Can't wait! Patch is looking really nice, hopefully 1.19 and beyond doesn't require the same time frame though

[Kurokikaze]

And so it begins... Thats when we find out that dungeons can only be entered once every week.

[Hyan]

Just some bug squashing, nothing to see here folks.

[Niiro]

4-7:30pm est?

Translating military time and crossing time zones is more confusing that it should be for me.

[YukonWildAss]

You are correct!

[Corrderio]

Think it's 5:00-8:30 EST

[Lucavi]

Man, all the pre-patch buildup has me thinking back to how hype we all were with each new version of Alpha/Beta. I miss those days of excitement.

Oops, that's right. I was thinking central time.

You shouldn't mention that, seeing as every time was such a disappointment

[oldoldman]

So I guess we don't get the comprehensive list of changes all in one place til the 21st? I hate digging through 20 announcements.

S-E always releases patch notes during maints or just before/after.

Yes and they usually have much more sauce.

Seems to be every five minutes according to the la francois rep!

For 1.18, we’ve decided to get rid of the fatigue system

Sold. I've been playing actively every day after work and this is 1 of 2 things I despised. (the other thing was market wards) I have fatigued 3 classes and ofc my P.rank and I wasn't trying to "rush". I had been crafting and gathering to break it up, I work 40 hours a week and I consider myself as a casual player (4 hours a day). So glad they are getting rid of it, I think a lot of "hardcore" players will enjoy seeing their class progress faster.

[euph]

my body is ready

[Cichy]

my pitchfork and my torch are ready also

[Gokulo]

It's gonna be after 3am here when maint ends so no way I'm staying up for that but I hope they release patch notes early so I can at least read that before going to sleep!

[Kurokikaze]

I would like to request a moment of silence for our departed friends Stamina Bar and Fatigue System.

....

FUCK YOU AND I WISH AIDS UPON YOUR CREATOR.

Edit: Let the F5ing begin...

I imagine Yoshi-P is hiding under his desk, cringing right now.
