10:09 Pacific here. Rest assured, if midnight hits and I ain't got it you'll know.

 

Prepare to be disappointed. Obs probably isn't going to do a major release when their staff is home in bed.

 

Hard to be disappointed when exactly what I expect to happen...happens. I'm not up until midnight waiting with baited breath. I'm up until 6:00 A.M.  every night, and hoping that I'm wrong and it releases at midnight so I can play it all night instead of when I wake up tomorrow afternoon.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one to be surprised that there was not a single sign of an upcoming expansion on Steam yesterday.  

Grrrr it's so annoying to wait without any news....

It's a bit odd that they haven't released a go live time or anything similar.

My Twitter feed this morning has some stuff about shirt designs, and something about PAX. Really odd. It is like this expansion isn't even happening!

 

I really want to play the game again, it would be nice to get some info on when it will be available

Around 7AM PST it seems:

Not even an update to backers, nothing mentioned in any gaming websites, no GOG or Steam page.. It is still happening, yeah?

I figured Obsidian has been quiet enough and does things in a strange enough way most of the time that we would not see the expansion for a midnight release. I Went to be early to maximize my day off to play time ratio. Still no word, still not available for download. Its cool.

 

 

But Twitter? Barf. They say nothing on their forums and I have to follow twitter feeds to stay informed? Obsidian your contributing to my being scared for the future! Learn to communicate with your community, not at your community using Twitter, the Kardashian equivalent of modern customer communication.

And no word on GOG.com but I fear not.. I have Shadoweun Returns: Hong Kong to keep me entertained. Also Larian Studios launches their Divine Divinity: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter in 2 days. Plenty of chances to rid myself of my money in return for cRPG goodness presently.

 

Now to enjoy the wait and regret that I picked beta access over the expansion when I backed the game, since beta access on my Mac was both late and ran like a slideshow. More money for Obsidian means more means to bring me Pillars of Eternity 2.

My game is currently downloading a 2.1gb update through Steam. Is that the patch?...If so, I might start as soon as it finishes.

Yes, the patch is up.  Expansion is expected to appear around 7:00AM Pacific time.

gog.com has it http://www.gog.com/game/pillars_of_eternity_the_white_march_part_1

Sure as hell been quiet on it... has there been any word on it... heck, Kickstarter hasn't received a SINGLE newspost about the expansion coming up... last update was 2.10 on the other Kickstarter. What the heck OE?

I got a backer email two hours ago, update #100.

Yup, 101. But 100 was from 1 July and there were about a dozen X-Pack threads here in news I missed, and ZERO (0!) on Kickstarter at all. I mean, they only promoted the card-game, but not the expansion? And then suddenly out of the blue "oh wait, we had this x-pack. It's released now... yeah, I bet you didn't know it was coming from our silence"
