You just dragged up "every insult people said to me since my first hello". If that isn't some championship grudge-holding, I don't know what is!

Ahhhh, takes me back. I've probably got a half-dozen copies of that stupid game, starting with the NES and moving up to iPhone ports. Classic!

Should I link you back to my post proving that "patch day /= congestion"? You've been proven wrong, and yet you're still arguing the idea that 1) this is how every MMO operates and that 2) it's therefore acceptable to wait days to play. The first is demonstrably wrong, numerous examples have been posted disproving your theory, and that removes the stepping stone entirely to the second.

I'm not instigating anything. You're the one that can't get a grip.

I was asking for it to stop once and for all. And ask people to try and get to know the real me. "Not the me they made me out to be. So no. I wasn't holding a grudge I was asking for it to stop. There is infact a difference.

Pretty much you (not literally) insult me i will get mad. As in my mind I'm being friendly and trying to help. I get smacked around like a "red headed step child" (south park ftw) Or I just simply give my 2 cents and either agree or disagree. People will insult me even though I agree'ed with them I simply can not win. And I feel this needs to stop. The mods need to step in and start getting on the people who are starting with me because it is infact a form of cyber bullying. Why should I get introuble for other peoples insults. Why do I need to sit and take being treated so rudely over nothing?

But if you wait a day or two there woould be little to no congestion and have a smooth patch dl and upload. My game install and dl took and hour because of the several patches. Then the patch before this one was about 30 min. Due to admin blocking and having to restart it. I did the patch about 2 days after and had no issues with the patcher. If it was infact the patcher with the issue. I would have had an issue. So explain and give proof on how it is the patcher and not the congestion that is the issue?

TL;DR

Most people with fast connections and pathetic official patcher download speeds do report getting 0 remote connections, even when not firewalled. Of those, the ones who after having the official patcher failing sadly and inexcusably use an external torrent client to download the patch usually get it at max connection speed.

Today was patch day for Rift also, did an 80meg patch in about 2 min. I assure you, they have a thousand fold more traffic. BTW, I started at the same time I started FF's today.....but FF took almost an hour.

Okay. Why don't you try showing us the real you, so we can stop judging you based on what you've presented here so far?

let he see yes you are. Did you need to make snide comments about me? no.

Do you need to have that offensive sig? no

did you need to every be rude to me out of the blue? Or agree with people over comments are are immature? no.

so yes you are being part of the issue. I did nothing to you. Why do you have to be rude to me?

P2P will always be slow with the seed : peer ratio, just the way it is. OFC their client is terribad, uTorrent capped around 500k after more seeds were available. Still took 30min for 300MB though ... but not as bad as it could have been.

I get 0 remote with (hardware) ports forwarded and no windows firewall enabled with this silly patcher.

*edit* least with a client, you can seed while playing after. Just make sure its not 100% of your UL bandwidth ^.~

I can confirm this.

Rift's patch is 65mb, and SE's is 328mb, so XIV's current is roughly five times the size of Trion's latest. Rift's took me under a minute, which means XIV's should theoretically be done in five. XIV's took me pressing an hour as well. Now, Rift currently has a larger base than XIV, and Trion is a far smaller company than SE.

Yes, this is something that SE could fix. Some people might be stuck in the past of waiting days for a patch to download, but that's entirely avoidable in this day and age, and not an industry standard.
