Downgrading to 3.3.5?

[Hadesminion13]

Sorry if this is somewhere obvious and I missed it, but I honestly can't find an answer anywhere. I just re-installed WoW (I accidentally deleted it a month ago and was too lazy to install it again until now.) and I went out to do some stuff. When I got back it had updated to 4.0.3, which I wasn't even aware of. What I want to do is downgrade from version 4.0.3 to 3.3.5, because to my knowledge there isn't, and may never be, a full working cataclysm repack by Mangos and it'll be a while before anyone else releases a stable core. Is there any way to downgrade without re-installing this giant of a game (20 gigs took a while to install -_-)?

sadly not.. you must reinstall

Seriously? Why can't I use a similar strategy to earlier versions where you delete and repair?
(The seriously wasn't meant to be rude, I'm just kind of pissed.)

You can, but that will but you back to 4.0.1.

Down-patching always puts you to the first major patch. (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0)

Oh, okay then. 4.0.1 is still better than 4.0.3, which files do I delete? It looks like the MPQ structure was changed post-cataclysm

No idea in that case.

Shit, well, if anyone knows how to downgrade back to 4.0 let me know.

Tried the classic delete patch.mpq then repair?

[Hadesminion13]

They scrubbed Patch.MPQ on 4.0.3 as far as I can tell. Well, this time WoW only took two hours to install so now I'm patching this bitch -_-
