official World of Warcraft

This patch is due to be released before the actual expansion.

How come you stopped playing your priest?

The http source on the torrent tracker used to be really fast, which meant decent speeds. Now It's just overloaded and slow as hell, sometimes it doesn't even seem to connect.

It turns out that they're not 'overloaded', they're just throttling the connection.

I suspect the 4.0 patch will be either tomorrow or next Tuesday. Also, WoW works fine in the Program Files folder (now) on Vista/7. They fixed the launcher. The PTR (and I assume Cata) install there by default again.

So soon? you think?

[Sethos]

Wouldn't surprise me, when they start pre-loading they are released very soon after.

I'm guessing with all the changes they're making and how much everyone rages even for minor things that they'll want the system changes as far away from the expansion release as possible. It's going to take a bit for everyone live-side to get used to the new talent trees and gear stat changes.

That and I can't recall them ever pushing two stages of a patch within a week. :)

I've been on the PTR and still haven't been able to get on long enough to test anything as it took a week to get our 80's over then they wiped them and cleared the data, Transfer's only started working again today so when I get home will be the first time in the 2 weeks I've been able to get on and do anything. That's the only reason I didn't think they were close enough to releasing it as I didn't think they had much testing done.

The PTR builds are branched milestones. They're often behind internal development as they go through internal QA to make sure they at least work for public testing. Last week's test realm had serious issues with professions for copied characters but I'm sure they've fixed that... I think they usually leave the PTR up for a few weeks after its respective build goes live.

Well that sucks, I only downloaded the full 16 gig again last night

Don't toss it quite yet. I could be way off in my prediction.

My WoW folder is 16.6 gigs excluding all the folders except Data, so I'm guessing the 4.0 patch won't be too big since the PTR doesn't data doesn't seem include the Cacaclysm assets.

Yeah I know. I had the same reaction.

I haven't, just been playing a lot of Starcraft recently, still playing her sometimes though. Was hoping for loremaster before this patch hit but cant be bothered with my last 100 quests :p

Here is a Hilarious Beta Blooper for you if you are interested. Some guy tries to test the new Worgen "running wild" spell, However instead of leveling one to 20 he takes a 80 and changes it race to worgan where hilarity ensues as he cannot turn into a worgen just check it out its Hilarious.

[Spookie]

"Worgen as intended" - Oof. :p

[Sethos]

God, so I copied the stage patches into the WoW folder and wanted to hash check it with the background downloader - It's checking at a rate of less than 1MB/s ... Useless piece of software!
