It is also MUCH faster.

And; how does 5 hours hurt you? the downtime is over 10 hours!

I am looking forward to being able to purchase the energy wings from the celestial armor set some time in the far, far future.

Cannot wait to log on as my scrappy human form PB and see how she performs with the couple of minor changes that were done.

Poison Trap: Reduced this power's interrupt time from 4 to 2 seconds. This power now deals minor damage over time, will hold foes instead of put them to sleep and will reduce the affected targets' recovery while they're within the poison gas. This power now accepts Hold enhancements and IO Sets and Damage enhancements and Melee AoE IO Sets and can no longer accept sleep enhancements and IO sets. Additionally, this power no longer has an interrupt time.
Does this power have an interrupt time or not?

5hrs?! You may need to make sure your yarn is tight, I think you might be getting some packet loss.

I know I will see you again on another game somewhere - one game can't hold all us crazies forever.

Some people just need to be on the cross at all times for the attention, I guess.

5 hours. 303:21 minutes remaining. 134KB/sec. And that's just for the download, no idea how long it'll take to actually patch.

Actual downtime didn't matter because I was asleep. I tried the updater a few hours ago and there was no listing for updating. Whereas I tried it about 20 minutes ago and it finally gave the option to update.

Not "faster" to me. I've always been able to download patches at the cap of my bandwidth. This new patcher is not measurably, to me, faster than the old one. Plus, apparently, it has the added downside of not allowing predownloads. In other words, it got worse with the switchover.

Thank you.
