That's fine, but the ore holds.. oh god; you can't expand them? Only your cargo holds? And as per fleets, we've all see the number of players in EVE steadily decrease over the past few months. It's getting harder and harder to keep a few WH and nullsec systems all full of active players, keeping your IH scores at Lv5 and such isn't that easy anymore.

Good riddance OP.


I actually think the buff/nerf thread is a bigger whine, but that's alright. I'm used to people like you in EVE. Also; triple-bolding your text doesn't make it any more bold. L2HTML/bbcode

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.

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

AMAZING! w0w~

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.


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.

A 'huh?' and a 'wtf?'. What?

edit: Do you feel better now that you got that out of your system ?

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.

Even as a troll I'm glad you're the first person to take more than ~3 seconds to write a reply. I'd glady work for/with CCP if they didn't use such terrible technologies as ASP.net and the likes. Side note: Python was never meant for games.

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.

Perhaps, simply my client asked me to update,. told me the patch was 3.6MB; then said the patch file (blah blah blah.exe) didn't exist on the server, and asked if I'd like to go to the support page. Support page gave me the screenshot I posted in the OP.

Thank you! I'd have to agree. I don't give half a **** about DUST, and I think others here agree with me on that.

Had the same version. Got patched without any problems. Maybe you should get faster internetz so your PC can patch properly?

Of course, yet it's going up and down constantly. (you can see this by trying to join EVE-gate voice or check your forum messages located in the top right next to the EVE Universe dropdown.)

You'll see on some pages it shows as http://i.imgur.com/izOFA.png (empty)

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

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