This is a record! How did they sneak this in so fast?

Are there any explanations as to what is included at all? Since we've heard not alot, I'm assuming its purely bug fixes, and the online lag thing too, since balance would (or has traditionally) taken longer..

Shhh! That bodes well for some balance re-jigs rather than just an emergency lagfix! Fingers crossed...

THERE ARE NO MIRRORS BECAUSE NO-ONE HAS DOWNLOADED THE PATCH. PLEASE STOP ASKING.

Moe has said that as soon as he gets the patch, he will upload it to a fast server and post the link.

there is no changelog BECAUSE NO-ONE KNOWS THE CHANGES :P

understand my trend?

Ok. I have an idea. Maybe we all stop downloading, to give Moe kick-ass transfer. Then, he'll get the patch faster, and mirrors will appear faster. Get it?

As I said, we're working on it, ok? Nobody told us in advance either, before we can torrent or mirror it we have to download it from the same queue as you guys.

Also, changelog is up.

Hmmmm, overall the changes are positive, but I think SM had 'one' to many negative adjustments.

Good Stuff: Tacmass got killed, big shootas more useful, Eldar slightly fixed

Bad Stuff: IG still suck, Orks suck more because they can't rush as fast.
