    Question Patch 4.0

    In the patch notes of the PTR says that there is the change to the old world and we can reach lvl85. but in the PTR we can only see the UI changes and the class changes. The patch is 15gb so is impossible that this two change require 15gb of patch. so, this is also patch 4.0 background downloader?
    Thank you for the answer. this is the first PTR that I've download.

    ok the front page still has the correct info might need to scroll down a bit now tho. basically , teh PTR is both just the class/talent/ui changes and is still 15gb.
    when you Dl teh PTR you are not patching your existing game you are installing a parallel copy in essence you simply have 2 versions of wow. so even if all they do on a PTR release is change one colour hair pigment by 1 value it would still be the full 15gb download.

    the confusion isnt helped by the fact your also left looking at the beta DL screen for cata while downloading the PTR that throws a lot pf people off i think.

    I was under the impression the 15gb was because this was an entirely new client, not just a 15gb "patch".

    PTR (Public Test Realm) shouldn't be confused with the Beta (Tryout phase 2 of Cataclysm) which both are on patch 4.0.1 however the PTR is only to test stuffs at our current level, meaning at 80. Also because the PTR is NOT Cataclysm we are NOT allowed to test any of the new zones/races/proffessions. We are only allowed to test changes to the characters and/or items. PTR is installed seperately from your normal World of Warcraft client because the changes for characters in 4.0.1 can't be installed seperately from Cataclysm and most likely also because they have to check out that the patch can be handled without all zones being changed into Cataclysm before the event has actually happened etc etc
