STO thanks the players for the most successful patch ever. Because you have worked so hard to make this patch work, a new item will soon be appearing in the Lobi store: The Elachi Patch Cannon.
Elachi Patch Cannon will allow you to receive data at the former "fast-patch" rate. The secondary fire mode will allow you to receive 1000MB of data in 1 second. Primary mode has a 1 second trigger time, while Secondary mode has a 47 minute trigger time and 29 day recharge time.
Elachi Patch Cannon will cost 500,000 Lobi and will be an account unlock.
Considering i'm watching HD streaming TV at the same time and it is working fine this is pretty poor showing from Cryptic or PWE (whoever is in charge of the patch servers).
This confirms a point that many of us have already pointed out to. Instead of dedicate their talents to another expansion/scam, they should for once dedicate their resources into a better/newer infrastructure.
You know as well as I do that thats not gonna happen as long as they dont absolutely have to.
It would cost money that they are not willing to spend, they are too greedy for that.
I had expected to be online around 6:30, it's now 7:15 here and I'm on my 2nd attempt at patching, coming up to 8%. I guess I wont be logging in today...
Ok guys, I'd stopped and started multiple times, to no avail, but I remembered I had a VPN software back from another MMO that I'd played called WTFast. I used the free trial version, set my IP to boston, and connected. Patched in no time. Hope it helps.
People are forgetting that we're talking about a lot of players downloading, at the same time, a 3 GB patch from what few servers and bandwidth Cryptic has available for STO patching (game seems to be on a separate line; everything's loading just fine and a Dev was chatting at the Club).
I restarted the launcher and now it patches at an acceptable speed. Not fast but acceptable. Before I was stuck at 13.2% for almost an hour, now I have almost 50% in 5 minutes.

RESTART YOUR LAUNCHER. THE SPEED WILL INCREASE GREATLY.
I have finished patching.
I log in.
Ready. No drama.

Same. Somethings wrong... again. Sigh.
I've just done as suggested and it does seem quicker.
