DC Universe Online servers were down for maintenance today and when they came back up players were treated to Patch 1.03. Patch 1.03 is a 122MB patch for the PS3 and PC designed to fix glitches and even out difficulties.
122MB a LOT! I'm sorry the ONLY time I consider if a download is worth my time is if it's over a 1 gig, MIN. I downloaded Half-life 2 demo because I wanted to see how it would run, that was 5 GIG and I played it once. Today I re-downloaded another Ubuntu distro, KNOWING perfectly well that I wont need it for the sole reason of atleast causing my ISP some more traffic.
I'm on a very small 1.2mb ( Not bits, bytes ) and even then data isn't a worry. EXCEPT FOR GAMETRAILERS, THEIR VIDEO EVEN SD TAKE LITRALLY 2 HOURS TO BUFFER 4 MINUTES OF VIDEO... WHERE ARE THEIR GOD DAMN SERVER, ARE THEY ON SOME DUDES LAPTOP IN SIBERIA WHO HAS A UPLOAD RATE OF 0.1MB/S? First I believed it was me, so I closed EVERYTHING, except Gametrailers, still wouldn't buffer, then I went, on youtube watch a SC2 replay in 1080p without a pause, went back to gametrailers to find my SD video had managed to buffer for like 20 second of actual video and just went on giantbomb.
Good game, but not buying it, sorry I don't pay 3 times to play online, 'buy the game', pay net feeds, play online fee, pay xblg if its an xbox live got, wow 4 times, 2/3 of those times monthly for aspects of a game (actual game, monthly fee, xbobox live fee if need be?) No thanks.
I finally started playing today. I created a hero named Flaming Queen. I had actually created the character about a week ago, but I started over and used Hand Blaster instead of staff. I'm only level 3 right now but I just played through Brainiac's ship and am at the safehouse. Look for me on the Crisis server! I'm the orange and yellow flying guy :)
This game is addictive as hell. I have put in 4 hour play sessions and didn't really recognize the time fly by. I wasn't going to get the game because of the fees. But, I have some great friends and League mates (Untouchable Force Organization-Server The Killing Joke-Heroes) that actually went in to purchase the game for me...because I am broke and saving for KZ3. Man, I am SO GLAD that they did that. I can't quit playing!!!
WTF? 122MB is fucking tiny. Thats not a patch thats a hot patch. The real patch, the patch that will actually bring some real changes will be a lot bigger. Basically in the MMO world unless your patch is approaching 1 gig then it's small.
I don't trust ps3 online service that much for me to get it. I heard the online chat is shaky game probably would have been better on 360 as far as party chat and since 360 users already pay for online, I doubt that they complain more about the fees oh well...ya'll have fun wih this, I'll wait for kz3, and keep busy with marvel alliance2
Good to see they are already patching it.
Still need to pick this up
Hell yeah, this game is great also by the way.
