There was a Tweet about it and I'm sure 2.4 is live tomorrow , at least for U.S
Yes, but still I am waiting for complete patch notes with information about instalation... less then 24 hours before release is for me little bit strange...
dont they always release patches on a tuesday though?
Unless your from EU then you get screwed over, we also get season more early i believe giving us less time to test out things, although some dont really care.
If the patch does not drop tomorrow then I am convinced it is because the dev team is under serious pressure as they try to resolve some outstanding bugs and/or issues.
Which is not that surprising, this patch is the biggest they have done and I'm led to believe there were a number of outstanding problems still evident on the final version of the PTR. As a developer myself, I know how horrible it can be when management set a timeframe for production delivery and you find yourself burning huge amounts of time just trying to track down fix and test a nasty bug. Cleaning up problems can be a massive time sync and the weeks and days leading up to launch can take years off your life because of intense stress.
Guess I'm just saying, we should try to cut them a bit of a break if for some reason it slips a little. I do suspect that the season will start on time, and that if worse comes to worse, they will go live with known bugs (assuming they don't view them as show stoppers).
ps. I am kind of curious as to what development methodology they adopt. These days, "Agile" is taking the world by storm, but it can lead to a very volatile work environment. One of the things about Agile though, is that features can be dropped and de-scoped, normally on a weekly basis. That does not fit very well with a product where all the new features have already been so well publicized.
Where is blue post announcing 2.4. patch release tomorrow? What is going on?
