Dysehunter Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 On the last patch update the notes said the trackers pack would be available to purchase on the 21st of this month, It's the 21st now and they are not in the store, Anyone got any info on this ? Any info is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyMcGee Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well I think they were saying "some time on the 21st" and remember they will be talking about American time zones. Their 21st has barely begun. I'm assuming you may be in APAC like me - we kind of have to take it that they mean the day after for us. If they say 21st, assume it's the 22nd. You'll live a happier life that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abercromb Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It is always the same. Every time they launch a pack people will ask early on the day when it is released and blame Bioware when it is not available for them. Based on all the previous packs expect it mid afternoon in the UK/Europe sometime around 2 or 3. That is when it has nearly always arrived.

And I'm not sure why it's so wrong for APAC people to ask where it is. I'm sat here at 1930 and they announced the packs as being on the 21st. Yes, I know from experience that they are US-centric and that's what they meant. But if they give a date, I don't think it's unreasonable for people to expect it on that date - and our 21st will be gone soon with no packs. Personally, I think the fairest thing would be to give all times throughout the year in UTC. There's a reason it's call Universal (And no, I am not in the UK, so this is not self-serving). That way, dates would work for the majority of countries because UTC is right in the middle of all time zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddballEasyEight Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 5 hours to go then I'm off to buy 4 hypercrates To sell them on the GTN I hope! Don't spend real money on that random gamble... Sell them each (as in each individual pack, not an entire crate) for around 350-500k each and then you can buy ANYTHING you want from the pack... without having to rely on chance to get it.

Well, you are right but for me opening packs is part of the fun. I don't buy as many and I don't expect to get what I want necessarily. I just do it for the fun of it and supporting the game really. But besides that, you are absolutely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is a completely different story then. If the actual opening of them is the fun part for you (and not actually trying to get anything special) then more power to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andryah Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Noon PST on the 21st. EDT, not PST.... but... Worthy of restatement.. for folks who either do not bother, or cannot be bothered to read what Bioware tells them a week in advance. Noon EDT on the 21st And if you get them earlier.. that's a free cherry on top of your sundae. Edited October 21, 2013 by Andryah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorstram Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 For future reference it would be good if they put on their posts "Will be released US time 9am western, EU time etc...." would save on confusion Just assume their talking about 'Murica. Because like everything else in the world, it revolves around us. Don't expect any breakdowns for Euro time zones because 'Murica don't do that. In fact, soon we'll be changing Greenwich Mean Time to Global 'Murica Time, which will synch the entire world to Eastern Standard time in the U.S. The good news is, this will give everyone an extra hour of sleep. We now return you to your locally scheduled programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
