Great. Another patch, another risk of having the mods I use be broken. Thankfully a good thing comes with this patch. The developers realized not everyone’s interested in PvPing (as Imperial City will be in the PvP zone), so I’m getting the non-EP patch.
It’s a big one, though. 6GB. I see the installation taking 1-2 hours.
EDIT: That took about 3+ hours. There’s a new splash screen on the main menu. Currently waiting forever to login. 5 minute wait time and I’m finally in. Checking my addon list and everything is listed as ‘Out of Date’. I had Minion auto-update what it could, and now it shows only 5 of the several addons I use are no longer out of date. Hopefully I don’t NEED them to be not out of date for them to work.
So I’m now ingame, and I immediately get an error from one addon. Fuck. On top of that, it seems all my skills have been reset. Feels typical of a major patch in WoW.
Oh yeah. My hotbars have also been resetted! That’s really nice of them…
However, this gives me a chance to respec my Sorcerer(though I don’t know into what). I could also use this to my advantage for my old main DK.
Still, the forced reset wasn’t cool, and also I’m getting studdering when I move and animations happen. Meh. Though I wonder if the second thing can be easily fixed with a restart of my computer.
So I guess either I’m going to be forced to do away with some cool addons, or wait for them to be updated. Because there’s also the chance the author(s) is(are) inactive.
.
EDIT: It seems all but one of the addons I use is still working. Also I’ve been informed that the devs actually had the API released to the addon devs months before the release. So they had plenty of time to update.
Did find a replacement for said addon. Works fine with the patch.
There’s also another issue. It seems it’s now harder to solo even normal mobs. When they do that really annoying knife throw thing (whatever it is), all classes are supposed to have the chance to interrupt it. However, interrupts seem to be somekind of RNG bullshit now instead of being based on the tooltip (where it shows no “has a ##% chance to interrupt casting” listed anywhere).
In other words, I think they just made leveling up as a Veteran even harder. Though it seems not everyone is phased by this. Maybe they’re having too much fun ganking people at the Imperial City.
Or maybe it’s just me. I dunno. It is taking the same speed to kill someone, and I am in need of a desperate upgrade (still using the Level 40 gear given to me by the second guild I joined(All-Star Crafters)).
