just restarted mine, before i was going at ~15k. after the restart it is staying around 200k with some 600k spikes. so i think they may have the patching issue ducktaped ATM
It would be appreciated it if you stopped speaking to me as if I were a child good sir.
If you read my post I posted the amount I had patched as well as the total it wanted to patch in this case it was 8 MB out of 125 MB. Upon restarting the patcher as requested my data rate did not improve and the patcher now required 128 MB to completion. All of this data was available in my previous post
And yes my launcher updated upon restart.
I apologise, i was talking to someone who was swearing at the community dev, qouted the wrong thing.
Im in!! Thanks Brandon, thanks dev team! And for all you fellow star captains, you'll find a little patience does the trick
PATIENCE? I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR PATIENCE! I WANT TO PLAY MY VIDEO GAME I DON'T PAY FOR IN ANYWAY NOW! IF THIS KEEPS UP I'LL CANCEL MY NON-SUBSCRIPTION TO YOUR GAME!
Wait, if I cancel a non-subscription does that mean I'll start paying for the game?
now my launcher stalled and isnt patching.. lovely.. nice job cryptic had weeks to prevent this type of stuff to happen but no, lets wait till last minute as always.
Tryed to connect launcher and its now messed up.. lovely
I don't think there is anything they can do if people are pushing the patch server beyond it's intended capacity. As people patch and get through the times will get less extreme. I did restart my patcher a few times and it did help a bit. I don't know if that is because there are less people now or just because I got a stronger connection.

They should have anticipated this and they didnt. This is their fault, not the users.
anything good takes time to get, or ... anything good isn't easy to achieve, or if it is hard to get, it will be appreciated more?
Guys, c'mon.... the biggest revamp and addition this game has had perhaps in the whole time of being, dont you think absolutely everyone is trying to patch at the same time? give it some time and just relax. It'll work out

I never said it was the users fault. I just said that there are more people than the system can handle. Weather or not Cryptic anticipated such a massive response to the expansion is debatable and only they would know.

My patch finished, yay me. Then it started to patch again, another 250 odd mb, so what let it run. But, it is running sooooo slooooow. So, I check the forum and yay me again, there is a post saying to restart the launcher. Did that, no the damn thing does not even open, and when it does it crashes immediately and opens a browser window that says and does nothing.
What now?
So, it finally started up after 27 - count them 27 - tries and continued the patch. Patched for 40+ min and then launches the game. Imagine my joy..... Then it bombs out at the retrieving character list screen, get this, for UNKNOWN reason.
5 attempts later and still no joy, no LoR and no me happy.
they did a pre patch, and they have attempted to fix the slow patch speeds and succeded for most of us, what do you think they should have done?
Probably not use a communication method from 1998? Also, increase the capacity of their outgoing servers.
You know I just came up with an interesting idea for a business. Rent out temp servers for large patching of online games. Like rent it out for 24 hours to double your out going capacity when you know your going to get a lot of users. Anyone interested in investing?

My Patch finished but when I go into the game it says "retrieving list of characters" then fails to log in and requests that I re-log in so yah patching isn't the only issue it would seem. I still say that the system is dealing with way more people then anticipated (which is good for the game, but not for launch days).

I believe his intention was: yelling does not help the patcher go faster... lol

How about in anticipation putting another couple of server racks in place for the patch? That would have been nice.
Ill just watch boogie2988 doing his francis act about servers being down. XD
