SE sort out your Updater ><

[ShinChuck]

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.

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.
