Expected downtime for 4.2?

[chameleon]

Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has any idea what the downtime will be after patch 4.2?

I'm no computer whizz so I don't know the complexities of what will be added this patch but I will be desperate to farm honor points for new vicious gear

Any kind of estimate would be great, I know you can't set it in stone

in the past it has ranged from hours to day or two, in the past a rushed release also meant bugs that made the release inoperable anyway... just try remain patient n dont spam forums with "do we have an eta" threads or posts and the general more appreciative forum population will love you bit more.

try maxing your honor before patch, and do arenas for pts so that converts to honor for your use upon login.

Oh i'm fully capped in HP and JP but still that will only get me 6500 honor so about 4 or 5 pcs of 1250 vicious gear and i want to be full vicious asap so i dont lose out on the cp capping!

I've been around for years so I know these things will take time but surely the devs know if this is gonna be a big one i.e cataclysm release or barely a blip on the radar

You will be informed about the downtime

How are you able to have 6500 honor?

Like he said, full honor ?nd justice capped. So he exchanges his JP for honor after using his initial 4K honor cap. You can do this at a vendor standing near the honor quartermaster

i'd say 1 day for gb1;

2 days, maybe 3 for hb2 - assuming nothing stupid happens

(going off of records from the past)

Yea but in the Past there were only GB and HB....

When I see when the last working Release for HB was (without Test) i Say 1-2 Weeks

 

[15outland]

I'm not sure what's going on here

Ahh, so can HB2 be used once 4.2 is released?

Ah yes, havent played in a while

America gets the patch tomorrow, correct? And you probably fix gatherbuddy by the time the patch hits Europe. Sounds good!

I heard from a bud that they are removing click to move from the game.

I wonder how that is going to affect the downtime for HB unless they are already on the ball with changing how it moves our characters.

 

[Runawaycoder]

Not click to move that they are removing. They decided to do away with the "move pad" which was a click to move interface in 4.2.

Oh, I just went over the patch notes and all I could find was that they were adding the move pad but couldn't find anything about removing click to move.

Tuesday is patch day for USA
Wednesday is patch day for Europe.
They wont even look at fixing HB until patch hits Europe, they never-ever have in the past at least, so people on the other side of the Atlantic will automatically lose a day botting. Not a big deal since it's the same every patch. This is of course if patch does get released tomorrow.


p.s. yes of course i realize they DO look at it after patch hits USA, at least i would hope they do. Just don't expect a release until after it hits Europe.

3-4 days according to past releases

is it guranteed that warden will update tommorow and hb wont work or is it just an update for quests
