Hey #TeamShadow,
Last week we added a new section beneath each data center, “Start of week”. This marks the starting point of activations for each datacenter in a given week. Combine this with our target for your datacenter and you should be able to determine whether you’ll be activated this week!
For New York pre-orders, some users who pre-ordered between May 27th and July 16th and were promised activation in July 2020 will have their Shadow delivery delayed. As there is still next week to process activations in July and activations are processed on a first-come first-served basis, we will email all impacted users that will be delayed by the end of July with their adjusted delivery timeline.
Given the feedback from previous weekly activation updates, we’d like to clearly address that we’re monitoring Chicago and Texas closely to avoid any delays similar to New York. We will update this thread with any developments during the week if we have any, and of course provide you the situation in next Monday’s update. Please keep the feedback coming, and thank you for your patience despite the wait for activation.
Santa Clara, Paris, and Amsterdam continue to activate at a fairly regular pace each.
As a reminder:
-We activate Monday through Thursday
-Beginning at 8am local time each day for each datacenter
