This thread if very long, and up front I will admit I didn't read all of it. As such, I apologize if this has already been addressed.
I was one of those who attempted to log in today and found the 1.2 patch waiting for me. I downloaded it, and like many others, got stuck in a loading screen afterwards. Having closed the program and reopened it, I discovered the launcher was prompting me to re-download the entire game again starting with Main Assets 1.
As per Allison Berryman's post here I see that if I want to play today, I have to "re-download the client". I am assuming that means the entire game, which is something I'd like to avoid if possible.
My question is this: If I wait until tomorrow and try to log in, will I still be prompted to download the 11GB Main Assets 1, or will it just let me in, seeing as how I've already (at least seemingly) downloaded the patch today?
Any help, in simple English, would be fantastic. Again, my apologies if this has been clarified and I missed it.
