Is it going to be a midnight release for some timezone? You can bet I'll be sitting here at my computer counting down the freakin' minutes...

    I haven't seen a 'time of day' announcement, but my guess is somewhere mid-morning, Pacific Standard Time. Hoping it's 12:01 am GMT (the earliest possible moments of 28 November), but I would be very surpised if that is what happens.

    1PM MDT, which equates to around 19:00 in the UK.

    Mountain time is -7 so its actually 8pm in the UK. (Sorry to be the bearer of bad news).

    How could it be that 12:01am GMT is the earliest possible moment of 28 November when I'm currently sitting here with the time being 12:44am on the 28th? already :)

    Not all timezones are -x hours GMT. Half are ahead :) Mine is currently +10.5 with daylight savings.

    Google "Trent Oster twitter" his twitter account will note it probably maybe ten or so hours ago (maybe more can't remember).

    So it does. Good catch.

    This is what is on the twitter feed.
    "Trent Oster ‏
    Plan is to set #bgee live on Beamdog at 1:00 pm MDT. We have a four martini lunch and then we start pushing bits."

    @shiny006 We are GMT -6, so I ... haven't got a clue. Too many days of late night have blown my ability to figure out time zones.

    Sounds like Trent needed to get some sleep and rest there :)

    Can we play now? :P

    Bad math on my part. In my defense, it is still ungodly early for me. We would want 12:01 am just west of the international date line

    *sigh* They should simply unlock at the proper times in relation to your timezone. Damn devs, all of them do this.

    "Your game finally unlocked, grats! Oh, it's your bedtime already? Well, too bad... for you."

    We've actually been playing this entire time. The 28th release date at 1pm was all an elaborate scheme to decieve you into waiting. It was all for the lulz.

    And bacon.

    I'm in FL, USA. That will make it, ummm, 3PM I think when us Floridians can start playing the epic goodness. Tomorrow afternoon will mark the start of me melting into my computer chair until I eventually disappear all together through a dimensional portal to the Forgotten Realms. The wife is going to go nuts looking for me....LoL.

    so, to make sure i have this right, on nov 28th at 1 p.m. mountain time, we'll be able to start to download the remaining files from the preload? that kinda sucks as ehhhhh, i work on 3rd and was hoping to download it while i was at work tonight after midnight so i could play for a few mins after i get home from work tomorrow.

    Is that right though? tomorrow at 1 pm?

    10 pm here in Finland. Luckily, I don't have bedtime, and no important lectures next day.
  • TurelusTurelus Member Posts: 23
    Damnit, I was hoping I would be able to wake up and play tomorrow morning.
    If those times are true looks like us UK players will be waiting all day to play.

    why are the black pits a seperate thing... shouldn't they be accessible from within the game?

    They have always been billed as a standalone.

    i'm actually okay with this. although i guess it would have been better to be download it in the morning when i'm out at work and play when i get home.

    thinking about it, i bet that the download won't be done till like midnight and i can't play it friday evening or the weekend

    i withdraw my initial comment...that sucks :(
