Somebody probably misplaced the floppy disc, and they can't finish the install without the original DRM code.

An extra 4hours?.......
That's... ****ing extreme precautions!
Guess I'll not be playing tonight at all..
:(
Biggest mistake they made...
Staff cutbacks so close to DLC release...
They could have waited a little longer..
Never mind...
Don't worry Grenade-gate is coming soon enough...
Soon isn't good enough, I want it now!
*cries*
Well It's OFFICIAL Trion couldn't find a clue in a bag full of clues covered in clue glue, this is why they need to do major updates at times when it will least affect the players. I mean if you really want to keep the folks who pay to play happy keep the game up when they wanna play. I mean really oh wahhhh!!! so you have to pay some staff a little extra to come in after hours to do the job, well that's called customer service which Trion seems to lack in spades. So I will just have to continue biting my pillow and taking their medicine if I continue to play this game.
"Hi all,
We encountered some hang-ups with the database that took up more time than expected to resolve. Due to that delay, we're extending the downtime an additional ** 4 hours ** to ensure we have appropriate time to do verification. That brings our new ETA to 6PM PST / 2AM GMT.
Thank you all for your patience.

Can you imagine the outrage that's going to happen tonite as people log in after a month away....and find out all their duplicated grenade types are just refills...?
I know there's people out there with multiple legendary nades of the same type. Well....were people with multiple nades of the same type.
:P
Yep... Hence the new sig picture.. LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHA Typical Trion, Epic!!!!
Don't want to worry anyone but by "database" do they mean our player data?? sound like they are having comparability issues with our player data with the new server side update

o.o if thay screwed up bad enough to lose all char data o.o i would leave. and never return
No data will be wipped xD, in that case, they should have a db backup...
I think it was something related to the new content.
Well so much for enjoying my snow day. Now no defiance till 9:00 PM EST. Looks like i won't be playing after all. Good night all may get to play tomorrow. Can't say i am surprised. my original guess was 7 hours. I guess I will go clean the snow off my car instead.
not to mention the DLC has not gone live on the steam page yet o.o
so that could also be hanging them up
edit :: DLC just appeared on steam WOOT WOOT ITS MINE MUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Defiance content releases always seem a bit...

I know what I can do!
I can copy paste those code things!
That'll waste the whole of twenty minutes ;)
I agree it's a bad comparison if it where to be accurate it would be 2 or 3 people trying to broadcast it via a weak Skype connection with poor and degraded video talking about a different event they did earlier even though they already spent the allotted time for that event earlier.
is that the "defiance" livestream???
DLC
Delayed.
Late.
Content.
That is all. :(
I'm having a hard time choking down the idea that the database caused an additional 4 hours of downtime. I'm not trying to troll either. I have some IRL experience with databases (of many kinds) and it just doesn't add up that any "glitch" would cause an additional 4 hours unless you hosed something like the inventory table. Even at that, I can't imagine the table would be larger than a few gigs which means a meaty-okra NOC system should be able to process a scripted repair in a few mins -- not hours :(
No worries. They should have pre-patch backups.
Like... "must... not... slit.... wrists...."
I remember a movie as a youngster, "Word of the wise, never pay full price for late..." Lets see how old everyone is :)
i won't be getting the dlc until i see pictures of the new tech [weapons] on the internets :3
