Has CCP considered the concept of releasing the patches to a download cache on our machines the DAY BEFORE it GOES LIVE?
That way, we don't have to wait until up time to download 550mb (for a render engine) before logging on.
Sure there is some last minute tweaks, but that is due to a bad test strategy, but even with that you can still last minute deploy a SMALLER patch.
Just suggesting because there is customers here where patch day is very painful. (Kind of like trying to play Blu Ray, or sodomizing oneself with a Blu Ray box)

I don't see why this cannot be done as I'm sure you have frozen your release a day or so before (or maybe even futher before) going live.

no point in letting everyone d/l something that even CCP doesnt know wether it will work properly when patched onto TQ.
They can test desploy it on sisi or something.
They have a test department ffs.

As a general rule, the release date is called that for a reason.
And people, this isn't a Flash game. At least make some effort to keep your gaming rig outfitted with hardware made in the last decade.
This is NOTHING to do with hardware, it is government ****ed up policy that is screwing us out of broadband for those NOT in cities (or mamas basement).
jeez pull your head out.
