Legion Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[AngryCoco]

Well, when I copied my regular WoW folder over to the PTR to make the download smaller, it was a 20gb patch to get it up to speed. This IS the entire prepatch!

[FenixAU]

i didnt get anything.

It'll show up eventually. It's there.

[Raetary]

It'll show up eventually. It's there.

it was there the entire time lol, just wasnt paying attention.

[effs]

WoD is nearly over guis!

[Sfinna]

Considering that Legion is virtually complete from a development perspective (what's left is mostly just quest adjustments, bug fixes, and class tuning) - the pre-patch is pretty much the entirety of Legion. It's certainly not just art :P It's everything.

What about that General Turalyon NPC with the PH Model Tag?

All I can say is "Finally"
Im looking forward to what Legion has to offer

[warlockblood]

so with a 20gb pre-download happening. How many weeks do we still have left before the pre-patch hits. I still need to run a friend through ubrs cm gold and i'm having a panic attack at this rate!

My Download Disappeared and has yet to return. RIP the Dream.

[Caerule]

This is a bit of an idle question, as it likely doesn't predict much.

But does anyone have the data on how long in advance pre-patches are usually on the background downloader?

restart client, it should fix it.

I said virtually, don't be pedantic :P One or two models here and there isn't a big deal, nor a substantial amount of data. They'll either remove the PH tag and leave him as is, or throw the model in the final minor patch the week before Legion launch.

20 GB of art? M8 are you crazy? :P



EXTERMINATE!

they went into the metadata and filled it with junk code until the files were huge

(have seen people do this. lolllll)

Few weeks up to months. In the past they even split it into parts over several weeks.

Thats ALOT of junk code.

atleast 2 weeks and 6 days.
We have not yet had the 2 week pvp notice and that will most likely come on a tuesday so...

[emilylorange]

maybe it's META meta data and they c&pd all the salt that's accumulated here since yesterday so that when people datamine it they can get meta meta meta pissed

[Krom2040]

This is a pretty minor question that will probably get lost in all the HYPE, but... I'm planning to switch one of my professions on my main from mining to engineering, since engineering is obviously more fun. Does it make sense to keep mining while I'm leveling for the first few weeks of Legion, so that I can have blacksmithing crafting materials while they're in high demand and expensive, or is there a benefit to having engineering earlier/while I'm leveling?

A PTR build deploy? I smell happyland! Unless I'm reading into nothing... Hard to tell :/

i still don't get it why we need this notice, even the lazy pvp people should know that the season will end ^^

( i know they do it so no one will shitpost about it)
