So...anybody knows we were able to pre patch the patch.

But why do i have to download over 2000Mb again?


This is totally unlogical and makes no sense. :confused:

    making up words isn't grammar. It's making stuff up.

    well they say size doesnt matter...

    but here Iit says patched: 647,5MB/2143MB
    received: 378MB-30%

    so.. my guess is that the full patch to download is about 1160MB


    only issue I have is that the download is slooooooooow...

    i had the issue where when ever i logged out it tried to re do the pre patch, so every time i logged out i had to cancel it

    and the same thing has happened today. a few people might have got lucky somehow and had it work as intended. who knows

    Yeah maybe the pre patch folder deleted itself and the Launcher created a new pre patch folder everytime u canceled the pre load.
    I don't know and i hope they will have it fixed till the Season 2 Update is coming. :)

    The pre patcher worked fine for me


    But that is because I waited until after 6am PST to start the launcher


    But if you launched before the server was re-started it deleted your pre-patch folder and you had to start from scratch.


    The devs stated that it was their mistake, but I think it demonstrates that people just didn't bother to read the blurb on the launcher about when the server would be down (3am-6am PST). I wanted to patch earlier myself, but I figured they gave us that time frame for a reason, so I waited patiently, and it paid off, I downloaded 120mb and I was in the game.

    Who tries to patch when the server is down?

    Besides, general rule of thumb is that patch days are always full of fun and excitement (with less emphasis on the fun).
