    I'm just looking forward to actually skilling up my characters "for realsies". I have three 60th level captains on whom I just stopped bothering to spend skill points back around level 40 because I couldn't be bothered, knowing it would all be reset soon.

    Death to the 45 boxes of rainbows!

    Prepatching is when you sow a patch onto a new blanket, just encase it incurs a future tear or burn.


    I LOL-ed. :smile: Good one!

    That prepatch thing has never once worked on my computer. And since I started using Arc the game always crashes when I close it anyway. So no, I won't LET IT DO ITS THING!!!! :p

    Mine is patching 3.2 freaking GIGABITES, it's been running all damned day. Is it ok to cancel and play? Will it resume the download later or will stopping it TRIBBLE it up and make it start over?​​

    It should continue just fine, just like a regular patch.

    Pre-patch only happens after you log out of the game and exit...


    Also don't mix the sections

    Patched
    Received

    Patched means the size of the files beign patched
    Receive means what you ACTUALLY HAVE downloaded

    I am always amused by your "Minion" pictures. How many do you have sitting around? :D

    For me it always starts over even if I don't stop it.

    I dont use arc and it crashes mid pre patch. I'll just have to wait for the real season 11.5 I mean I don't have fast internet for no reason.

    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    talking of season 11.5 I thought we might see some wizard skill sets posted by now what with all those players testing all their different builds on tribble since the new system went live there.

    cant say I have had any problem downloading the patch, ok it was very big but it only took about 30 minutes to download & install.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Very good question. I also pre patched last week, thinking it might download much less now. Guess I was wrong, so no STO for me today. Hopefully I can still claim the daily reward tomorrow.

    69%, received only 64.5 MB - but I use on-demand patching so total patch size is roughly halved.

    All I know is that every time a patch is released, I then have problems just getting the game started. It keeps getting stuck at the "Loading...: screen, eventually timing out. I usually have to do this several times before I can get logged in. It is only successful if it actually gets to the character screen. It's very annoying. I've been trying to get in for the past several days & no success so far. ARGHHH!!! Missing out on free stuff!!!

    Every week when my game patches it takes a long while to get the Character Select Screen. And the first time it does finish the load it has already forgotten the Authentication Token and I need to sign in again.
