When That Patch Day Download Is SLIGHTLY Too Big: Player Faces 18 Exabyte Download

Staff's Avatar by Staff

We all look forward to some timewalking Fury twink carries, or just pleasant LFG experiences after a hard day at work. But when a dreaded patch day kicks in and delays our WoW hit, it can get annoying pretty fast. And then there’s the moment when Speaker Brinthe hijacks your PC to download and store the entire Earthen Archive on it and then some.

The Patch

This is exactly what happened to NotInMyBingoCardXD with this hilarious display glitch. Imagine getting home to a patch that’s roughly 18 exabytes in size. Now that’s a life-changing LFG queue time.

The community was quick to jump on the patch size issues bandwagon, pointing out some possibilities. Let’s hope this particular banter exchange never happens. One Jailer was more than enough.

And downloading all the visions of an ancient, malefic god from before the Titans also doesn’t sound like a particularly great download.

So let’s hope that Blizzard’s servers remain mercifully uncorrupted, if possible, so all our patch days remain malevolent vision-free. But not pun-free. Everybody loves puns, right?
