Auto patcher is slow

SweetieBot, you are too helpful.

Maybe.

*New forges in Archosaur allow you to reforge and upgrade max-level gear, including Rank IX and Warsoul items.

^ From the updated patch notes.

Quick question: Was this a typo? In PW-CN afaik the forges only had upgraded R8R, not R9. Are we getting R9 upgrades instead?

Sweetiebot is our resident happy troll... it's okay to expect a lot from her and her wisecrack snarky replies are part of the deal.

Shall I tell you something about trolls? I am glad that is it OK.

Just please... tell me you are gonna save Aximals' memorial trainee at South Archosaur trainers corner. TBH all of those trainers gotta stay there as memorial!

Will there be more character slots added?

7 days to delete a character is just really annoying. I just found out about the expansion 2 days ago.

I am dreaming about huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge wardrob. reachable from any char on the account. it makes me crazy, when i have to account stash fash back and forward, or when i am mixing sets i am forced to search trough all alts to find right boots. b:cry

This makes me think that an auto-sorting button in the wardrobe section would be great.

Maintenance Question: If you could have 1 new thing in this expansion, that has never existed before in PWI, what would it be and why?

Let's see here... I think personally I'd like to see a boss that takes way too long for one simple squad to kill and requires several that can enter one instance. Maybe given 1 billion hp? with always random drops so it doesn't go to one squad.

Hi all asking about a Manual patch. If surtr or who ever needs to do do, does not update the system used, Sweetiebot will never find the correct patch if it is there. This has happened in the past and it has had to be updated so her program can find it. I hope who ever needs to do so does so soon so we can all download the patch. I also do not like the patcher way of doing it and with everyone trying to download this large update as soon as they can, there will be a lot of lag trying to use the patcher and depending on your PC, could take hours to do. I will ask Sweetie to look again, but I think we will just get the same link to an old patch until their system is updated. Have a great one all and have fun.b:thanks

SweetieBot, please find the manual patch.


Edit: I started to write this before Sparkie put up his above post. I guess we shall have to see if a miracle occurs and we get a manual patch before we are all forced to use the patcher to update. I am not looking forward to hours of downloading and not be able to use my PC in fear of interfering with such a large update.

The latest manual patch is here: Patch 816-817
This is the newest one that's officially listed and I don't see anything newer.

We have to get China to make those for us, and lately they haven't been doing it for us. I've poked them once again to get us one, since this patch is pretty big.

Here's to hoping they send one. Is there at least an estimate of the size of the expansion?
