Big patch coming up 24/11/2010 Cata

From the Tom Chilton Interview on MMO-Champ

How is The Shattering going to happen? Should we expect an epic ending to the pre-Cataclysm event and elemental invasions?
TC: The culmination, we're already at the final stage of the event that builds up to The Shattering. The final "event" is the in-game cinematic. And that's really what the transition is for players, that players will play through this event that's building up and then at some point... just because of the realities of the code, we have to flip a switch.

So we're going to be doing that during maintenance when The Shattering happens, and so when players log back in for the first time, it's a very small patch for players, and be introduced to the cinematic.

anybody know the actual size of tomorrows download?
 
well all i hurd was the patch is gonna be Huge.. and considering the europeans uncapped / faster internet than us :p im expecting it to be 1g + atleast lol ive only got 1.5 gigs left for the rest of the month :p
 
Why would it be huge? The last patch (4.0.3) was over a gig for me and there were no changes to the game that week. Therefore it was clearly just shipping data for 4.0.3a. Why is everyone thinking this is going to be a big one? They just need to turn it on, it's all sitting on your computer already ;)

I know this is off topic but, are the epics going to be made blues and the blues greens etc? It was like that with previous expansions? Or am I mistaken.
 
Umm, they will stay epics (purple). When people talk in this manner they are refering to the fact that the new expansion greens are as powerful as the old epics. But I find that it is generally the new blues that will replace the old raid purples in stats.

Ah right ok, I see what you mean. I just thought that the epics should be "refreshed" ie: get rid of the 10 other million epics :p.

LOL, if it is like what I experienced when I started playing WOW after LK, got the updated client from a friend, and thought that I need to install the game for all the registries that need to be installed. It took me a couple of gig's updates back and ended up downloading the updates anyway. But I learned my lesson, make backups :P
