Don't listen to the loElvaan. He's been a hater on all the event music as long as I can remember. :3

With this update I might be most excited to make Santa Pants+1 to go with the rest of the set I've gotten over the years lol, since the new weapon skill nerfs have greatly killed some of my excitement level.

I was expecting the best if not one of the best updates ever in this lv99 upgrade, when i saw the blue mage abilities i tough they are goin the right way since those spells are epic and started giving time for them to anounce the new abilities for each job at 99, yet it seems like they will release lv99 whiout no new abilities for lv99.

The new animations and dmg for the new ws like all have mentioned where a point of excitement yet they killed it all, so crappy ws for all and no new abilities at lv99 this is really gonna be one epic update in the lame department.

I never realized how long their code took to process and write update files on the 360.... A whole hour for just a little over 100mb of data? Seriously?

I just did a 2gb update for DCUO on my PS3 in 2hrs (re: As fast as my shit internet can download).

Did the RAAM DLC for Gears 3 yesterday with the whole world downloading it in 1 hours and 30mins or so, also 2gb and that was with my "awesome" 640 kbps download internet. Nothing new for SE to fail hard in the patch download department.

lol@15mins for the PC btw, who the fuck believes that at SE? Time out errors and "checking" my files before downloading again makes 5 minutes for every time out error on itself, not even counting their shitty server I am downloading from.
