And honestly, do you really think people would stop hounding them even if they did give an ETA?

Very sorry if i seemed pushy or obnoxious, i have read the post and understand the situation better now, i was simply making a suggestion about a type of ETA i thought was easy to give, but obviously since the scenario is that even the testers don't know how long it will take them, ill happily sit it out until you are finished. Again, thank you for your efforts!

Update 8/7/2013 : The new packs are ready for community testing however right now we are having issues uploading them to the repo (server) the launcher accesses. This is something we have no control over. When we can get them on the launcher we will. ​

Take your time, seriously. Don't give in because the minority are impatient, but cheers for the update!

Thanks for the continued hard work. It will be worth the wait.

And about the old worlds? Just login and play after update or must do something?

Did you read jadedcat's message? It says: "… read for community TESTING …"
Testing means, you have to experiment with it yourself and perhaps publish your result.s If you are uncomfortable with testing, wait until the test phase is over.

Ok, sorry dude, just dont hurt me.

Giving that IDs are getting changed and Also Slow's post said that as well blocks may change into something else or just disappear.

Best suggestion with this fix is to start a whole new world. =)

The second is a proper repair, getting DW20 pack back to where it should be, however there would be enough changes done to IDs. that world restarts may be needed.

It says in the very post you quoted that there are issues uploading for the launcher to access.

 

[HangingLotus]

honestly if you cant wait patiently for them to finish then you have no business playing the game. that attitude just annoys me to no end. to jadedcat and the ftb staff: keep up the good work.

For those who want a quick fix, you can disable Ender Storage and Thaumic Tinkerer to get it to work again. (Not sure if this temporary fix has already been posted, 19 pages is a lot to go through.)

Just because I know this post will have no effect over who posts tickets:
The help desk does not offer any support, whatsoever, regarding anything that's considered to be in "testing" or beta stages.
(And only quoting Jaded so there's no confusion)

His question was whether a world restart was necessary. According to Jaded's updates, the FTB team was working on a tool that would save worlds.

...And we are attempting to minimize damage to worlds because we might be able to do that... The tool that might fix the restart thing is just a possibility, something part of the launcher team is working on separately...

I, too was wondering whether this tool was finished and working. Extensive testing is not needed for someone on the FTB team to clarify this.

The pack is out on the launcher. From Slowpoke's Twitter:

OK the updated Direwolf20 Pack is now on the launcher. It is currently on as a private pack with the code Iwanttorestartmyworld.

Also from the Twitter:

This pack is out for testing, However it has passed internal testing and has several changes. However we are hopeful of having a tool coming out that will covert worlds created with the original 1.5.2 Direwolf pack so that it works with the new pack.
