Hello Everyone has your Downloader started yet ?

[Kalliope]

I'll check on the wasps when I pass through Tanaris and will make sure to detour to a zone with hellboars when I get to Outland.

I can't check Gezz myself easily; I didn't farm the mats on Kalli. :/

[Vephriel]

No worries, just checked myself. Farmed up the 10 scrolls asap and summoned her, but sadly nothing. Hive Queen isn't tameable either, and apparently Felboars are not, so all in all there are no new Cata skins available. (repeating myself from other thread, but just in case people are checking here)

Beetles and Tanaris wasps are still not flagged as beasts on live.

man, this installer is taking a while... and then there's ANOTHER download?...

my alchemy competition is gonna eat me alive...

LOL, Blizz changed the cooldowns on gems.. up to 4 hrs 15 min, instead of removing them.. many alchemists with dreams of riches just got punked, lol (and yeah, I'm one of them).

That's DOWN from the day long cd from before. It's an improvement.

There's multiple stages of activation today.

First, the bit of patch that needs to download goes on your comp.

Once there, it hooks up with your previously-downloaded bits of patch and starts to install. This part takes a while.

Then you get the SHINY NEW Cataclysm launcher splash screen. Once there, you have about 1.4 gig worth of data to download. Since it's the Cata launcher, you'll actually be able to get in before it finishes downloading, but with the servers still down, you might as well let it finish.

You should always let it finish anyway. Playing with some files incomplete is a plain bad idea.

I'm with Saturo on this. I had my PTR download corrupt TWICE to the point of needing to be reinstalled because I didn't fully download before trying to fly out of Tanaris. Flew over the water and BAM, corrupted files.
