This post is intended as an information thread for those who havent had the pleasure of patchday yet. ( no pun intended ). I'm hoping to minimise the WTF CCPNOOBSMONEYBACK threads popping up in the hundreds
As you propably have gathered we have a new patch comming up next tuesday. If not hereis the intel.
Some do's and don'ts on patchday.
1 Patchday is Lagday. Don't expect the game to run smoothly. Many a 56k-er will be autopatching, and all who have patched and are logged on will probably be clicking all over the user interface and market tabs looking for all the new stuff and such.
2 Server reboots. More often than not. We 100k users are more capable to find the remaining bugs/errors than the few hundred brave souls who did the bughunting. On a same note the few hundred testers will not have been able to mimmic us 100 k users serverload wise. This beeing said. Some server reboots might occure to fix pressing issues bugs asap. Expect some additional dt's.
3 NPC changes In this patch again, npc will have some changes. This means that the mega spawns you have been soloing before the patch might not be soloable anymore. So dont take your Navy Raven with 2 billion faction fitting out hunting the first day. Take an expendable vessel or some friends to check out the new npc's skills.
What you can do to make patchday enjoyable for yourself.
1 Most important, set a long skill training. One that will finish a few days after the patch day. Probably wont be needed, but still, having a skil finish during a reboot suxs.
2 Park yourself away for the core solar systems if you want to fly around on patchdays. lag will be worst around Oursulaert/Jita and the likes.
3 Dont plan major corp opps on patchday. Take your time to just hangaround some and look at the new toys or something. ( this doesnt count for 0.0 as there usualy things go alot smoother, but you prob wont be a first timer if you live there anyway )
These are the first things that come to my mind. if anyone has to add something, please do

4. Regardless of their success with the Server Upgrade, any estimates on when the server will come back up will probably be PASSED. Don't expect to get on the game 2 minutes after they said the server would be back up.
5. There will NOT be a day of credit added to your account for your "inconvenience". You're getting a free content patch, so QUIT YER WHININ! :D

I wish CCP would refund all the people who demand compensation 20 cents to cover the day they 'lost'. Then charge them 2 euros for administrative costs ----

Edited by: Mned Graydroggen on 26/02/2006 15:00:00 7. If you do feel the need to complain, please check if your issue has already been posted. It probably has, so use that thread to add your instant of the problem so the DEVs get a better overvieuw of the issues and the forums dont get floaded with double threads.
8. The patch will be come available a few minutes before server up here. Download it and patch manualy to help save serverload.

9. In the past it has happend that some technical issues or severe bugs have appeared after a patch ( sheit hppens right ? )
if this be the case this time please post all intel you have that might help sorting out the porblem in this forum. Its the very underused game development forums. Issues with all the intel you have posted on this forum will greatly help our Devs solve pressing issues asap.
10. Most important point Imo atleast. Any pain felt by us the players will be doubly felt by the Devs. This game is their creation and lives work. So don't go berserk on the Devs if something isn't working out for you after patch. Stay calm and give intel that can be used to solve the issue. I assure you the Devs will be working fulltime on any issue that might surface.
There. I've said my part. Good luck with the deployment to the Devs. See you all on the flip side.

Edited by: VinLieger on 01/03/2006 10:26:38 11. Remember to say thank you to the devs after the patch has been implemented whether its perfect or not it is a free content patch (you dont pay extra for it like in other games) which they have put alot of work into and deserve a bit of gratitude

I generally set a long skill, log out, and don't come back until two days after the patch.

12. Bugreport ANY bugs. Sometimes they don't show up until there's a heavy load on the server, and the more people report their bugs, the faster the bugs disappear.
13. If you feel the need to leave, immediately make plans to transfer all of your assets to Nikolai Nuvolari. If you announce that you are going to leave, include this in the announcement to eliminate the necessity of "Can I have your stuff?" posts. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk

this should be sticked, and WE NEED a list of good mirrors, as the official site here gets insanely laggy.
we need to get the patch posted on a bunch of other mirrors to make things more smooth ;)

14. The Devs will almost without a doubt post a feedback sticky on the new patch, post any issues there to spare the rest of the forums.
Also a worthy bump to a great post Mned
To the Devs I simply say thanks in advance and ask you to remember that some who play EVE don't deserve the game they are playing.

One wonders if it would be wise to put up a torrent too, to help the server even more

Just thought I would point out that the average n00b will not be flying a Navy Issue Raven with a 2 Billion faction setup. If they are, they have been through patches before. :)

I don't know if it is a regular mirror, but when I was having problems getting the patch to go with the hardware upgrade last week, I found a copy at http://download.stuff.is/eve
