Comment by Commentor432May as well prepare for not playing tomorrow at all. I have low expectations.Comment by Nyxob24Probably gonna turn into a 10-12 hours maintenance :P That's fine, I'm working all day long! Can't wait to see that patch!Comment by Haretic"8" We know its going to be a buggy mess when it drops. Might as well make it a full day, but they need their customers ( AKA unpaid production testers ) to find the bugs first.Comment by CorpselanceI want to log in but at the same time I kinda wanna just wait.Comment by Wildshots110Workn8 hours so hope it’ll be ready when I’m outComment by OldGrommStill shorter than climbing up the ladder in MGS 3.Comment by kinarkin other news the sky is blueComment by DardrolorI work till 3:30pt so perfect for me when I get home I can grindComment by biggiy05Grown adults losing their minds because they won't be able to play for 8-10 hours minimum will never not be pathetic.

It doesn't matter if you pay for the game. You know maintenance is going to happen and they have to take the servers offline to deploy the patch so why are y'all losing your &*!@ over it?Comment by RexNebularGrown adults losing their minds because they won't be able to play for 8-10 hours minimum will never not be pathetic.
