I tried to download the patch from BLizzard, and once again it doesn't work for me. It just sits there.

Does anyone know of a mirror to it that we could gank?

PS I love BLizzard but I hatheatheatestabstabstab their patch system.

It worked fine for me. Maybe your firewall?

Fileplanet useually has the patches. I'll go check and see now.

Yep, they do. So you'll have to stand in line to get it but you'll be able to get it pretty easily then. Either spend hours DL'ing it through the shitty Blizzard patcher or spends hours standing in line. Six of one half a dozen of the other.

I got my patch in about 2 and a half hours.. the first halfhour of which was spent connecting to other people or whatever.

Directing you to the shacknews posts so they don't get die off as quick. Try the links here and here. Don't know how good they are btw. I started patching right after the servers went down this morning, before the patch servers started getting raped, and got it done in 30 mins. They're an alternative to the shitty Blizzard patcher and the even shittier Fileplant.

I got my patch from the blizzard updater over the course of about 15 minutes, just like every previous patch.

In fact, I've never had any trouble with the blizzard updater. Ever.

Guess I'm just lucky.

It's actually a conspiracy to make people stop bitching. In reality, they just postponed the server restart until 12pm pst and changed the colors on the ogre's loincloths.

Every time I try to patch or install this game, bad things happen.

I usually have no problem with the patcher. This time though it said it couldn't connect or something.

My only problem with the patcher is that it usually only goes at 100Kbps for me. So it'd take me like, 20 minutes to download the file.

Today, I downloaded with fileplanet at 400 kbps. less than 5 minute download

Oh no! You'll have to spend more time doing nothing waiting for the servers to come back up!

Here is one built especially for you guys. I'll take it down at some point, but I'll leave it up until at LEAST tomorrow night.

Oh yeah, btw, for all the people who are all "LOL NERF ROGUES!", a bug was introduced with the patch.

When fighting an NPC, if our eviscerate is blocked, it deals no damage + we lose all our combo points. (I believe it's not like this for PvP, block works as intended) This may or may not apply to other classes' abilities, such as execute. I would assume it does.

So for the folks who felt we dealt too much dps PvE, be happy

edit: When pvping a rogue, you cannot block/parry their attacks from behind, so keep that in mind.

That's a negative on PVP. When I missed an Eviscerate it burned some energy (not the full amount) and I was still left with my Combo Points.

If this is indeed nerfed, I'll probably be happier having converted from Rogue. :|

Not missed. Blocked. There's a difference now.

Bah, patcher was only going at 2kps for me. I would have loved 100kps.
