For any wondering, I downloaded completely using no VPN client. I then shut down Origin and installed VPN service and connected to Korea. I then logged in to Origin (which had switched to the Korean client). I then checked my play date which said Monday, 7am. I am in the Pacific Time Zone (West Coast in the Americas). That means it is unlocking 14 hours early.
So I wont know until Monday at 7am, but maybe you don't need to download with the VPN at all. Just launch the Origin client after connecting to Korea on game day.
yes but you live in a region where you can preload the 14th. Those of us in europe cant preload until the 17th, for me, it would be at 6pm here in sweden. Now i could have just waited for the 17th preloaded 6pm and then used the korean vpn to unlock afterwards, but id rather start playing as soon as possible, id lose about 2 hours of gameplay
my internet is fast and the vpn thing worked without a hitch. Btw for me its 4pm on monday, with the korean vpn, the time differs depending on your own location. Basically the equivalent of your current hour in your region to the korean one.
I think its OK if you have slowish internet to use VPN so you can start pre-loading earlier, but I'd rather wait for day 1 patch before starting the game.
nah, im greedy i want to play as early as possible, and i have a fast internet connection. The day 1 patch is still going to come and it wont make much of a difference to the enjoyment of the game anyway.
