Can't wait to see what it brings.

I have no idea what's supposed to be in this patch, but it's a new one in the 4.0 realm, so it must be something pretty radical.

1. Meh. I'd rather get Fallout: New Vegas.
After the amazing experience that was Fallout 3, I've got high expectations. Bethesda had better deliver.

13. Unfortunately NV is being made by Obsidian.
If it's anything like their last 2 RPGs (KOTOR2, NWN2), we're all going to be disappointed.

21. Gothic 4 changed its release date to coincide with F:NV
Dumb move; would have moved more units to gamers filling the week until F:NV came out.

(Not a gamer - live with one)

2. Huge changes
In preparation of Cataclysm. They're changing talent trees and stuff. I've actually canceled both of my accounts due to the fact I don't like the changes (they don't look fun to me) and the fact we're trying to open our own business. (Mostly the latter, but the former does play into it.)

3. Somebody just sold me it for $15.--
on Second Life. I don't really know what to do with it, but she was cute, and she needed the money for clothing.

5. Yes, of course.
She wants people to having clothing, too. I mean, at least covering the anal-glandular-garlic-secretion-beam. Is that too much to ask? :sh rug:

BTW, you want a 5 GB War of Worldcraft patch? Sure would look nice in your garden. Do you have PalPay?

6. I'd rather negotiate with a cute avatar in need of clothing on Second Life.
You're European. You understand.

9. Haven't you read the patch notes, dear?
It is very interesting. Talents have been overhauled, mana regen has been changed, a bunch of random stuff and a lot of it is no good.

10. Yeah, I ended up reading the notes while waiting for the thing to download
and install and download more shit and install some stuff...

I thought a lot of those changes weren't being made until Cataclysm actually comes out. Bit of a surprise to me.

12. These changes...
Were made so people had the chance to get used to them before Cataclysm.

18. I was redoing my new, shitty talent tree, and earthquakes kept rumbling around...
Looks like the dragon is anxious to escape. i don't know. I'm going to try it today, but if it doesn't work, I may abscond myself.

17. Oh, my - SOteric! I was thinking of you early, and of how much I've missed you.
And than, bam, there you are!

I thought you'd left us.

19. Christ, yes, it really is all different. And they reduced the font size just a bit
I could easily read the stuff before, but found myself needing to get just a little closer to the screen to read the text in the new talent trees, the character info tab, and so on. The chat pane is the same size, but I'd bet good money that everything else got reduced slightly.

Pain in the ass.

No more need for ammo? I had to pay again to get bear form for my level 80 druid? Had to pay 17g for something else that my druid already had...

My hunter no longer has an area of effect attack... pain in the ass.

20. How much space does that game take up now?
My hubby used by old laptop for WOW but was running slow...I made him uninstall because it took over 20GB of my 60GB drive.

I know, I'm a bitch! He'll be reinstalling when the new expansion comes out!

22. I'd like to say "all of it", lol. But on my computer, it's 27.3GB.
And to think that just 12 years or so ago, people were saying, "What would you need with a hard drive bigger than 10GB? That's just crazy!!"
