think they will fix "additional instances cannot be launched" bullshit?

[Jin84]

Weird, they ask us to go to their forums for details, but none can be found.

[Simca]

Yeah, hopefully they release more info soon.

Has a blue post, but it contains MAC fixes.

I'm beginning to think it's just a fix for Mac users.

You should try upgrading a bottlenecked database cluster some time. =)

[Xiangu]

Maybe a fix of some/all of the bugs listed in here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...24982313&sid=1 ?

:O

Just logged out, so I'll be patching a little later

[danoob]

i concur with mac bug fixes.

I'd rather shoot myself in the face.

I still love how people think plugging in a couple more servers would fix the problem.

[Putress]

Nice bug fix, the only thing this did to me was break wow.

"The file "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft\Uninstall.xml.temp" could not be created. If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (InstallerFile::Create)"

Great :\

[Jin84]

And eh, I hadn't realised News Alerts on Login screen stopped happening.

PC users are forced to update mainly because of version numbering. We can't have two different versions just because we use a PC and others Mac.

This better fix the mob positioning bug. Haven't played for 2 days because it's just way too annoying. Or did they fix it already? >.>

[Tribalwar]

Yeah that whole mob positioning is a pain in the butt for an Enhance shaman, the tank is taking WAY to much time to position the mobs then building aggro. God only knows how many times I come in like a bat out hell and die because the tank hasn't positioned the mob just right >.<. I have learned to chill a few seconds before I go crazy, but jeeze this sucks.....

I wouldn't be going all out, but I am so used to the tanks in my guild that can just grab hate right off the bat and I don't have to worry about aggro.

PLEASE Blizzard help me save on repair bills and fix this evil bug!

[Nieker]

datamine it for the new xmas gift from santa :O

[magicism]

Oh thank god, they are finally nurfing MACs.

[Offhand]

I can deal with extended maintenance time on their end to fix stuff.

Failure to apply patch please reinstall makes me rage.

Maybe this is what Angry German Kid was freaking out about.

That's not a bug - that's hardware shortage for the given time.

[pinkduck]

That's not a bug - that's hardware shortage for the given time.

Unfortunately if it were a hardware shortage, it would be a lot easier to fix. Blizzard has enough money to buy tons and tons of servers. But there are a lot of limitations when it comes to enterprise scale load problems. You can't just throw money at it and hope it fixes. :P
