    almost t every time i log on every week there is a unsceduled update to the game that interfers with my play time on my days off 3 times so far this week and it's nothing that couldn't have waited till the next release next week it's getting to the point where i'm thinking why should i even bother logging on maybe i should just go play another game like Grim Dawn the new expansion is coming out next week

    i even played the offline mode while the servers where down the other day and while you have made the the game much easyer for new players online and off line i really don't want to waste time in offline when i could be working on my main char

    it actually might not be that bad playing in offline while servers where down if if your online char was transfered to offline like you do with test server

    Is it true that clients tethered to Steam face an entire game download at every patch rather than the fast little midweek patches of the untethered client?

    untill the last two releases they have never taken the severs down for a update a week after the new release they usally don't even update during the weekend so we can get some uninterupted play time then and instead of doing website update yesterday and todays patch all in one day they they do two back to back downtimes instead just one

    Wasn't the latest one 6 mb on Steam? Maybe you haven't updated in a while?

    Except the last patch was 6 MB on Steam. And the one a few before that was 3 MB.

    I for one and jumping up and down with joy that they've finally figured out how to do small patches!

    Compared to doing 2 Gigs, I'll settle for 6 megs.

    More evidence that no matter what they do, someone will complain.

    patches shortly after releases usually are "oops, i screwed up" or "holy sh!t" patches

    If you are referring to that outage the other day, that was not intended. Something went down, and they scrambled to fix it.

    I have nothing on Steam. So don't know if this is possible? Could one start up a new build without steam (since it's free). Then transfer all your stuff to the new build? As easy as it is to grow skills these days it shouldn't take too long to rebuild the character.

    you don't need to transfer anything. you can use the standalone patcher even if you bought it through steam.

    I see there are no patch notes. Did ranged receive the promised nerf?

    I think the last patch was just for POT changes. Unless there is an additional patch since the livestream.
