    I think it's about 1pm there right now. So we can expect an update some time in the next 4-5 hours.

    Anytime before "evening" would be the afternoon. And anytime after 12pm (noon) would be "after" noon.

    Well right now it would be, for example in Washington DC: 2:23 pm
    The update yesterday came around 5:30 pm Washington DC time.
    So expect it to be a couple of hours still.
    (Or just that they will update us with another update on wednesday ^^)

    It's already 8:30pm over here, so they will post something when EU players are asleep and during prime time for US players.

    Please, lower ESO+ prices for EU players; no decent servers for EU players, and no care for those players at all, we pay about the same but get not even half of the service US players get.

    It pretty normal for them to post during their working hours not their fault if europe is on the otherside of the ocean

    I am guessing that they will post an update close to the end of the dev day, after they have had time to discuss things, and what ever else.

    ^This.

    The last update (the one saying they'd have something further to tell us this afternoon) came at around the end of their working day yesterday. That means that whatever they're going to tell us today is something that they didn't have ready/finalized at the end of their working day yesterday.

    Based on that, we can infer that they needed to spend some time getting it ready/finalized today. That will include them getting status updates and signoffs on things from various people/teams, and spending some time actually writing up what they're going to tell us. So it's logical to expect the update to be posted close to the end of their work day.

    Which it might well be, since the update seems to depend on Groupfinder passing QA before they release it back on the poor PC/EU servers.

    An important take-away to keep in mind is that most projects delivered 'On Time' according to an unyielding long lead schedule are delivered unfinished and needing to be worked on afterwards to achieve the promised goal.
    Some of those unfinished projects are deemed to be 'as good as it's going to get' some time during that after-delivery period.

    Promised bug-fixes fall into a subset of the above.
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.
