Announcing Conquest of the Wizardlands Expansion!

"Steam Time" means that it will take "some time", where "some time" is an unspecified amount of time - maybe 15 minutes, maybe 15 hours.

 

I believe that is called Valve time.

 

Valve Time has a much wider margin for error, up to and including the end of the universe.

 

Assuming all is right with Steam, are we still on for tomorrow? I've got my suit laid out and everything. I mean business!

 

I put on my archmage robe and wizard hat just for this expansion. I cannot wait even the limited time it'll take for release.

 

Usually new releases go on after about 6pm GMT(+1?), which I think is generally between 8-11am in the US (most sales end about 10am in one of the US time zones, which is 6pm GMT(+1? I dunno!)), so any time after that.

I think YHTNTEP wasn't up fully until about 12pm, maybe 1pm, in whatever time zone Valve use.

 

pffft

 

Soldiers!
Today will be a great day for the Eyebrow Empire!
Our castle mages finally have managed to open the portals to our old enemies, the wizards of the Wizardlands!
Conquistadores!
It is our holy duty to rush there, plunder and pillage, and then be portrayed as heroes!
Go, now!
As soon as the portals are ully open, throw 3 coins against it to enter them and SLAUGHTER the enemy!
For Diggle Eggs!

 

Can you give us an ETA in "so many hours until launch"?
Because I do not know in which timezone you are.

 

Steam typically updates patches and releases late afternoons our time Frelus, if it hits today I assume it's going to be somewhere between 5-8 pm our time. (CET)

 

Ah, okay.
Damnit.

 

Seven hours from now is roughly the earliest it'll be. Expect it to really be about nine hours from now, though.

 

Wait. I'm confused. I thought it was going to be up by noon EST at the latest. I know the DLC achievements are already there on Steam, which is really confusing, since the DLC itself hasn't been released.

 

Will our current characters be banished to the void when this rolls out?

 

They are trying to implement save compatibility. You probably won't have to worry.

 

I think so. The plan was to break save game compatibility so that we could have a new, improved save game format that stores the mods used in that save.

EDIT: Disregard, I've just seen Daynab's post in the changelog thread. The saves should be compatible.

 

How long? HOW LONG!?

Don't make me wait any looooonger!
