Q u o t e:
I think it's that way due to inflation. 2 cents just don't have the purchasing power it used to.

Ok, let's do some critical thinking.

Did Eyonix refer to the content patch as 1.13?

The content patch is not 1.13. There will not be a 1.13, as the EU CM stated.

However, there will be a content patch before the expansion. It will simply not be called 1.13, which would be a continutation of content patches for WoW, pre-expansion. The content patch will be for the expansion, which will likely be dubbed 2.0.

The two statements quoted by the OP do not, in fact, conflict.

The core of the matter is one of labels.
Logic ftw ;-)

Q u o t e:


Didn't you mean "I speak jive"?

It's slang in the television adaptation.

At the nubile age of 22 I didn't see it in theatres and finding a cassette of a movie that old is like getting a druid out of catform in a BG. I guess that's my only excuse.

Q u o t e:


The actual installation of expansion is not a patch.


I dont care what you want to label it as, my question is"

So, between now and when expansion comes out this pre expansion thingy, when will it go to PTR?, or will it? and do you have a gueestamation, when said thingy will be patched in game?

So basically we get the non-level 70 non-outlands non-jewelcrafting non-new races parts of the expansion (that we'd get if we didn't buy it anyway) before the expansion comes out. Cool!

Wait a sec, calm down and read what you just typed, you completly changed his words, took it out of context and now conflicts with your own self.

First, "The 1.13 content was carried over BC." in the context it appeared (thread asking when next PTR would be) means the next content patch, REGARDLESS OF NUMBER was being discarded and whatever that would be patched before BC was included in the expansion itself. The number 1.13 appeared to clarify the subject since it's a natural assumption that the next patch would have such numbering. The way they call it makes no sense, they are still refering to the same thing.

Secondly, you just said
"there will be a content patch before the expansion."
and
"The content patch will be for the expansion" (and not for the current wow)
How does these 2 sentences make sense together? This is at least confusing if not conflicting.

Please clarify yourself, what is a "patch for the expansion, before the expansion that will bring new content to the non-expansion game but isn't a non-expansion patch"? Because honestly it just looks to us that you guys are trying to make up excuses off the top of your head to keep us playing until BC, since we already notice that there is NOTHING to do today that won't be outdated 1 week after BC release (which was the original topic that started this mess).

Yet, it is given a client version. . .

You know. . .

2.0 like it is in beta?

I think you're trying to mince words here and it's just confusing the hell out of us.


please turn your brain ON before posting in the future.

They have these little shiny round things called DVDs now. I hear they're quite useful for tracking down old films on.

The DVD of Airplane! is actually well worth it if you're fond of the movie.

Ok, one more time with feeling...

What it seems that people are expecting is another content patch that is independant of the expansion. More specifically, a lot of folks seem to be looking for a free content patch, should they choose not to purchase the expansion.

This is not happening. Therefore, the EU CM is correct in saying there will be no 1.13. We will not be patching the original version of WoW any further.

What we are doing is upgrading the game client to 2.0. This is what happens in an expansion.

The patch 2.0 is going to prepare for the expansion. We will release more specifics about what is in that at a later time. For now, consider it as the patch that allows players who don't have the expansion to keep playing with players who do. If we were to fully upgrade to expansion, players who did not get the expansion on release day would be shafted until such a time as they upgraded. We do not want this, so we have a prepatory patch which will bridge between the two versions of WoW.

Therefore, patch 2.0 will be released shortly prior to the release of expansion boxes. There will be no patch 1.13.

Don't get your nether in a twist.

Q u o t e:



I thought this also at first, until I considered the absurdity of having a content patch after 1.12 that was not, in fact, called 1.13.

What on Earth would the reasoning be for not giving it the next name in the sequence?


The answer is right there in front of you!
It is to save face.
Since the 2 CMs contradicted each other. Tseric can juggle words to his heart's content, but what remains is the spirit of what the CMs said. Yeah, Eyonix never SAID 1.13, but it was assumed. What the EU CM said was in spirit refering to a content patch prior to TBC.

So basically you're saying, stop playing until BC comes out, unlike the jovial optimism of Emonix this morning?

Q u o t e:
I know.. wtf?

What CM is lying?


There's no evidence that either CM lied. Perhaps one was mistaken, but unless you can demonstrate an intent to decieve, then you have no reason to believe anyone lied.
