Updated 0.11.0 Patch Notes and Deployment Schedule

Really looking forward to this giant patch.
Will be really good with desynch fixes and rebalancing of the game as a whole.
More or less counting down at work :)

I like the current minimalist aura effect. If you are considering to bring back the pimped up ones, then at least make it an option to choose which version you want.


I second that, I wouldn't even mind to tune down effects even more (as option, sometime pretty is good). It is probably me, but I cannot seem to locate Piety for example with just my flame sentinels spamming fireballs (and chaining).

I dont like the way you handled the announcement of when the update will take place:
First you say June 5, NZ Time and later June 5, Pacific Time.
Like that you were able to keep the estimated date while actually delaying the patch by one day.

My problem with this is not that it's a day later (you never said the estimated date was certain anyways) but that in order to make it look like you didn't change that date you were using different timezones with a difference of 19 hours.

Therefore while my first impression was "Great, they are really able to deliver the patch without any delays", now i feel kind of tricked...

Mostly though, i'm quite disappointed because i didn't realize the difference between the time zones until today and therefore i was looking forward to play the new version today.
(To be honest, i didn't know that pacific time is not the same as NZ time until i checked that earlier today when i realized there was no patch. For american and NZ players this difference might be clear at first sight but i live in europe and i didn't think much about other time zones except for EST (Kripps Stream times were announced in EST) and for obvious reasons NZ time and i wasn't even sure if NZ time is the actual name of the time zone. So for me, the conclusion that pacific time might be just another name for NZ time wasn't that far off as New Zealand borders the pacific...)

tl;dr
By playing with the different time zones like that, you probably wanted to make it look like you were sticking to the first date you announced (which i didn't even expect) but in the end you only made me get disappointed (and probably i'm not the only one).
This was just so unnecessary!

How many hours for the patch?
I am lost with so many time zones...
yes, sometimes it is really annoying to check which impact a given date would have to your own timezone; the race timer was made able to handle this (showing all times based on your location), but there's still no way to handle this with patches too...

I still suggest to give us a clear post that a patch is applied "now".

Btw, I completely did NOT care/worry about the delay.

Right now it's 3:47 Pacific Time, the launch is announced to be in the afternoon, so around 12 hours i guess.
In New Zealand it's 22:47, so i guess that they are planning to start with the patch sometime in the morning, spoken in their own time.

I guess that 12+/- hours should be quite realistic, as that would mean 16:00+/- in Pacific time, which is afternoon, and 11:00+/- in NZ time which would mean that, if they start work at 8am, they would have like 3 hours to deploy the patch until then.
It might be a few hours earlier or later of course.

My problem wasn't with the actual delay either. Sometimes you just can't predict how long exactly things will take.
I just think they should have made it more clear that there actually is a delay of one day instead of saying "probably June 5 (NZ time)" and later "Yup, it's really June 5 (Pacific time)".
