General[edit]
- The iOS mobile client now contains all game data within the initial app download. After the 1.5 GB app is downloaded and opened, it will appear to download a full set of 1100+ bundles, but this is just the process of cleaning up the bundles that are no longer needed on the user’s device. This will affect all iOS users, but in the end, is an excellent change, allowing new players to download the entire game in the background instead of requiring the app to remain open for the duration. All subsequent patches will be incremental and not require a re-download of the entire client.
