They need to fix the download / patch operations, this is taking a ludicrous amount of time.

    Did you try to download from the mirror hosting?

    They should be getting a new launcher soon to help address this issue.

    I don't understand the hype for this game when it doesn't even download properly. If you are lucky enough to get into the actual game you get cut off and the server, which was all green and shiny when you started, becomes red and tells you it's down for repairs. I've tried the fix and that doesn't do squat. 
    The one time I did get in the movement was god awful and since then I ran a repair and haven't been able to get back on since. 
    Please guys. You want this game to work. We want this game to work. Fix the problems and don't leave it on us to do it for you. 
    Also... I know English isn't your first language but please fix the grammar issues.

    I have but, to this day, no one has answered. I think I come off as all ragey and shit. I had such high hopes for the game and after the initially long install process I was looking forward to some low fantasy shenanigans. So now I wait for the fix and prepare to have to install it all over again.

    Its a valid question, but one we should not have to ask.

    I would argue if your downloading from an NA IP block the game shouldn't try to use an EU server for the download. There should be no "NA mirror" site option. It should automatically detect your region and route you to the appropriate data center.  Its kind of the basics.

    They read these forums religiously, the official forums have little to no activity on them.

    I've had no issues downloading and installing the patches. I would assume you have a normal HDD? I have an SSD, so it's kinda slow, but I'd imagine with an HDD it'd be very slow.

    I have had 1 friend have a lot of issues with it though. 1 out of 10. You should get crash logs and stuff if it fails. I'd send those into the troubleshooting forum.

    I have decent internet as well, and it doesn't matter what mirror I download it from.

    Also, the game's in pre-alpha, and unlike MOST development teams, the GV devs don't think of a "Pre-alpha" as a "Games nearly done guys" title. To them it means that the game is still VERY much under development, so don't get so discouraged, still a few years before the game releases probably, lots of time to fix any issues it has. Also a very small team and are asking for people to help translate.

    Also, it's a 10 dollar investment to get into the alpha.

    You will need a relatively good computer to run this game.

    I've had no issues as far as speed goes for patches or download. Make sure any game you run as admin for patching because sometimes that can create issues... While the game is slightly slower to patch than other games you do need to keep in mind that this is a SMALL dev team that isn't flat out rolling in cash so they are going to go with what they are able to afford in that realm. Do not expect there to be something as fast as blizzard or a huge company can grab be realistic and realize that this is going to be a generally slow process. Finish the download and don't wait a long long time between patching...

    Looking like darkfall 2.0.  Heck, literally looks identical just in a different setting.  Games like this are fun, assuming they are stable and aren't plagued with hacks, which is something that tends to happen with the unity engine.

    Because it isn't a game yet.  Sounds like you are addicted to it.  Which could be good but realize this isn't a game yet its just a test,  only a test.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    I'm on their forums on occasion, got a link to your post over there? There is a patch coming, perhaps they are already aware of the problem.

    Just saying,  the game is in pre alpha and a small team making it, English is not their first language as you yourself pointed out, and they have a small budget. They clearly state the game is not in a finished state. So just consider the factors of their development process before you start shooting off, as you are going to offend more people then you will inspire. Also your negative reviews,  which mainly stem from your own issues(misunderstanding/internet/poor pc), could hinder some players who would have no issues. The place for your criticism is their official foruns, which they are quite active on(whenever there is a new post to follow).

    Also as someone stated, this phase is still very much a testing phase, and as I'm sure your feedback is cherished, it is ill prepared and lacking lots of useful information to help you diagnosis the issue.

    In the words of flight of the concord "Be more constructive with your feedback."

    Downloading was not slow for me, it was the processing (Installing the files) which seemed to take a super long time (Over 4+ hours) to complete.

    I've never had it not download correctly, and I've been part of the alpha for over a year. The grammar can be fixed towards the end of development; it's really arbitrary to focus on it at this point.

    Detail your bugs in the official forums so they can be resolved instead of bitching about them here.

    If you're having issues, you should send them your logs from your folder, to see what the issue is and if they can fix it.

    Couldn't you just set the download in the morning when you get up and then have it ready when you get home? Or do that for two days and it should be done.

    Unless it doesn't let you download in separate sessions?
