By Blizz, they won't even address the issue of not releasing a manual patch for the latest version. They said it would be *slightly* delayed after the patcher release and its been a week already. Its not that hard to get the files out in a stand alone patcher, I don't care about bugs in the new patch, whats the point if you can't even log in?

They are probably not releasing it outside the patcher due to the way the new patcher works... it breaks it into 3 segment so that (since its a really big patch) you can logon when its in the yellow... I think its a nice patcher but I would hate to be on dialup with it.... I remember when downloading the beta client for Ragnarok Online took 24 hours to download and the dang download kept screwing up.... took almost a week to get it.....

If Blizzard was releasing patches on some non p2p mirror too, I'd have them downloaded much faster. Nothing is more annoying than downloading a huge patch with speed of a snail and then get some CRC error as a reward.

I've given up, my $15 got me a total of 6 days, which is utter bollocks. Blizz can sit on their game and spin.
