big patch incomming
« on: September 02, 2008, 05:32:46 PM »
just been reading the latest patch notes on the beta forum and all i can say it is massive in content and updates looks like the pre OB patch which i think i heard was around 3gig in size theres too much to copy and paste but they say these notes will be posted on war europe soon.

i could be wrong about the size but that was the figure floating round in beta.

in beta we were upto patch 3.3 and the new one is patch 4.1 so quite abit of work has been done since beta finished although there are ppl in the states still beta testing.

sure i saw somewhere on the europe site that the pre OB patch would be roughly 3 gig so makes sense
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

one of the things from the patch notes

doing specific tasks from the TOK  bestiary section you can unlock rewards

cloaks
pocket items
armour set items
tactics
trophies

these can be collected from the librarian in capitol citys once the task has been completed.

Awesome, stuff for explorer types :)

That give possibly valid and useful rewards.

just been told on beta forums there was a cockup on the GOA forums and the patch notes will not be posted.
mythic were not happy at all about GOA showing us the patch notes.

just seen a post by one of the GOA guys seems the 3gig patch is mainly voice and language packs which is going to  be an optional install and they are not making it available until sometime next week.

so i would think the patch notes i saw and are now scattered across the net are for a pre-live or after patch.
or its a smaller patch before OB i think i heard the yanks say something about a patch of under 1gig.

At least they're saying a page will be up for open beta to begin. They are learning how to speak. :D
On one hand I'm an impatient customer. On the other hand I know there's a lot of stuff going on we have no idea about that's causing all of this to be so late.

So the WAR-Eu site has slowed to a crawl, its either people spamming it to see if they have added Account Management yet, or its GOA actual doing something :D
