Actual "Launch" Time?

[Venidicio]

This game will be pretty much dead after a month. Its sad really because the game is good but there are problems in the beta & there are already people cancelling there reserves based of it. I work at gamestop & 7 people alone yesterday cancelled on my shift alone. 1 pc 4 ps3, & 2 xbox .

Maybe they cancelled the console version to buy PC (Steam) Version?
They have a very attractive 'tiered rewards' offer. I know several of my friends cancelled and switched to Steam.

I am fairly sure we will aim for a US EST launch. So 9:00pm PDT and midnight EST. This may change, but trust me when i say...

We will make an official announcement.

9 p.m. PST on the 1st, so that it's midnight Eastern? Oh, THAT would be outstanding!

Thank you for answering Sledge!

The worst part of that, is cancelling a pre-order based on playing an unfinished version of the final product. They didn't even wait to experience the entirety of the game and TV show tie in. The TV show itself is going to make the game that much more epic!

Well to be fair, it'd be impossible to cancel once the game launches. If they want to cancel, now's the only time to do it.

Indeed. Sadly, at 9pm Pacific, the folks on the west coast won't be playing. They won't even be able to pick up the game for another three hours at bare minimum, and likely closer to 12 by the time stores open.

Probably because not a small number of people have been ordering through steam. The preorder tier bonuses are the best bonuses of all the retailers at the moment if any tier gets unlocked. This weekend's beta caused the tier one marker to jump literally from 40%ish range before friday to now around 81% and climbing.

So it isnt necessarily that you're seeing a true decline :P

Make sure it is timed to be what the current countdown clock for steam's unlock is too please :P

Almost positive that the launch client will be a different launcher.

You can already set it up on steam and yes its a different client from beta and as well from alpha.

If it is 9pm PDT that's a 4am UK start. Time to set my alarm clock
