SO like so many others yesterday may launcher stopped working. At first it'd give me the 510 error about the patchi manifest, and then refuse to repair even when that option came up. So I uninstalled the program and tried to reinstall it so I could patch overnight.
Now it won't go past the background image with a "LOADING...." message the only thing on there. Even after hours of waiting it's yet to come back up.
However my backup machine at my parent's house works fine but is so old that I can't do anything in the game aside form crafting, and shopping.
This has also occured once before and I couldn't get in for the better part of five days. Hopefully this time everyone won't go home for the weekend before fixing the issue.
EDIT: I've also tried the other work arounds given. Port Forwarding didn't do zilch, dumping the DNS didn't do zilch, etc, etc. And that patch manifest link doesn't even
work.
EDIT 2: Brought my main machine over to the location where I could get the patcher to launch on my other machine. However I still can not get past that "Loading...." message. There's not even a patcher menu to click on still.
IF this gets ignored for the entire weekend again I'm afraid I'll have to put my subscription on Hiatus until the game provides proper fixes for its own technical issues.
