While I am happy to see that Ascaron is making frequent patches and all it makes me wonder why they need to be so huge. The first main patch was 450 megs or so, and now the 2.31 patch is 620 megs. I remember when a huge game was that much, not just a patch.
They also need faster servers since it is going to take me over 2 hours to get the patch it looks like and it should take like 5 minutes, oh well I guess.

Ok so I got the patch installed and it seems to be working well. First thing I noticed is that my char seems to attack a lot faster.
Wolfe will be happy to know that locations show up on the world map now, although they are not always there, but if you move your mouse around they will pop up, so it helps.
The world map also shows the locations of portals all the time which I do not remember from before.
I saw a new modifer on items that is ranged defense now also.
The screen shots still sadly do not work the way a lot of people think they should though.

You can try the autoupdater program the game comes with, I would assume it would just have you download some huge file that would take the game from stock to 2.32, or whatever the new version is. If not then just download all the files that have a higher number than you do and install them in order; if you have the US version then I think you would only need one patch, which would be the 2.12 to 2.32.
Let me know if you plan to play online anytime soon as I would like to adventure with you again.

So, anybody who has put the new patch on how are the item drops for you? I saw that one of the things the patch does is that it increases the number of set items dropped, and I would guess also for rares. Well I have played for several hours and I have had an amazing 0 items drop, and before the patch I would get like 2 or 3 an hour, albeit they were just the junk random ones, but it still seems that I am getting far less now.

Not much luck for set items here either. After patch (2 days ago) I only have one more set item, with a Shadow Warrior around level 30, 70% SB in Silver.
Before patch I have 5 other set items, mostly from my Pyro mage around level 40 and over 90% SB in bronze.

Set items have dropped at a higher rate for me and I am still in bronze with my Sera. But I am happy to say only one crash since the patch was installed!! Still have lag issues at times but those I can deal with for now. Still in SP, MP seems a bit scary to me for now.

HHhmm, I think the patch did say more sets at lower levels, so maybe that is my problem since I am in gold right now. I did start a new char though, maybe I should play him and see what happens.
I have noticed a lot less crashes though too, like I think none actually. I even put the game to the test today by using fraps a whole lot which used to crash for me like every 4 minutes, and it did not crash once. I even left it running since I forgot to turn it off and no problems, so I think the game is now playable.

I just found a new set item with my Shadow Warrior (level 34)... it's the Astral Lord set's greaves. Too bad it's the aspect I don't use...

The set drop rate is increased indeed... I found 4 (yes, four!!!) SW pieces today.
