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.

If thats actually true it just points at how unready BW was at creating an MMO. Alpha/Beta bugs still in Live version 5 months in and accidentally screw an unknown amount of people with early patches, now they wait till the night of the patch to mention that oh yea we had to remove a feature you begged and we promised. It was more of a ninja subtraction, but were covering ourselves with this hidden post.

Aye, it's true. Here's the link to the original:

My 11+Gig download completed, it installed, then it did a 1200 Mg download and that is installing. Ever ending, I think

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.

According to Bioware. Yes, since you've already downloaded the 1.2 patch this morn and didnt "install" the client(11GB) all over again. Your game is patched as 1.2 right now and ready to go, just need the servers loaded with the patch.

edit: If you did happen to download & install the 11GB client, you would still have to download all patches up to the current 1.1.5 and then download 1.2 again tomorrow when its officially released.

No problem . Again this is how it would work and claims to be according to BW. If they happen to change something on last notice with patch 1.2 to address something else or wahtever, who knows what we will have to download. lol

Since I was affected by this leaked patch, I decided to just leave the game patched and just take the day off from the game. I can still talk to friends & guildies in vent. Although I can't pick up the purple crystal I been saving for.
