We Knew This Would Happen - Page 4

I...don't understand why people are upset about having to download a 2gig or 3gig or whatever file. Didn't they expect that? How else were they going to get all the games files so they could play?

I don't want to call anyone stupid, but really? Thats just common sense that to play a game you'd have to, you know, GET the game and all the files it needs! D:

EDIT: And just so its clear, it took me a while to download the new patch too, but then I'm on a slow connection anyway so it was only 30 minutes tops

Sorry, but how much did you have to download in those 30 minutes? Just curious because you say you have a slow connection and which country are you from? Alot of different countries don't have super fast connections like America and Japan.

I'm in new zealand, and I normally down at 30kbs a second so yeah, slow! And how much is not the point, its how fast, and I downloaded the patch at the same speed as a normally do.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of us were expecting to download a large file to play the game... You're missing the point entirely. The fact is it doesn't take 24 hours to download 3gig. That's where Cryptic is failing. Miserably. And to the person suggesting that we set it up to download on Thursday: how? We don't control when we're able to sign up for the free weekend or when the patch is released for that matter.

Ahh, I live In Australia and am not near a main city so mine is 1.5 lol. I'm extremely jealous of you.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? You were able to download the game and latest patches before the free weekend sign up. All you needed was an account, which should be obvious as something you need. I'm sorry, but all I'm hearing are excuses for why people didn't exert common sense.

Like the OP said, many of us were predicting that this weekend would be an utter disaster. This was Cryptics attempt to recover from what they are admitting was a really poor launch. Thats why this free weekend has been done so soon after the game was released. It's their way of saying to people who have cancelled "Hey, look! We fixed it! Please come back." but as expected the hardware for this MMO is as poorly concieved as many parts of the game itself.

All they've done now is cement peoples opinion that CO isn't a grade-A MMO and worst still is that because all of the MMO news sites will have reported about the free weekend they'll also be reporting about how it's another CO disaster to add to growing list of screw ups.

A few people lacking the common sense to set up before they play so it works does not a disaster make.

No, but a broken patcher does. Like it's been said on the other threads here if you'd paid any attention, most of the people coming to the Free Weekend are people who just found out about it on Friday via Steam invitation, and had no prior knowledge. I've downloaded up to 60% in Seven hours before the patcher suddenly disconnected for no reason, and now I have to start over.

And I'm sure every single one of the people trying to download it are just trolls.
