New Users: After the patch drops, Buddy Wing will not function until updated. Please be patient. Users can check Buddy Updates for a version number higher than 1239.750 to determine if the update is ready. Please note, this is a new expansion and its expected to have a lot of changes, which Aevitas has to sort out. So expect a longer downtime then usual (Aevitas will keep you updated on this matter).

When available, patch notes can be found here: Patch 4.0a

This one may hurt a little.

Oh I know bud, this is a huge one, servers must be offline now, Im at work but had the bot do its thing.

Who know man, this might even be a turningpoint, as in it gives us more option, easyer for you to ***** etc.

Positive thoughts buddy

Cheers // Kabeewm!

Take your time

Take your time

You know that someone will be in here within an hour, or two, of the servers coming back up wondering when they will be done. Give it a day and they will be yelling and complaining. It's on a script at this point. /sigh

Oh I know, lets hope there are enough levelheaded people around to smack them down

The first person that comes in complaining that they're a customer so they're entitled to hourly updates gets a beatdown.

If only it was the case that more devs working on it = quicker patching process. Experience has taught me that it generally extends patching processes when you throw more bodies at these types of things, especially if the additional temps are not 100% familiar with what they are working with.

Only course of action is patience. Which is a shame, I only found out DefaultCombat apparently is supporting a healing routine now (at least for sorc/sage), which I've been wanting to use for ages now.

wtf, bot is not working!! Fiiiiixxxx, what da f.... (kidding lol).

Many changes to this expansion...is like swtor "realm reborn"...Time to play manual for a while hehe

...is like swtor "realm reborn"...

Jump on reddit and this is pretty much the feeling from this expac so far. Be interesting to see what the content is like (I have to wait till next week). They're all hailing it as the MMO of the future. Slight bias I'd say. I still think their E3 cinematic for it was the best animated short I've seen in a bloody long time though, so the story obviously has the right vibe.

The CGI was very good, sadly once ingame, it looks more 'gamey'.
Hell Story is awesome so far, way better then all the expacs so far.
Sadly thow, Bioware is still sloppy in terms of bugs and glitches.
For instance in Chapter I, your companions fly away with your ship, then your character walks away from the airlock, and your ship is still there.
Or capes of Knights that still clip through everything. Some People online report heavy FPS drops.
Still good expac

But so far, ive seen new quest accept windows, new planets to mesh (for story at least).

What is this "play manual" you speak of, such witchcraftery is not allowed!

If the game was released like this, they would never had to go f2p..its only problem now is the engine that is built on..but that is more trouble for the devs, than the average player..

haha, I mean...the 1-10 leveling experience which is..you know, hit 111111 then 2

Just a quick simple question regarding actual thread matter. Is it more like week(s), or month(s)?

I purposefully set my expectations for longer, but I'd be surprised if it's "weeks". No way it's "months". 1+ week is probably a good estimate, and if it's going to be longer than a week I'm sure Aevitas will come let us know.

Are you also working in the default combat routine? Not major changes in classes, but some abilities change their name (Master Strike to Blade Dance for example). Can we expect Default combat be also ready when bot updates?

Read from post #648 @ DefaultCombat discussion and everything becomes clear!

Oh thanks, didnt notice Nice.

"Don't be that guy",,,, Just wanted to see if anyone has heard something on the progress of updating the bot for 4.0? Anyone? Thanks for the devs hard work as usual
