Patch Notes - May 9, 2012
we're at 3 pages already xD. look at what boredom can do
yeah read the last page and catch up.
I'm afraid we detected significantly more stray snipes in the gears than expected, which means that there will be up to 2 hours of additional downtime from now. Once again, our sincere apologies for the delay. We'll make up for that with reduced elevator costs once we're back
So in other words, EU and UK players are expected to either stay up past midnight to try the new content today, or log on tommorow and miss the reduced elevator costs. Reminds me of the Parrying Blade promotion.
Was bored so I dug up so videos... Here's one

They should've made them Pure Elemental, though. So F2P'rs have a Chance in T1 Lockdown.

Does Softpaws needs to derail this thread?
Nice, now as a plus to not bring able to play since I have school in one hour I will also miss the reduced elevator cost even if I couldn't play it during my free time because of a Rescue Camp update... This day keeps getting better (not getting mad at anyone or anything of the like, just commenting since I don't have anything better to do).
OK, off to 8 ball multiplayer for a little bit, and reading, and..and..
A repost from the original patch announcements:

Once again, our sincere apologies for the delay. We'll make up for that with reduced elevator costs once we're back - and whoever left the snipe cages' doors open will be forced to clean out Snarbolax' litter box for the next month.
Ummm... I have a level pass - what will this reduced elevator cost do for me? I mean: I would like a different apologizing gift.. *realization* Thanks for any gift whatsoever Devs!
+1 to Echoez
[bless] you OOO , maybe you should think more that there are players from other countries too, beside of US.
Not only you screw up quite not significant update, but also you discriminate players from other countries with 'reduced elevator cost' that will appear only on short period of time.
Instead of reduced elevator cost we should get something like a 4 hours elvator pass that will be acquired from ingame mail and activated when we log in to game first time after you bring servers back up, instead of reduced elvator cost promo that will benefit only players from certain locations.
You people are insatiable, you know that? They give a gift, and you just whine. Yeesh.
Serious game developer: screw up a game update 50 times.
Gift? What gift? Im going to sleep, as well as lot of other players from similar timezone, the update was supposed to end 1 and half hour ago.
Im sure there will be no gift when i, and other players from timezones same as i live in, and around it, will wake up and go to game, unless the update will last for 10 hours more.
Sorry, but if you don't like what the game developers are doing, stop playing.
Obviously they are trying to fix this and you get to play for free.
So stop complaining and do something else for 2 hours of your life.
Guess I'm going back to gates to farm him, especially since DR just got a small damage bonus.

This. Totally.
The point isn't that Asukalan and others want a bigger "I'm sorry" gift. It's that they want the gift to be evenly distributed, rather than benefiting only a small segment of the SK community which happens to play during that window.
You want them to code a brand new item just for you, huh? After all the rage and complaining, you want them to pander to you? Besides...
What if it doesn't work the way you want it to?
What about the players that don't have the time to sit down for a 4 hour grind?
What if you already have an elevator pass?
Why don't they just hand out free CE instead?
I never want to have kids. I don't like you people.
@Leafblader: I believe that the 1st video you have sent us required LSD in amounts exceeding any sane approximations O_o' To create, of course.

This.
...and their souls! We demand their souls! Let us rip their helmets off and chew on their spines... Naaa... I rather go and check if there are any cats on the interwebs.
@Admins: I sooooo look forward to new secrety locations like wishing wels, hidden blocks and switches... somuchwant.png
@Sniperjoe
This is not brand new item, and this is not especially for me, its for the players who are hurt by not living in certain place in certain timezone.
Elevator pass is currently existing item so its nothing new.
Please be a troll so I can know that someone this pathetic isn't real.
Well, I'm gonna go play 8 ball pool multiplayer too.
Come on... He is angry not pathetic. Please do not insult a fellow pony :(
I kinda agree with what Asukalan is (angrily) suggesting. A friend of mine was waiting past midnight for the expected time of the update, but it still has yet to come, meaning he'll have to wait for tomorrow.
If there's a reduced elevator cost, it should be turned into something similar to the Elevator Pass, in that it reduces the fee by half for a set amount of time. That way, anyone who is in dire need of sleep and still waiting for the update can benefit from it.
Doesn't seem fair to my friend to eagerly wait 'til midnight to try out an update that was delayed far longer than he could stay up.
i'm back! what did i miss? oh right, nothing, they havent cleaned all the gears yet....... ¬¬
/waits for the 2 hours to be over while checking the forums and watching nyan cat 100 hours.
