Cataclysm Beta - New Patcher, 15% Orgrimmar and Hyjal

Using the new beta patcher on 2010-08-04, flying around Orgrimmar and Hyjal when only at 15% installed. The blue borders block you until the next area is sufficiently loaded. Pretty nifty - it now works on demand!

Check around 4:30 - you can see the rocks and flames load on demand, and eventually the sound effects load as well.

What Are your computer specs?

[KralTube2]

@Imunotu Relatively high-end for WoW - ATI 5870, i920, 12GiB ram, and an SSD, but I have the beta installed on a traditional HDD RAID 1 array. I'd expect the HDD performance to be the limiting factor with the streaming.

How fast is your connection?

[KralTube2]

@fabioyk14 About 16Mbit, but the patcher was running around 4Mbit.

at 6:19 is that a new model for the green dragon leader or is it just a more armored version of a night elf model?

[KralTube2]

@Cheese4Everyone It's Ysera, but she's still a placeholder model.

[Gusdor]

@KralTube2 Negative, the internet connectivity and the server performance will be the biggest bottleneck.

[Cheese4Everyone]

@KralTube2 but its still a different model than she originally had before this build, idk just looking closely at the picture it looks like a fully new model than her last one where she was just wearing a dress 8P
