Just log into the game client and it will auto-download the patch for you. Im not sure how this will work for players when we upgrade to the 3.0 expansion.
I can't do pc the whole thing is too complicated for me.
On another, note, I started the download early this morning at 8am est before I went to work and I didn't see it having any troubles.

It's acceptable as long as you aren't shouting across zones asking questions about things that are directly in the patch notes. RTFPN is a friendly cousin to RTFM.

Yes 1000000 times to this. Going to level thaumaturge just to avoid this madness....

If it's like any other MMO, it will be the same process. Log in, it downloads/installs, then you continue playing. Even if you don't buy the ex-pac it will probably install as your client needs to be up-to-date to keep playing the version you DO own. Newer areas will just be blocked off until you buy the unlock key.

That's how XI did it. Everyone got the patch come release day, but if you tried to zone somewhere you couldn't it would just kick you back out at the loading screen and tell you you need the expansion to continue on.

My experience this morning before work:
Drink tea and eat apple while patch downloads.
Eat second apple cause patch still downloading.Â
Patch finishes downloading, log in.
In Ul'dah. Seems empty teleport to Limsa.
Limsa is full.
Heads to rogue guild.
Small army of people there.
Shove way through crowd to get quest and spend 5 minutes trying to click on quest giver.
Get molested by two miqo'te girls.
Get quest and go to La Noscea to kill things.
Hordes of ninjas all camping spawns which are all dead.
Log off to go to work marvelling how this game became. "World OF Ninjas" overnight.
Believe it!
(Think I said last part right, never watched Naruto. Lol)

I believe someone promised to show Melodia around Ul'dah as well.
RE: Upcoming Patch (READ!) - Kage - 10-28-2014
Ultrso fight is pretty interesting. Minion seems to be 100% drop
Qarn bosses aren't toooh bad. I dont know what the mechanics are but the first boss seemed to need to just have head and others killed while avoiding Quicksand and dropping the taeget sand ball away from people. The second boss seems to need adds to go down ASAP. I'm not sure what the last boss needs but stay away from its front and stay away from facing the sarcophagi.
SasTasha first boss requires fast esuna or leeches. Can't rely on tank stuns especially if tank is stunned himself.
some mobs in the dungeon are healed by brine. For second boss the longer he shoots the more damage buff he gets. I think damage to him will stop it if the damage reaches a certain %. Last boss I ignored one cretain set of named adds.
Haven't fought shiva or snowcloak yet

i've been waiting so long for long down hair for male miqo'te lol

I had to go to the dentist today and I took a nap, so I'm behind on the whole thing. Just started downloading, and I have 160 minutes to go. ><

Literally the only person who got the patch and went 'meh' at most of it.
Even if I wanted to touch Rogue, that part of Limsa is so busy that it lags to hell. Had an FC member constantly DC attempting to talk to the NPC in there. Aleport is basically Rogue haven right now so that was fun, all that lag trying to get to the Sastasha unlock.
I have a funny feeling that even though Soldiery has replaced Myth in the roulettes, it actually pays out less per instance. And the hunt marks to get the soldiery gear? Wow. I did however find see a pair of myth earrings in a dungeon though so, I know where that gear has gone.
I don't know, maybe it was all the hype leading up to it but now that it's here and I can play it? Not as exciting as I thought it would be.

You're not alone. All I was excited about is the additional clothing.
But now that it's dropped and people are on there, what is the exchange rate of Myth to Soldiery? I was sure to cap my Myth before the patch.
