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!
Your the only one thats dissapointed about this.

We've also narrowed down a deployment window for 0.11.0: the afternoon of Wednesday June 5, Pacific Time.
Please note that the above time is a day later than the Wednesday (NZ Time) that we previously mentioned.
Oh yeah. The level of deception here is monumental.

How many hours for the patch?
I am lost with so many time zones...
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.

Btw, I completely did NOT care/worry about the delay.
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)".
thx alot for this :P time for 5-8hr nap then

Just take your time. Better to make good right away than fix it afterwards.
Nothing's more annoying than people who post their OWN gear on SELLING forums. NO-ONE is going to find you upgrades!

cant they create a "race event" that says patch release (ofc if they have to delay it they can change that time,it is just that we get an idea when they plan to deploy it in our timezone)
asking every day in this thread is kind anoying (not everyone sees it)
but thx to all ppl who who said who long it will take (it it goes like they planed)

So, as a european, if you're having your head on a shaft so to speak! then you will think "Ah, I was hoping for the patch to come sometime on the night between tuesday and wednesday, though, as I can see here, it says pacific time, and that means like US west, and US is behind us by like 5-9 hours, so this means... Hm 3pm US west time wednesday ~= midnight EU wednesday! Very well, a day's delay."
