Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

[Holla]

I really hope the DLC comes out in the morning as I work all day, and my internet is terribly slow. The last Smash Bros update (450MB) took about 4 hours. I'll need just about all day for the 1GB MK8 DLC download. It'd be nice to play it when I get home rather than leaving it to download overnight...

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? It took me maybe 15 minutes.

I think it took me one hour.

So who's going to be staying up/waking up and getting on when the DLC releases? I know me and Jingle are. (4AM karting really is the best honestly.)

Yes! It's going to be fabulous. My friend and I are going to power nap and get up to play haha. I'm so excited, work was torture today because I just had all of the soundtracks stuck in my head. xD

I'm not kidding... I live 2mins outside of town MAX and there is high speed in town, but not here.

I'm just glad that it seems that online play for (MK8 anyways) works on my slow internet.

Just to be clear, the maintainance will be from 12:30 - 2AM PDT, (4AM CDT for me) and the DLC will be released at 2AMPDT (4AM CDT). Is 2AM PDT when it releases for everyone, or does it release at 2AM for each specific timezone/region?

It would be 2AM PDT for everyone, but it might release around 12:30 instead. The Smash update last week had maitnence for 12-1 AM and the update was released around 12:05.

I think the last DLC was given a 1am-2am pacific slot and was out within about 15 mintues I think. I know I was playing it before their timeslot was up. So they definitely do overestimate these things.

Mine took maybe an hour and a half. I remember because it took forever for my update to actually show up when all my Skype friends were already updating theirs, then I was sitting waiting for the longest time while everyone else was playing.

That was with my old router though. I got a new high-tech one so hopefully it won't take long this time. Hopefully.

 

[00ToxicLove00]

Mine only took like 10-15 mins

 

[JJarmon]

Mine will take forever. We just moved, so our neighbor is letting us use their internet until we get ours installed, so I'm counting on it taking at least an hour. x'D Mewtwo on SSB4 took virtually no time at all, but this is a much bigger package. Either way, I can't wait!

 

[Zigzag991]

I'm karting now if anyone wants to join!

 

[Pokemanz]

Ahhh I'm too tired to battle properly. xD

Hopefully I'll wake up soon.

I'm in!

 

[Cress]

I'll join Zig! Just need to help a friend with Awakening first.

 

[Javocado]

Gonna switch rooms after this one, Puff.
In case you wondering where Zig and I went lol.

 

[Cress]

I like the old room more, I did better there lol

Heading to bed for a power nap - looking forward to racing at 2 a.m. with anyone else that's staying up/waking up for it! Feel free to add me, just let me know who you are (if it's not obvious).

My racing isn't going to be the best since I'm a couple glasses of wine in LOL but it'll be awesome regardless. Less that 3 hours to go, woohoo!

 

[Pokemanz]

Anyone playing right now? I'll be on for a bit until the server goes down.

 

[Cress]

10 more minutes of 3.0.
Woop.
