For God's sake, learn how to patch properly. It is ridiculous that we have to sometimes sit 10+ minutes staring at a screenshot while we're patching 2-5 files of a map.
Make the patching run in the background for the content relevant to the player's level. If you don't know how to do it, go check kids games like Wizard101 and Pirate101. It is not rocket science. Just don't freaking make me queue for 30min for a dungeon, only to wait 10min to patch a handful of files, and finally end up in the dungeon alone cause I was kicked out of the party.
Stop working on new classes
Stop working on class balance
Stop working on new content
Stop coming up with new ways to squeeze $$ out of players
And please just focus on the basic and elementary issues at hand.
Thank you.

Usually on-demand patching is very fast and hardly noticeable, but the patch server seems to be swamped today. In general I think the patch process has been pretty solid. As to the plea to stop working on other aspects of the game, there are different groups working on different pieces. Why would you assume they're not working on the "basic and elementary issues at hand"?
I was exaggerating my plea of course. I did see that disabling on demand patching and I will try it. I am not sure if this will solve the issue. From what I read it actually prolongs the loading screens of areas. I dont have a problem with patching when I launch the game. It's the patching that occurs when I join Skirms or Dungeons.
Edit: ok so I disable it, and it looks like it is patching everything at launch. So will see how this works.

You're trolling just to say that? What fault? The DEFAULT is exactly what I was complaining about. The alternative is to patch 1.5gig at the moment which probably going to take like 30min or so. That's the solution?
Is it so much of a QQ to suggest patching in the background? I'd rather sit in town on my horse reading ZONE spam, while my files are being patched, then either of these alternatives. But I guess some people just browse the forum attempting to sound cool by flagging anything as QQ.

I knew it was an exaggeration, but I'm a little disappointed with the level of angst and vitriol tossed around. Not to single you out specifically, as there are many posts which are much more egregious displays of bilious whining.
The default on-demand will only patch a specific area when you first load it. Subsequent loads will not be patched until the next update. If you disable it, all pending patches for all areas will be loaded when you launch the client. You're right, obviously this isn't a great day to try it with the patch service being swamped, as you'll slowly be loading patches for areas you won't even play today.
Best to keep the on-demand up, and stick to areas that are fully patched until the service is back up to speed.
But I was stuck zoning into Helms for 20 min seeing "Server not responding"
