As this is the only place we should be discussing the alpha product, I'm just going to keep my impressions and thoughts, concerns, issues, loves, etc... here as a kind of running log of my impressions. If I come across any specific bugs or issues I'll report them in whatever way the devs prefer.
Performed the initial install this AM.
Had no issues retrieving my license key from the store or installing the msi.
Login went flawlessly.
I like the larger font and better progress bars for downloading and decompressing it's much better visual feedback during this process than classic provided.
It's pretty tough to gauge the speed of this process overall as there's no real baseline other than a reinstall of classic, and that's going to have a different set of assets to download. So while my perception is that the process is taking a while, it could very well be that I'm just anxious to get in to using the actual application. Still... On this gaming laptop with a latest generation samsung evo ssd and a sick processor it seems like the decompressing and "updating" steps for modules is taking longer than I'd expect. All tht said, the actual download part of each operation is blazingly fast. just the local decompress and update feels like it could/should be faster (on this machine at least). I'll gauge the total time to install on this box and will record it with a comparison to install time on my gaming desktop which has even faster ssd and overall better specs.
I'm on 28 of 46 updates at the moment and I'm going on just about 20 minutes of wait time.
