“He that can have Patience, can have what he will” -Benjamin Franklin
The big updatepack is almost, if not the biggest, subject going around in Ruin nowadays. A lot of speculation is going around it and a lot of questions have been asked about it. This is a thread about the upcoming updatepack which will explain you what it is and what it does. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I 'enjoyed' writing this. Please do know that information here is subject to change once we reach closer to the release of the updatepack.
A few quick facts about the Big Updatepack which should sum up with it is:
- - A whole new core written from scratch (0% if you do not get 'scratch'), in comparation to the current Ruin core the new one includes 3x or more fixes and working features
- Working mastery
- Fully working arenas
- Overall spell fixes for every class, including talent trees fixes (not every spell will be fixed, but a great deal of them will be)
- Possible Wintergrasp and Island of Conquest battleground fixes (Strand of the Ancients requires more time but is certainly something for after the updatepack)
- The 'grey' pet bar bug will be gone
- Many more things which I litteraly cannot fit in this post because of this being such a big updatepack
Current ETA: Delayed due to Blizzard's Hotfix, new ETA will be available soon.
Still being corrected: Mastery works 80%
This section will include some of the most asked questions.
Q: Does this updatepack mean we will be going 4.1/4.2/4.3?
A: No, this does not. We will keep Ruin at 4.0.6a for now.
Q: Do I have to download any patches or anything to connect once the big updatepack goes live?
A: Not at all, the changes will apply once you log in when the update is applied.
Q: Why is this updatepack taking so long, it was announced around November?
A: There are two ways to answer that question, one is that we announced it way ahead of time to make sure to include bugfixes for big bugs that we might have missed if we did not ask you, the second way is because this is a whole new core made from 0%/scratch which explains why the wait time is long. New content is added to it each day but we want to make sure it is stable enough before we release it.
Q: Will Running Wild be fixed?
A: At this point I have to say no, we haven't had the time yet to take a proper look at it. There are many more things that require our attention.
Q: What!? DELAY!? When are we going to get it now?!
A: I feel your pain, thanks to Blizzard's 'hotfix' we have been delayed due to it making clients unable to connect to private servers. A new ETA will be released soon and the only thing that is still broken is mastery.
Q: Why has our favorite developer DJScias not been online lately?
A: Because this cute guy has been working non-stop on this updatepack which severly limits his time, he also has to combine this with other projects and Real Life. But he'll be sure to drop by, even if we have to force him.
I hope this helps you all out and don't forget that everything on this page is subject to changes as we near the release of the updatepack.
