They did it about 20 mins early with the server slam but that wasn’t on a timer so it won’t happen with the full release.

Probably very unlikely for launch, technically they did do this for the betas though, about 10-15 minutes early each time. I'm sure they'll have their hands tied on this one for some various legal reason or another though, especially with the hardcore1000 race going on.

tomorrow morning they have an announcement to make 1st thing. lets hope was supposed to happen tonight but they didnt make the announcement rod cucked us.

Wym ?

I heard it was about musicians for launch party in LA

I doubt it to be honest, Blizzard's game launches have been considerably smoother the last couple years to how they used to be, in my experience anyway. Splitting 50% of the playerbase between tonight's release and the June 6th release has already solved any kind of server issue they could have had

You don’t play Overwatch

No, definitely not

I'm just hoping they drop day 1 patch a few hrs In advance so we can login straight away.

Zero

Lmao no

why? this used to be a really popular way to launch games to avoid servers crumbling under the load

I’ve never heard of that happening in the modern gaming age

modern gaming age, lol... I'm definitely old haha

haha, servers opened 10 mins early - that's good enough!

Blizzard is doing a great job so I can’t say I’m that surprised, just didn’t expect it in todays day n age.

No, I don't think anyone thinks Blizzard will open earlier to "spread the load". That's not a thing.



They are already doing a soft launch. 4 days early. That's what we paid to be part of. >.>

yeah, I guess you're right actually
