Nobody can have my stuff, not yet anyways. I'll probably get a silly reply from a dev eventually being all "Sorry for the inconvenience lulz, take this patch [link]". This isn't the first time this has happened, and my 300 plex purchase gets me some pretty good replies around here.

my 300 plex purchase

And yeah, 300 PLEX with IRL is not that much money for a web developer, I do freelance for often have a bit too much money at one time, leads to spending it on things like this.

I love how my patching was broken for DUST and clothing changes, that's just sad.

- Removed visible gaps from some clothing items were removed.

DEFO WORTH A PATCH

So....miners now need to get into a fleet to mine? You mean to say ppl will have to join corps now and fleet up? Oh, the shame of it! How dare ccp do this to us!

This has got to be the Ultimate Whine Thread in the history of EVE. Period and Final.

Good riddance OP.

I'm not an idiot, I redeem in Jita and sell there; I really don't understand why people will redeem elsewhere and get ganked, lose PLEX, etc. Idiots that feed the rest of us I suppose.

Why exactly 300? That's the amount it had to be to warrant contacting CCP about special deals :D

Yeah no, not going to re-download EVE again just to update, especially when all the updates nerf all the ships.

EVE was a great game, but starting from the Miner updates (maybe even before this) it's been going downhill. The alliance coalition used to have about 28000 players active, now we're down to about 6000. Miners, now that you can't even extend the ore hold; and the Hulk isn't a solo miner anymore, there's nothing you can do without having a full mining fleet; unless you want to jet and haul for yourself.

And don't even get me started on the Tengu changes, cruiser changes, etc.

But not even being able to update? That definitely takes the cake for me. Your download servers are slow enough that I don't want to download the full game again, especially when the patch was only 3.6 MB according to the client; then erroring out because the patch doesn't exist; and telling me I have to download the entire game again.

I have a 1GBPS full duplex line, and I get about 200kb/sec in your downloader; seriously?

NOTE: I was playing EVE just fine 20 hours ago.

I'm used to people like you in EVE. Also; triple-bolding your text doesn't make it any more bold. L2HTML/bbcode

That's fine, but the ore holds.. oh god; you can't expand them?

Here's my piece of advice. Send in your CV to CCP and tell them that you are THE MAN to solve all of their issues regarding patches and the whole system. Your knowledge of everything can instantly fix this problem with your amazing expertise, leaving us, the players all happy and fuzzy when we get to play an EVE Online that is so incredibly complex yet works flawlessly.

Thank you very much.

As Inferno 1.3 introduces a first massive preparation of the EVE Online Universe for DUST 514 and since we are doing something that no one has ever wanted before, we expect to encounter eventually some unexpected issues during the deployment. Please be prepared for deployment updates and delays in the schedule. Thank you for your understanding!

Because that would defeat the purpose of dividing them into clear and specific roles.

Oh, and the patch took me longer to calculate the diff for than to download and install, and I'm on a measly 25mbit line here. Sounds like your client was broken or you didn't manage to get a good send on that diff.

I guess the trolls forgot about a year or so ago when you had to reinstall after almost every patch/expansion. It has gotten better but I haven't tried to download this patch yet.


Sounds like a bunch of crap related to some other game that's ruining this game.

Oh look, it's down again; must be yet another micro-patch.

Because that would defeat the purpose of dividing them into clear and specific roles.

It's not time yet:

EVE Online: Inferno 1.3 is scheduled for deployment during an extended downtime on Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Downtime will begin at 11:00 UTC and is expected to be completed at 13:45 UTC.

Geez, dude...............

i too would like a private download stream from ccp since my 6 meg connection has room to spare when i download from you, a private network cable from your HQ would be fine too.

Please call between 2-4pm thanks.

Grow up OP its patch day

No other large games have this problem of ****** download servers? I'm sorry, but Blizzard's datacenter doesn't go down when SC2 patches.

Miners, now that you can't even extend the ore hold;

I'll just let you stop and think about why that is. It's pretty clear to me what the difference is.

No other large games have this problem of ****** download servers? I'm sorry, but Blizzard's datacenter doesn't go down when SC2 patches.

Of course, yet it's going up and down constantly.

If you are a computer professional, then you obviously have at least one backup of your EVE install, probably 2(after all, what kind of developer doesn't back things up before applying a patch?)

I, too, wish they would give us back the ability to extend the ore hold.

I wasn't able to DOWNLOAD the patch, let alone apply it. The EVE client says the patch doesn't exist at the location it tries to download from.

My rorqual would like this too.

Yes? Is this your first patch day? Testing and checking the server is pretty SOP when a new build is put in place.

I've patched many times, always on patch day; often during downtime. This is the first time I've encountered so many problems doing so.

I think you need to have a talk with your ISP, bro.

Everyone else seems to have successfully downloaded it.

What, that EVE has bad servers / not enough upstream? I have servers, even the most ridiculous hardware isn't that expensive because your datacenter loves to strike deals to keep clients; often charging you monthly a fee 1/50th the price of purchasing the server itself.

I wasn't able to DOWNLOAD the patch, let alone apply it. The EVE client says the patch doesn't exist at the location it tries to download from.

It seems it's an issue with CCP servers according to the error in image 2.

It's because SC2 as a game involves a common interface you connect to that doesn't change, and the server doesn't need to change because the communications always remain exactly the same. Not to mention the game servers are merely a bridge to go between you and the other players in a game of at most 7 other computers, whereas the amount of calculations the EVE server must do necessitates more software.


Funny how the rest of us were able to download it. Maybe you should look elsewhere before you blame CCP.

Yeah, splitting the holds make cargo expanders (and the related rigs) pretty useless for miners / industrial.

Please view the post immediately above yours. As per the SC2 comparison, yeah; I understand that. I'm speaking however of the whole "downloading patch" bit. 100,000 people downloading a 3.6MB file doesn't suddenly slow the entire DC to ****.

13:56 server still down, still unable to patch.
CCP extends downtime to 14:05 ; fair enough.
*waits*

I'm also mad at their brainless nerf, but as a game developer I gotta say they've been doing a decent job on keeping this game going. As it's pretty complex, mistakes are more likely to happen (though again, their missile nerf is really, like, really ********).

Maybe you should try harder to calm down (I know you tried) and look forward to a better patch they might come up with. I was going to quit EVE too, but my friend said CCP usually fix their mistakes once after a while, maybe 6 years. So there is still hope.

Keep a smile on and try not to feed the trolls! :D
