I had one patch (8 MB) for Sacred and even before that it worked flawless.
I have to raise my eyebrow about that, because I've had Sacred for two weeks, and it's just now barely playable. They're up to a 1.66 patch--that's 6 major patches, and 6 minor ones--and many game features still don't work properly. They've actually just asked players what they want fixed, next.
It's so hard to talk to fanboyz & girlz (try dissing IDOLS winners on a 14 year old, same effect)... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
Just as a word of advice, you'll find it becomes even harder talking to people after you've sneered at them as fanboyz and girlz. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Personally, I consider both Sacred and <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> pretty damned buggy and badly balanced, though I'm sure both will soon deliver what they promised. I'd be more sympathetic to what you write if you hadn't chosen a product that's been lambasted for bugs even worse than <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> as the epitome of quickly repaired problems.
