May 13th, 2015 Update

With all the work being put in, it seems stupid that they're calling it after November.

[Kanriel]

Man, this makes me want to come back. I don't know why, it doesn't make Idris any easier to grind out, since it'll likely destroy alex farming as an income source. And I still have a shitty playtime window and no one to play with. Wonder what I'd be able to dualbox with 4 trusts, think trusts have any hope vs D-level BCNM's? Never tested out the defensive abilities of a tank trust.

[Draylo]

The tank trusts got a huge boost, I was amazed at how well the RUN tank did (Amuchuchu?). He was able to hold hate against me on Shark WKR lol, was going all out on BLU too. They just buffed them as well, not sure how much.

I'm a tad disappointed with the 550 SMN gift being favor +1. Considering the crazy things a lot of jobs got and the crazy high number of JPs required, it seems really weak. A new avatar, or heck, -5 BP Delay III, or even being able to summon the dual elementals would have been better.

was going to wait until Nov to play but I may take this 2 week free period to finish my Tizona and fuck around with some of the stuff I missed

Yeah but on the other hand new smn jps were pretty awesome so kind of balances it out.

Quite interesting. Wonder if I could use a tank trust, GEO dualbox, and heal/support trusts vs D fights. I know I can do enough damage to kill it in time as the lone DD. Would be interesting if I can use trusts to fulfill the tanking role.

Well then. I think I know what my next stunt might be. Time to do that Kam'lanaut solo on N before I get Burtgang! And then on D after I get it (using damage zeroing tactics to prevent En-effects). However, I got put up to seeing how many AA's of DM I could kill alone before the time expired on E. With Trust, I should be able to finish VE easily enough, possibly even E.

Seriously, were it not finals week, I'd be roaring with anticipation.

Is it just me or is the update download going reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllly slow.

[joso33]

8 hours+

[enoch]

Not just you, it's slow right now. I guess the surprising thing is that enough people give a shit to be hammering SE's servers. Or I guess more likely is that they're limiting their bandwidth to save money.

I started as soon as Check Version popped, which was ~10:40 west coast time. By the time the servers went back online it said I had ~30 minutes left. That was an hour and a half ago. There's something unsettling about watching the timer tick down and then lurch back up again, repeatedly.

[Aumaan_Kujata]

I pulled the first half in about a half hour, and the remaining time stayed at around 90 minutes for the full duration of that. I made the mistake of cancelling out and restarting, and it's been guessing between 4 and 8 hours ever since, while I watch it come in in discrete quanta between long pauses. Definitely feeling some remorse over that cancel.

[Helldemon]

I was at 55mins for about 45-50 mins or so, now it's down to 52 another 30 mins later lol.

Mine really slowed down near the halfway point as well.

[Trumpy]

Prolly just server issues as before the update there was login problems. There was only just over 300 people online on shiva for the hours ahead of the update. It has been a long while since ive had a crazy slow update. kinda weird!

[Hitou]

It's because it's a larger update than normal and it's set right when all of Japan gets home to DL the game. Crap used to be like this all the time back in the day when updates were months apart and several thousand files large. I started around 11pm pst and it got about half way before it got stuck at "37 min remaining" for the last 2+ hours. 200ish files to go...

[Xantavia]

Think this is going to cause me to miss getting login points since they started doing it. Thanks SE.

[Trumpy]

mine was at 2 hours at first then up to 3 then hit 4 ish hours and has stayed there since. ugh ur right... i was bout to try and do my logins before update started but was in the longest CS of my life doin adoulin missions... Didnt expect this craps

[brozy]

Been sat at 3 hours since 8am which was 2 hours ago but its still showing 3 hours I had forgotten how shitty patch days use to be in this regards, would of been nice of SE to start doing their own .zips of patches but i guess that'd be too much to ask.
