So , back for a while before the patch.
The patch kicked in last night, no warning it just took off.
With the new battlenet loader I got updated last week the background
defaults had reset to p2p.
Response just crashed as it ate bandwidth, 9.9G to download although
people with the beta invites would have it already.
Watch that if you have to manage a quota.
Once options were set the downloader would not reset. A couple of
process halts later it started behaving and pausing during game run and
can be manually paused on the battlenet screen if you need to manage
quota, but the default seems to be to eat it at max bandwidth.
Maybe that was just whatever bug caused it to misbehave at first.
Download rate can be limited in settings, scroll down to the bottom of
the game install/update page.
The loader now complains about the graphics even though it is quite a
few notches above the requirements, less than a year old PC.
Microsoft also complains, it keeps trying to add the same updates and
is a noted error on their support pages. I find running a single monitor
stops it, that is not an option :-)
I got a Sky Golem, the best thing I can say is from the forums
'sky golem=nice ground mount' blech, I can't play pandas because of the
yompityyompity, and golem weaving is worse. I was going to build one
with a month of daily prof mats, but 6k on the AH? no question.
6k is about the ah price of the 30 living steel, let alone the 600
ghost iron , smelting, remembering to do the daily....

sooooo glad I bought it, crafting it myself would have been disappointing.
What was I thinking? I forgot that 98.44726%+-127%% of engineering is
guano.
i.e. it may be quite good for you, but -usually- as useful as getting
dove-bombed
Prices are pretty much random for mats and some items, people clearing
out bankers and happy to get 1/3 price or less. Or people rounding out
characters and willing to pay over the odds for short supply items to
get it done today.
The AH is about 50% more items since it is joined realms, or maybe that
is just returning players.
A lot of bots....a LOT of bots, which could explain the dumping and
weird prices.
