mean that we would go from about 12 - 13 game updates a year to around  8-10.66 per year... So instead of yall getting the same amount of patches as us, but about a half a week later (excluding this case of course), EVERYONE would get less patches at the same time. So in the end both sides would lose no?But I have a question for you: What do ya'll <u>really</u> lose from having a patch 2 weeks later than us?and @ Retro: what war?

What do you (in plural) lose from waiting on the patch till they can launch it on all? If runnyeye and splitpaw can wait, why cant the US servers wait too on it? And I wonder this as someone playing on a US server myself.

Only difference would be, when the patch is finished, it would not go live until translation is over. During the time they translate it, devs could work on the next patch. Or do you think devs would sit there and do until the translation is over?What is the problem, that all would get the patches at roughly the same time? Because EU servers get it everytime later, normally just a few hours, but still.

<p>It would show alot of dedication if the update comes early next week after these fires. I wouldnt go to work but stay home and take care of things. </p><p>Still, I hope to do the NotD events with all my chars soon <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>/bow Take care at SOE and I hope no one was hurt.</p>

Waaaaay back when, the EU servers *did* get patched at the exact same time the US servers did. The European populace complained and complained and complained until finally SOE started patching the EU servers at a more convenient time for them instead of in the middle of their prime time.So sorry to say, Wingrider01 had it right.

I think lint is refering to teh week delay for the LU due to transtations.. not the 1 day or so delay that happens on every patch.... Its the week delay + lack of comunication + NOTD not going live ( what fun would frostfell be if it happened  lets say in january rather than teh christmas week ? ) ecc ecc ecc.....

<p>I play on Bazaar (US) and Runnyeye (UK) and I haven't noticed much difference between the two servers since LU #39 except the new carpenter recipes (4) and the Night sof the Dead, but then I don't raid so that may be the big issue here. The Night of the Dead is a real dud, it is the same stuff offered two years ago. The new RoK quest is a dud too, at least from Qeynos. You get 5% experience and no loot. Nothing else has affected me and my gameplay but I understand the desire for parity and do sympathize with the UK and European players.</p><p>When we had the big unexpected downtime a few weeks ago the UK server was tied to the US servers and there were lots of complaints. Maybe the current situation is tied to that problem?</p>

Lets leave the "world comments" out of this, this is not a political forum.

<p>Actually your wrong,</p><p>We want the patch to hit the EU servers some hours later then the US servers. During EU  low play times. This has been the case for a long long time. And should not have been changed for neither Runny nor Splitpaw.</p>
