Estimated Patch Downtime?

[piedlpiper]

Note to TRION its been more than 1 freaken hour ... its been 4

What is taking so L O N G ? ? ?

Testing is... I'm sure they have the fix by now, but they don't want to release it until they are reasonable sure it will work and not cause addition issues and want to be sure no other issues pop up. Although, additional issues will happen they want to catch as many as they can...

Jeez louise. I remember Anarchy Online putting out a big patch. Followed by emergency maintenance 2 hours later. Followed by a patch 6 hours later to fix (attempt to) the bugs that patch caused followed 3 hours later by a 2 day downtime... "see ya after the weekend". It could be worse, believe me. As one poster said, go enjoy your juicebox. Or here is a novel idea... heaven forbid you might read a good book for a few hours. I can recommend a few thousand.

I have actually been reading the book Host by Stephanie Meyer while I wait so I can catch up before the movie comes out on dvd and I watch it lol so good advice

Anyone remember 6-12 hour Everquest patch days? you'll get your crack eventually. play some spider solitaire in the meantime

I'll bet there's more than a few who would benefit from a shower, a good meal, a reintroduction to the sun, paying bills, cleaning the house, etc. I want to play too, but I actually got some stuff done so I can play guilt-free later!

lol good advice before I started reading the book I mowed the lawn and did some outside work around the house so know what ya mean there

Host is a great book. GLad you are enjoying it. I was fully wrapped up in that book from the first page. It was a most enjoyable journey.

Well they at least had the decency to temporarily raise the XP gained as compensation for the downtime.

Says a lot about the company when they have to patch the patch......Lazy programing if you ask me...don't they test these patches before going live with them?.....like other games.

yeah im sure their programmers just said screw it and put out bad code - you're an idiot and shouldn't speak anymore ty
