I can't believe my eye but seeing SE just update the "Same Patch"??!!
If this is true, we can call SE or Yoshi the Evilest gamer in the planet.

Which also prove that all the past update just pure coding..expect adding a few item and a few NM monster. Rest are.. pure change of coding. SE hasn't add ANY content for us for the past months.

Try it yourself, uninstall the game and re-download, see if u get over GB download or just 3xx MB since December patch.

At least Guildwars does incremental patches and incorporates them into the database file dynamically >.> (even if it's way less of a game in different respects :P)

We don't need the same dang 300+mb patch each time ><

Have you been playing since December?

I fail to see how you're surprised.

[NotApplicable]

That has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've heard this week.

I think your taking this out of Proportion The "Application size" is 3-5MB What's contained within that Application=300+ MB

WTF! You didn't know? dat files expire after a month. Give SE a break.

So more technical ineptitude...

Why would it download updates that were old? Why would it force you to download all updates all over again when you can just download one before the latest that includes all most recent changes?

I reinstall frequent and thats all it does, for example the SP system has been changed about 4 times since release, why do we need 3 of those we only need the recent so it bundles that into patch, this happens with everything.

I really dont get the point of the OP.

For once out of the Forums I actually agree with you =) There's Hope Yet for these Forums!

I think the point is that every previous update has been just as big as the latest one.

The sad part isn't that we have to download redundant data, but that the patcher is crap and they don't care to fix it.

Were not "re-downloading" anything
