When is the official release date of u29?

[BeccaBop]

I could make a guess. An informed guess, even.

But is there an actual calendar day that the devs have said yet? Or better yet, would a dev respond to this?

I don't want to be caught midway through a TR. But I do want to get them all in that I can before the update goes live.

[Cordovan]

We have not yet announced a release date, sorry.

[Vorthian]

We have not yet announced a release date, sorry.

Is it possible the update will occur this week? If not, I and others may may better plan our time.

[btolson]

We have not yet announced a release date, sorry.

Can you try to give us at least one full week's advance notice?

[Atremus]

The update has lots of things to work on still. Lots of stuff still under construction so it can't be this week.

[Ravand]

Can you try to give us at least one full week's advance notice?

This.

[Cordovan]

Yes.

Can you try to give us at least one full week's advance notice?

This is not possible given the above comment.

[Basura_Grande]

Will there be one more Lamania before going live?

[Qhualor]

Yes.

Phew. Good thing I farmed seeds last week and IR'd all my characters that needed to do it.

I hate to be a gloom and doom type person, but you're really slipping here, Cord. The correct, DDO lore specific answer is: Soon (tm).

[Cleanincubus]

Yes.

I pray this is a joke in an attempt to conceal when the Update is really going Live. I can't think of an Update this year that wasn't shoved out so quick that it didn't need at least 1 large patch to fix the stuff that could have been taken care of, had they held off for another week or 2. It'd be really nice if the last Update of the year showed competence, as well as respect to players' intelligence, but not pushing it out before it's really done.

Legendary Greensteel wasn't complete on the build just this weekend. The LGS augment slot page looking like a high school senior was handed MS Paint, and asked to make its graphical interface. The difficulty of the raids and quests were still off (some claiming mobs hitting too hard, while the raids in general are too easy.) Creeping Death being all wonky with the doors and breakables. Bugs with the new Feats not working properly. Random loot being a complete mess.

I've already held off from purchasing the last pack, out of protest from this years lackluster content. Guess I'll have to wait until next year to continue my "no-purchase protest," since I already own the Vale pack.

[Ravand]

Yes.

Rather than being coy with the release date, it would be both polite and professional to let the player base know as soon as possible when the Devs *expect* U29 to launch. Caveats can be added regarding "based on the information we presently have available."

No one wants to be left hanging with a missed opportunity to ETR/ITR before another ~2 million XP gets added to the mix.

Thank you in advance.

The exact date depends on various factors over the next 48 hours that haven't happened yet, but we do plan to officially announce it as soon as we are able. The general time frame is as early as later this week to (perhaps, if necessary) after the holidays.

Yes.

With a new Star Trek trailer out today, and the new Star Wars movie coming out in just a few days, I guess I have space opera on the brain. Here's an excerpt from my plagiarized "Update 29: The Wrath of Khan-dovan" script that expresses my reaction (in a code block to minimize screen impact):

SPOCK
Admiral. Scanning source code changes on Lamannia. Changes I've never seen before.

David peers closer over Spock's shoulder, reacts.

DAVID
It's the U29 patch!

KIRK
What?

DAVID
They're on a build up to release!

KIRK
How soon --

DAVID
Some time this week --

KIRK
We'll browbeat them on the forums and stop it --

DAVID
You can't!

The briefest stunned moment. Kirk hits intercom:

KIRK
Scotty, I need level cap in three days or we're all SOL!

STATIC.

KIRK
Scotty!

Saavik, get us leveled, best speed!

KHAN-DOVAN
No... you can't get to cap... from Dolurrh's heart I stab at thee... for hate's sake... I destabilize the servers on zone transition at thee!

KIRK
Time!

SAAVIK
Still at most 3 days, probably. You only asked like 30 seconds ago.

KIRK
XP til cap...

CHEKOV
3 million XP.

SULU
We're not going to make it, are we?

Kirk looks at David, but David shakes his head: No way.

Cordovan, I'm not trying to shoot the messenger. Your name just fits in there like it's meant to be. I do appreciate your efforts and hope you keep doing the great job you're doing.

Also thanks to IMSDb for the script.

keeping my fingers crossed for this week.

Cool. I'll keep Xachosian Eardwellers in a tank for when the crew arrives.

Hmm, Etr and run 20 to 30, or not and enjoy 28-30.... that is the question....

[trevitt]

hold on cordovan comes on to answer the star trek quote but no to answer the comment about giving people a bit of notice so they don't get hung out to dry by not getting time to ETR/ITR, seems a bit wrong there. Not like he didn't read the tread. Just saying, would be a bit **** to be level 27 nearly 28 and then need 2 more levels when you could have spend an extra hour to 2 to get there when you would have logged normally.
