Still downloading here as well. Missing out on tonight's Ops with the guild...

I thought I left this crap behind when I vowed never to play an SOE game again. Hopefully BW will prove they are better than SOE, hopefully.

More bad news, well at least it wasnt introduced half-***:

Hey everybody,

It is with great reluctance that I have to announce Ranked Warzones are not going live with Game Update 1.2: Legacy. We had a fantastic run of testing on the Public Test Server and I can’t begin to thank the community enough for their tireless advocacy for this feature and the time people took to file bugs and voice their concerns.

After careful consideration, it is clear that to make Ranked Warzones the feature we all want it to be is going to take a bit more time. I apologize for any disappointment this may cause and ask for your patience as we work to make sure the Ranked Warzone Preseason launch is polished and fun. With Legacy, the new Warzone, Operation, and Flashpoint, as well as many other amazing features of Game Update 1.2 ready to go, we're very excited for tomorrow's additions.

In the future we'll be rolling the Ranked Warzone Preseason out in phases, listening carefully to player feedback and making adjustments as we go. The first phase will be full team, eight-player queuing only and from there we'll look at next steps as Preseason progresses. In the meantime we have provided an alternate purchase route for War Hero gear so you can start building your set while figuring out your teams.

Next conspiracy theory, please.
Just wondering. Can't say I had checked the time stamps. I'm mostly just venting while waiting on a download.

Next anally retentive man, please.

Well here is the announcement about it.

More information based on questions we're seeing frequently. Again, we sincerely apologize if you were inconvenienced by this issue.

1. If you are currently re-downloading the client, and are in initial "downloading" phase (around 11GB), you can exit the launcher to interrupt this download and play 1.2 tomorrow without having to complete it. If you reach any "installing" phase, you will need to complete the re-download.

2. It is fine to log in and play normally right now - the window in which players could be affected was brief.

3. If you started or completed the download and want to play today, you can re-install from your physical discs (but you will need to patch up to 1.1.5, the most recent live version).

4. If you re-download the client today, you will not have to re-download the full client tomorrow.

I take it that if you are at the point where you are re downloading the client thats about 11GB-11.60GB you can wait until tormmrow when 1.2 is released if you want to avoid re downloading the client again.
