Early Enrollment 4.2 Ready for Deployment

[Ryan Dancey]

Players, Early Enrollment 4.2 is scheduled to deploy this morning (Wednesday 25 February) and you will need to patch your client before you will be able to play. The new patching files will become available after the server comes on-line at approximately 10:00am (Pacific).

I'm willing to take the leap of faith if you are. :)

[Drake Brimstone]

Yay, even if it adds back the explosion of Mobs, I'll take it! (I want my channel energy back.)

[KotC - Erian El'ranelen]

I did, for safety's sake, run back to Keeper's Pass before logging out...

[Ryan Dancey]

Important

We are still holding on the deployment for 4.2. The update will not be applied when the servers come on line on 25 February.

[Gol Tink]

Well shucks, guess I'll keep solo grinding for spells and maneuvers.

[KotC - Erian El'ranelen]

Yep, back to blowing up goblins.

[GripGuiness]

Donkey and I thank you for the update

[Gol Tink]

Shrek?

[GripGuiness]

No

[Gol Tink]

... Puss-in-Boots?

I think you guys should just deploy 5.0 next week Thursday

[TEO Alexander Damocles]

They need to deploy 4.2 in order to be certain that it works properly on the live server. If they jumped to 5.0 and something went wrong, they wouldn't know what caused the problem. It could be changes from 4.2 acting up, it could be 5.0 code reacting badly to 4.2 code, it could be 5.0, they just wouldn't know.

Programming is a really complex thing, and as the old saying goes, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."

[Ravenlute]

Such a tease.

[KarlBob]

Lee should be prepared to field lots of questions about the issues holding back deployment of EE 4.2 at tonight's chat.

[Gol Tink]

I hope not, especially when one question would do; What issues are delaying the patch?

And then a follow up question; Are those issues delaying ongoing development of EE5?

That poor bridled donkey... Oh, to run free, with the wind blowing through your teeth, such is the way of the Wild Donkey!

[FMS Quietus]

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

You are Puss ... and boots do not yet work.

He does not mind the bridle. Sometimes he wears it ... sometimes I do. Such is partnership.
