When will we see patch 3.0.3?
Will we get it tomorrow? It's a possibility, but from the sounds of things it's kind of unlikely. I don't think we've ever had a patch didn't happen on a Tuesday (though I may be mistaken), so if it's not tomorrow that only leaves November 11th for a patch prior to launch. Alternatively, maybe they'll roll it out the night of Wrath's launch, so when you pop in those install discs you get to patch, too. Considering midnight launches though, it would be really unusual if they rolled out the patch the evening of November 12th. Personally, my money is on patch 3.0.3 being pushed live on November 11th, and if the devs announced patch maintenance for tomorrow while I write this I am going to eat my hat.

Get ready to eat your hat.
Breaking News just came up

Hahaha. Oh man. Well, it doesn't say the patch is coming yet! My hat is still safe for at least a few hours. Hopefully.
Korpse Nov 3rd 2008 6:07PM
Nothing, yet. It doesn't say "extended maintenance". I guess your safe for now. ;D
Pantyraider Nov 3rd 2008 6:04PM
In for YouTube video of hat eating.

yeah pics or it didn't happen
Baratha Nov 3rd 2008 6:08PM
Do you need any salt, BBQ sauce, etc. for said hat eating?
gramstead Nov 3rd 2008 6:08PM
heheeheee someone has a sense of humor...

Boy do I hope scheduled maintenance is over when it's supposed to be tomorrow. I have a massive med school exam at 2pm my time (10am PST) that I should be done with before 4 (Noon PST). Then I'm planning on drinking, playing WoW, watching politics, and eating candy for the rest of the day. Since politics won't even start to be newsworthy until 7 or 8 my time, they'd better not take WoW away from me!

I seriously doubt that the patch will come Nov 11th on US servers, because that would mean that it came Nov 12th on European servers. And that is one day before the release of WotLK. Patches always cause problems on some systems, so having the risk of rolling out a patch that may cause problems plus a new expansion on more or less the same day (midnight shopping anyone?)? I wouldn't do it.

Oh, man. That sounds like the best time you can have! A post-test high, sugar, alcohol, nerdiness, and exciting real life stuff!

blizzard is pretty good with due dates, just the lag and bugs that follow that annoy me. my bet is Nov 11th.
Verit Nov 3rd 2008 6:24PM
Being that they already hotfixed some pally issues I'm sure they are ready to lay down the rest of the nerf this Tuesday asap.
Neodarkmatter Nov 3rd 2008 6:35PM
I'll have to go buy a hat to eat if it doesn't come out tomorrow. I'll take mine with ketchup and drink it down with some good old Mountain Dew!
Lemons Nov 3rd 2008 6:53PM
Whenever it's coming out it can't come quick enough! I can't wait to see ret pallies nerfed "to the ground, baby!"
RetPallyJil Nov 3rd 2008 7:08PM
We already have been, retard.
Manatank Nov 3rd 2008 7:18PM
Haven't the majority of the serious nerfs already been hotfixed? What's left that is going to make a real difference other than nerfs to seals/judgements that ret pallies don't use in PvP like righteousness, vengenece/corruption, light, and wisdom?
As far as I know, the patch really just finishes the nerfs to pally DPS in general (prot/holy) since seal of command was already nerfed in the hotfixes. Did the RV and AoW nerfs not make it to live yet?
Lemons Nov 3rd 2008 8:05PM
"We already have been, retard."
Really? I didn't notice considering ret pallies are still running around wtfpwning everything in sight.
Oh, and I don't mean the one's that are in good gear either, I mean the run-to-the-auction-house-and-pick-
up-the-oathkeeper ones.
Blizz still has a way to go to reblance ret pallies to the level of the other mere mortals in the game, and if you don't think so you're an idiot.

That's the thing, they nerfed our scaling and sustainability meaning there's very little changed but we're almost in the exact same position at 80 as we were pre-3.0.
Muse Nov 3rd 2008 7:06PM
Tuesday this, Tuesday that, not a word about the fact that half the patching population patch on Wednesdays.
