I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

Follow-up thought on this re the dev blog about alliance logos, it could be the client downloading the latest batch of new and/or updated alliance logos.

Well here's the thing OP, the file is largely nothing. It's all bloat and the client deletes it on bootup. It's entirely there to make sure this simulation is up and running by the time you get in-game. You see, nothing in eve is real except for you. The Watchers don't always run the eve simulation, because it strains their hardware, but basically you are a brain in a jar. So, when you log in for the day that 69mb file is just the amount of time they need to make sure no 'reality' glitches occur during your play. It brings all the AI actors online and populates any out of game communication protocols you use, with artificial people.

Because a 4-16 hour shutdown once a week is much worse?

I don't know who wrote this to give that person cred, but it pretty much sums up Patches Online rather well.


Hour for the patch....errrr expansion...an hour the next day for the fix for the patc....expansion, an hour the day after for the fix of the fix for the expanpatchion, and 23 stealth launcher patches to fix the fix of the fix for the fix that hotfixed the patch of the original fix for the patchspansion.

If there are no patch notes... then it's a back-end thingamajig that would take too long to explain to the unwashed masses

... or it is a DUST514 patch.

I've come to expect a patch every day. A day without a patch is worse than a day without bacon.

Aww I laugh at the little nooblets crying about a new patch everyday, its cute.

I'm betting none of you were here for the exudus/coldwar installs right? No? OHHH Uncle Reaper will tell you a story, gather around kids...

When I was your age and just learning to get my first battleship, there was a great expantion. This was code named Shiva, and it had lots of goodness in it. CCP stated that shiva will be called exodus and it will take 6 hours to install. The player base rejoiced at the goodies they were about to recive.

6 hours later and behold the server is still down. Foul! cried the players, the gods have forshaken us! And then Behold, for the gods then declared the server was having an issue and would be back up in 2 more hours. Much grumbling was to be had.

2 hours later the server starts to come up, and the people wept with joy for the new toys they would play with. But alas, just before players were aloowed in the gods made a commandment.. ooops, database error... yea this is going to take a bit. And much teeth mashing and forum warring was to be had.

Then lo came the call, ccp had brought the server up, a total of 1o hours late then planned, but YAY! And the people got ready to get on but alas, the gods killed the wrong hamster and the server was down again. Much frustration and grumbling was heard. the gods scambled to fix the universe, but lo they could not.

Announced an appoligy and rolled back changes to start over, server will now be down a total of 24 hours.

The cry of death to the gods went up. Then the gods said, and for behold, the loss od time shall be granted to everyone in two extra days of life. And the people rejoiced.

Then finally, after a full day (yes a full day) the server was up, and people logged in... but behold after a few hours time the great hamsters started choking, and the server crashed.

And then behold for the next two weeks (yes two weeks) the universe was put in a state of wibbly wobbly timey whimey and was slower then snail snot and crashed often.

And so it is written that all eve patches were as such.

Untll after the great boot.ini plague something changed. For behold, not the players just deal with many a patched, and the server is not longer in a flux of whibbly whobbly timey whiney. An whats that fair children? do the people rejoice that the curse of the expantions is lifted? No, the younglings now complain that you have to download a measly new file every few days...

Kids these days.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

i am not receiving a patch every day. i get them when they're released, which isn't every day. So either OP is being hyperbolic, in which case STFU, or literal, in which case the issue is not patches.

Every time you see the client downloading, it's patching the game. You can then google, Eve Patch Notes to see what CCP released. In today's release the notes were:

Patch notes for EVE Online: Rubicon 1.3

Patch notes for EVE Online: Rubicon 1.3.6
Released on Thursday, March 27th, 2014

FIXES
Graphics

Updated a texture on the Stabber Minmatar Cruiser.
Corrected turret animations on Sister of EVE ships (the Astero, the Stratios, and the Nestor).
Closed a memory leak caused by some jumpgate travel and dock/undock sequences.
