title says it all really, I have 4 x versions of DAOC on my pc 2 x TOA and 2 x LOTM,

Why have they changed from a system that worked perfectly well, to one where, try DL from the patcher on patch day FU one.

Honestly one step forward and 5 backwards.

that will be the ranger/scout/hunter new casting shite animations.

and ofc the new shite sounds that go with it.

or maybe its the new wave files for the dings/bongs from buying bounty point scrolls! :)

ok.. maybe this is a silly question but.. why do you have to update all your installations? Afaik (at least that used to be the case in the past) you can run 2 instances with one client, so you just need to update every client once?!

Patch is good in some ways, If its the Archer patch they are pathetically annoying as they can add and shoot you down before you see where the arrow is :d However all those ml10 Cl10's out there now gonna be fun! ;d

Yeah but even in this case, he can just update it once, then burn the folder to a DVD and copy it to the other machine?!

The advanced patch downloads has been one of the few things GOA has done right the past few months whilst patching. It's a shame they missed out this one.

Currently downloading at 10kB/s! :(

USB stick? Open a share on one pc and copy it there from the other? DVD-rewritable? ;)

Its GOA, not Mythic dammit!:twak:

I do sincerely hope GOA have not given you all the new buff sounds that Mythic put in and ripped out with a rusty spoon 24 hours later because they were drivel! God they made ya ears hurt!

Oh, and dont forget kiddies, the new icons, well they suck and blow, so go ahead and get the old ones before you go blind trying to figure out why some overpaid icon dev got his new copy of Photoshop and went to town on hard drugs and alchohol while tripping, yeah man oooookkk...

Oh and dont forget to copy ya .ini files, they always bugger them up too, and put them in the folder c:\somewhereonmyhard\ffswhyhere\omgwheresmyssgone\cantfindchatlogs\xporvistawhocares\outofHDspace\soddingbillgatesandhisshitefilingsystem\eathic\lotm or \toa

When ya done all that dinner should be ready and then you can play Battlefield 2142 for 4 hours more while waiting for your download....

Not everyone will have BPs to buy scrolls so they will still sell.

As for making money , maybe we will see more Keep/Tower takes to have control of DF ?

Mythic should take more interest in updating DF/Laby/PoC with more tasks and ways to earn money ... to stimulate RVR in the Frontiers.

Maybe make all 3 open in the same way as DF does at the moment ?

Would Give RVRers more to do ...while pleasing the farmers amongst us :)
