Damn it. GAF told me 8pm EST was also for digital and I went half cocked and cancelled the physical gold pre-order from Amazon and now I lost it.

Now I'm stuck with the digital plebs

Very true. I should've known better than to trust Ubi wording at face value

...and as a digital owner you will have any updates (Day 1, etc) downloaded and ready to go with the rest of the game without the need to install from disc and then download the updates before playing.

At least you can preload now! I'm actually having to contemplate rushing home at lunch to get everything started so I can play that night.

I'm....still confused.

What does local time unlock mean, but 0001 Est is being used?

Does that mean 2101 servers open PST or 0001 PST

But didn't you read all the internal company emails? ;)

I'm ready to hop into the Dark Zone wearing some nice fashionable items. Also I can't wait to see full character customization.

Lastly pro-tip, if you keep on making random characters you get the cosmetic items for them. I might spend a bit of time just making multiple characters for the fun of it.

Though that last line is fucking stupid, you can create a new character and have another fresh start with them again. Tell these people you like.

Jesus...this all or nothing mentally.

I wonder how time consuming this will be with the new intro.

Also, PC people feel free to add me on uPlay: A_GrizzlyBear.

12:01AM March 8th depending on which store you bought it (12:01AM Store time)
Click to expand...

Well, assuming your own time zone dictates which store you're in (this is weird how they're saying that), that would mean people on west coast don't unlock until 12:01am March 8th. Kind of lame

"Hey guys when will we allow gamers to preload and start playing?"
"Let's get XBone to preload on the 3rd and PC and PS4 on the 6th. Servers for all go online on the 8th at *time*"

NOPE

"Let's make a clusterfuck of timezones for each platform for preload AND servers going online"

Guys, apparently and according to the french announcement, ALL countries get to play on 0:01am of their respective timezone.

The servers start at 0:01 am australia time, but your copies will be locked until 0:01am the 8th of your own TZ. In France for example, the announcement states that only reviewers get to play from 2:01pm on the 7th.

It's a mess of a communication seriously, and that's just unprofessional whatsoever.
