really?? 2 mechs is a 500mb patch??
how is it 500mb without having new game content?
or do the new cockpit items take up that much space?

[MadPanda]

Oh, so I'm not the only one who was wondering why the patch is 500mb with one hero mech and some trivial store items...

Well this post is dumb
I've come to the conclusion that if you're determined to be be upset with this game you're going to be upset no matter what happens.

Maybe they added a little extra secret

Kit fox textures

[Pope RW]

No improvements to the game just more s*it for the store.

Probably part of the upcoming AUG 19 patch so we don't have a 2 hour download coming up.

That would be the logical conclusion.

But it is PGI we're talking about so logic is out the window.

Secret map? Frodo for Terra Therma? CW1 already inside? More Bug fixes than announced?

Well I don't know about complaining, but it does seem a rather large patch for what is in it. *shrug*

You got a Hero mech with crap quirks, what more do you want?

Or maybe it's a whole new batch of bugs to compensate for the fixes. Even more broken HSR, reduced connection reliability, improved lag-shields?

[Zack Esseth]

We need some of the lost ark raiders to go looking through the code and see what is hidden away!

[JoJoxy]

Angry you get to see "nothing new" 2 minutes later then in a 250meg patch?

[Graugger]

Waiting for the hotfix for this patch now.

[Sandpit]

Items, that's more than likely why it's so big, but yea, 500mb is rather large for such a minor patch. Anyone know the current size of MWO at the moment? Just curious

Didn't you know ?? PGI is in league with your ISP !!
Its all part of the plan to confuse you and give you big empty downloads and to eat up your data usage at the beginning of the month !! This way everyone makes money, PGI sells you that new "must have" "hero/champ" that they just "made you buy" while pointing an AC20 to your head ! and ur ISP win cause big downloads at the beginning of the month get you ever closer to reaching your data limit were they can start charging you my the mb to make more $$..

The MB are OP. This is clearly Bandwidthaggeddon all over again.
