drtechno Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Will the demo release announcement be an automated post that happens on midnight of the day prior to release? Or will there simply be a post in the morning? Or is it going to occur at the end of the workday? Would be nice to know so that we don't have to keep hammering the site every hour from work seeing if there has been an update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsmith Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Really that depends on Where you live now, doesn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 depends on what timezone you live in i can guarantee you they will post it between 00:00 and 24:00 o´clock, so you cant miss it. lean back, chill out and suddenly the demo/game is released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtechno Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Actually it really doesn't depend on what timezone you live in. I thought you all learned in 1944 that what's most important is the yanks. All that matters is US Eastern standard time. The rest of you can convert from GMT. I'm sure Steve has some plan.. perhaps they want a morning release so that they have time to work out any kinks in the distribution system? Or perhaps a 5pm release would work well after they have had all day to set up for it ? Would be nice to know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword56 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 yeh, it would be nice to know so that i do not waste another x amount of hours pressing refresh. Yes, but admit it: You will keep refreshing anyway because -- like all the rest of us -- you're addicted to the anticipation for this game, and the group experience of sharing the excitement only fuels the fire... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaf Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The video card on my computer just died... If I have not replaced it by the planned launch date of the demo, will Battlefront hold the demo back to avoid causing me frustration? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have a continuing education course to complete, so I hope they don't release the game for at least two more weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herr_oberst Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Would be nice to know so that we don't have to keep hammering the site every hour from work seeing if there has been an update. Just as soon as the missus sends you out on an errand, then it'll be announced. Just so that by the time you get back, the web server queues will be full, and your refresh-monkeying results in a stream of web server request denials... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 drtechno - what time do you go to bed? It will be released just after that. (Best to not sleep for the next few weeks.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtechno Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have purchased a case of Red Bull and a funnel for the first night it is released. I currently am on my 'pre-release' sleep plan, sleeping only during the hours of 1-5am, as thats the least likely time of the release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
