[B]This is NOT the Beta. This is the patch that will be on live servers before cataclysm comes out. Will contain Guild leveling, 31 point talent trees, and a few more changes which i am unsure of at the moment![/B]
World of Warcraft Patch 4.0.1 has hit the Public Test Realms.
[B]Server Status: Offline[/B]
The Character Copy page is accepting transfers, however it won't work at the moment as servers are not yet online. Please wait until confirmation before attempting to transfer your characters, lest they get lost in the Nether.
The new and improved Cataclysm Launcher is now available for download. You may need to download this launcher from scratch. Be warned however that the client weighs in at 15.6 Gigabytes.

The initial updater has a habit of sticking at 4% for a while too, this is normal. It will eventually skip to 100% and start the download process.
The updater seems to be a little buggy, don't be surprised if it acts extremely odd.
If you are getting a message stating "The installer does not need to be applied. It requires a version of "Wow.exe" older than 4.0.0.12635, but you already have version 4.0.1.12942.", your Cataclysm Beta installation is conflicting with your PTR installation attempt. You can rename the Beta folder to something else and it should allow you to install the PTR.
One last thing, you should let the launcher update non-stop until it finishes, there is a chance it may lose data if you try to play the game when it's not completed, and you may have to re-download gigabytes of data.

Whats the point in a sub forum if everything gets shoved into the megathread?
Having a thread for the more important things makes them easier to find.

Also, x-site posting from MMOC:
[quote=some guy on mmoc]After watching the interview with Chilton again, i'm 99% sure this is how it'll play out:
We will have the pre-cata patch including class changes etc. This patch will also include all new world data, but it will stay hidden in the gamefiles. (This is the patch we are downloading atm) During this time, there will be a lot of pre-cata events showing all the lore changes. This phase will last a month or so.
Then, a couple of weeks before release, Blizz will bring the servers down and activate the cataclysm (we allready downloaded the data). When we log on, we will be greeted with the cinematic showing Deathwing smahing everything, and the old world will be changed with all the new low level content in. This is the version that people who don't buy the expansion will have.
After a couple of weeks the actual expansion is relasead. The people who buy this will get access to worgen, goblins and 80+ content.[/quote]
Most likely how it will play out

if i was able to remove this shithole i would.
holy shit the new updater is sexy as FUCK (yes i know late but I haven't been on the beta so this is my first time seeing it)
haww shit this is gonna be good
US PTR is up.
Do we still have to fully download the test client or will the streaming work?
I know what it says in OP, but that was before it was out.
[editline]08:45PM[/editline]
Also, what test server/faction are we going to be rocking?
The streaming works.
Well, I sent a Horde and Alliance character to the PvP server. (Broxigar - US)
Mine stuck on 100%, I deleted the folder and I'm about to redownload it, hope it works.
[editline]12:23AM[/editline]
How do you stream?
[editline]12:24AM[/editline]
Still stuck on 100%

700th post woot
I wish this also counted as the retail client as well... Gonna be annoying downloading this again.
I wish my freakin account was active so I could post on the forums about my download issues!
downloading at 150 kb/s FML

Once you get to the updater, get in-game because it'll stream from there.
[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;24771687]Once you get to the updater, get in-game because it'll stream from there.[/QUOTE]
its still in the red, how much do i have to download before i can stream? done about 500 mb so far
[QUOTE=Hendo;24771745]its still in the red, how much do i have to download before i can stream? done about 500 mb so far[/QUOTE]
I think once you hit the yellow tickmark on the download bar, you'll be good. It takes only a few minutes, even with crappy download speeds. Your play button will be activated when its ready.
been downloading for a while now, im pretty sure i have to download 15gb first :froggonk:
I got in as soon as I got in the yellow.
Also it's your internet going slow, I was downloading at a smooth 1.2MB/s earlier.
10 days wait for character copying? That's got to be a mistake
[QUOTE=Itszutak;24773141]10 days wait for character copying? That's got to be a mistake[/QUOTE]
Considering the PTR just started a few hours ago... yes, that is.
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the servers are up. Still don't see any of my transferred characters.
This is probably a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway, does my account have to have game time for me to use the PTR?
I'm getting an error when trying to install the PTR
[QUOTE] The shortcut "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\World of Warcraft Public Test\Blizzard Technical Support.lnk" could not be created. The file "TechSupport.url" could not be found.

Google doesn't help.
[QUOTE=Sexy.EXE;24773445]This is probably a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway, does my account have to have game time for me to use the PTR?[/QUOTE]
I haven't had any in a few months, and I can play just fine.
i got to the yellow and played for about an hour then closed it and reopened the launcher to continue downloading and the progress bar went back a bit and its in the red again wtf
Boring PTR is boring
