Yayo! There's a new WoW patch which just came out today, click here for patch detail. Laggy, Cora, and Aron, let's go to Maraudon.

Oh and Gunny, I guess they heard your plead.

A "Looking for Group" channel has been added. Additional improvements in looking for group functionality will be added in future patches.

Blizzard's BT is too slow.

Do you have to download the patch to play? I don't think I have the patience to wait really long for it.

Considering that WoW installation takes roughly an hour, you should be used to all the waiting

Freak's link helped, saved me the hassle of downloading the 40MB patch from Blizzard at 7k/sec...

Got a good group just this very evening, actually.

I was on the WOW tech support forum and it seems like A LOT of people are having a lot of trouble with this patch. Isn't there something that blizzard can do? I'm getting really nervous, I have the game but don't have a credit card or game card (waiting for christmas) to play it. But I made a fatal mistake by opening it and installing it to see if there would be an error on the installation(there was none). But it sounds like the patch is making the game unplayable. Everywhere I go there are so many people complaining(except here). Has these problems not happened to anyone here?

Yes, many people will have problems installing the patch, that's how it always is with new Blizzard game patches. However, it is NOT the fault of the patch itself, since more people can install it just fine. Blizzard handles the problem by giving people certain steps to follow, which work for most people (if they didn't they wouldn't suggest the steps). If there really is a problem inherent to the latest patch, Blizzard will let people on the forum know.

If you stick to the system-maintenance guidelines I posted in your other thread, you won't have any problems. Do not let the number of people on the forum complaining about the patch make you think that it doesn't work for anyone.

A lot of the people that have problems with patching of games/games in general are running pirated versions of windows that cant get certain updates that are required for the game/patch to run Properly

You wouldn't go to a message board to complain how your game is working perfectly fine, would you?

Anyone have a link to the patch I can download?



Posted by: Canis Lupus

Wait about 10 minutes, then try this link:
http://www.opentechsupport.net/down...-patch-enUS.exe

That's only the latest patch, which is the bigger one. I'll leave that one online until I wake up later tonight. Again, wait 10 minutes before downloading, coz I'm still uploading it...

The patch before that is here:
http://www.opentechsupport.net/down...-patch-enUS.exe

but that prolly won't be done for another 20 or so minutes (since it's queued after the one above. Anyway, I am sure our server is gonna be faster in serving these files than Blizzard.

When youb get in the game, make sure to add "Canislupus" to your friends list so that you can catch me when I come online and add you to the guild... cya there later...



Posted by: Bobaroo

Alright I got all the files (blizzard torrent at !5+KB/sec not bad.)

I will be one throughout the day

Theres a whooooole bunch of stuff not in the patch notes. On the WoW Community Forums there was a big post of all the stuff not in the patch notes, over 50 things total. I hope they arent going to make that habbit, because the first time I logged in after patching, I immidately saw about 4 different things and a couple confused me.

Also, Target Nearest somehow had its range reduced to 'RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU' which is annoying, cuz I use that quite a bit. Its bound to my mouse back button.
