what an update is this what are we downloading I am waiting for hours while facing "Kaineng Center" loading screen

Yes the update is mostly for Nightfall preview, because we will get a few new areas and can play with the 2 new professions, and its better if downloading starts now, not when it comes out because then there will be too many people downloading at same time.

Lol

I thought WFT after a 22M update then start with my warrior who it seems to have lost it's 15k armour!!! (I hope it's just a glitch with update) Then 4,300 files while on the loading screen to iron mines.

I guess there's 1 or 2 fixes in this patch

Lol

When I loaded up today, just to sit at the character select screen, I thought my Ranger had lost his Canthan 15k set (!!). Turns out it was just a glitch and it eventually loaded his armor along with the correct colorings.

The char selection screen always glitches with the armor styles. ALWAYS (every day, every week, every minute, every second my Monk shows the wrong armor - various stlyes and colorings).

The "Showing Pre-sear armor" is something that has ALWAYS happened with updates this huge for some reason (needed with the factions update too)

The reason for the armor errors is simple: You're loading the textures. Think of pre-searing armor as a placeholder for all the other stuff. While you load those textures (which is delayed due to the update), that is placed there instead. I mean, you wouldn't want a big "Under Construction" guy plastered over your body would you?

XD
