When do Blizzard use to release patches? - Jugalator - 04-22-2003
I read that Bill Roper said in the latest Blizzard interview that 1.10 should be released in about 3 weeks? (haven't heard the interview yet, but I will when it's archived at that site I don't remember the URL of)
He has said earlier that 1.10 "will not be a subject" at the E3 Expo.
So that narrows down the possible date quite well, unless there are any unexpected delays. :)
If we count this week, 3 weeks from now would be May 5 - 9. I think E3 starts the week after so that seems to fit things well. :)
Now, do anyone know when they've released their past couple of patches? Would be interesting to know if there's a pattern (like if they're more likely to release during Monday to Wednesday than Wednesday to Friday).

Hail Jugulator,
Simple: we take the announced period of time (three weeks), multiplay it by pi, and use that as our base frames. We then calculate the speed formula for 28%IAS (28 days in a lunar month), and we get the following...
{256*((3*pi) + 1)/<(100 + <28/(1 + 28/120)>)/100*256>} - 1
Which gives us...
{2668.743 / <100 + 22 / 100 * 256>} - 1
Or...
{2668.743 / 312} - 1
Which gives us 7 more weeks until the release of 1.10. However, that is only if we do not factor in the crack-factor: if we take that into account, then our release date is the first of Octember.
In short, release dates are not worth a pinch of salt: wait until you see positive notification that the server is currently being patched for 1.10 ;)

Hehe, that was the kind of answer I could expect. :) I just recall hearing that they usually don't release patches close to the weekends in case they'd screw things up. Too bad they've cleaned their announcement archives -- otherwise this could've been easily checked. Hmm... Perhaps the dates on their FTP site might tell us? :D

EDIT- had date instead of data. :P

Or we could ask Punxsutawney Phil to come out of his hole and if he sees his shadow, 6 more weeks until 1.10. No shadow and 1.10 is just around the corner!

Actual Isolde just stated that we shouldn't expect the patch before E3 as they (at blizzard ) have to get ready for the E3 Jazz!
"Where have all the patches gone ! Long time pa...."
