Downloading file. This is going to take a while, but that's fine.
 
2 hours in. Patch failed. Uh.. why?
 
Go to website. Website says run as administrator. Doesn't work. Ok, so maybe a startup application is causing conflict. All of my start up programs are common and should not be causing problems. Website says ok, firewall issue? No. Shut up.
 
So I come to the forums and everyone is complaining about the patching server being down. Great. Why is my computer being blamed for problems caused by the website? If the patch server is down, shouldn't the patching application be able to notify me that is the case instead of running me through useless troubleshooting? Or at least the patcher could tell me to visit the website to check the forums so I don't needlessly delete my game files like some people have already done.
 
This leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully what I've already experienced isn't going to be an indication of what's to come.

			One day people realize that taking off work or starting a new game on Tuesday's is a really bad idea in general.

			Solution: Avoid gaming on Tuesday.

Everyone, huh?
 
Also, what patch? My launcher doesn't show that there are anything to patch. Is it an EU thing?

Hey there, 
 
The patch server was indeed having a bit of trouble, but it should be back up and going now. Here's the dev thread with updates - https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/100347-patch-server-issues-72214/
