The anticipation is killing me. :-) This has to be the first set of patch notes in a long while that I’ve looked at and thought, “AWESOME!”

If by best patch in history, you mean that guild chat is broken, random warrior shouts are happening all over, joining parties is broken… the list goes on.

Honestly, I stopped home about an hour ago for my lunch break, patched and loaded without hesitation. I did see a Dev sitting in LA during the short time I was on poking around, so I’m sure they are on it, have patience!

AWESOME!!! We finally have the camera control of a PS2 game. It’s about time. Anet – give whomever did the bulk of the work on this a raise, and a cookie, and perhaps punish him for setting alight the grail shaped beacon, eh?

Right now, I love you guys – so very much.

Only beef is that for some reason I was automatically unrepped from all guilds.

Awesome for the camera and the stability changes.

Awful for the bugs, bugs, and bugs it brought. Luckily the patch was delayed for one week, else, maybe all our characters would have been deleted?

I finished patching. The FoV takes some getting used to, but wow do I love it. The camera changes have made me want to explore southsun cove on my necro. Luckily, he hasn’t explored that part yet, so it should feel like new. As for the shadow weapons, eh, I’m not a fan of the asymmetrical horns and bones poking out from the left and the right.

I’m still waiting on some gallery updates so I can see what the three new faces are for each race before I plunk down some gems.

Oh, and I’m getting guild chat updates in guilds I’m not repping. So that was unexpected.

50% through patch, this First-Person camera change seems best suited for PvE though. I tend to stay to PvP so just gonna have to how the other features feel

So glad you’re enjoying it!

If someone is having difficulty downloading, consider completely closing the GW2 window and logging back in. If you have part of the download you will not start over, but merely pick up where you left off. I find this is helpful, at times, in getting a download to complete on what is (as I’m sure you can imagine) a very busy day for the servers.

Well this was a rather large patch in size. I got to 938MB at 98% when it started having connection issues. Thankfully it finished up from what I can tell.

Seriously ANET, can’t we have a “n of total” download listing on the launcher by now?

I’ll have to check out the new faces. I have a total makeover kit just sitting in my bank right now.

I’ve been on 1% since 10 mins after the patch went live… I closed Gw2, I turned my Pc off and back on… Intensely annoying since i’m on ts and my friends are saying its so cool and they’re sending 1st person views D;

1 file remaining… Just wow…

Gaile – there appears to be a bug where new traits cannot be purchased. could someone look into that, as well as the having to set to offline then online again to get guild chat back?

Otherwise, epic patch, guys.

My client’s got some connection issues and started flickering. After closing and reopening, it patched normally up to 99% complete (all 1GB and 10000 files), but then started getting red-text connection issues and flickering all over again.

I restarted my computer, tried again, and now I’m downloading at as measly 0.1mb/s, with “1 file remaining” at 0% complete. It might get to 15-20mb complete at 0% still, before flickering with a red connection-lost message again.

Could somebody please fire some suggestions by way?

My view is this on the Camera changes:

1st Person is for exploration.

3rd Person is for Fights. There will never be viable 1st person combat in this game. Fights are too mobile to survive without the third person view.

If folks are complaining about the 1st person view in combat, your doing it wrong. I was most looking forward to the angled up 3rd Person camera change.

I have the exact problem :/ Hopefully fixed soon. Might try restarting router if no one gives suggestion and see if that works.

I have no issues with WvW maps no longer required for world completion.
However, I really feel that removing WvW map completion rewards was a bad choice.

This won’t stop me from playing WvW every now and then, but it would’ve been cool to get a reward for getting 100% at one of the WvW maps, since it’s no easy task to complete.

also ANets biggest Update so far in history xD

omg, can’t believe it, that size, must be like 1 GB oz so, am actually at over 500 Mb and it has still way over 6000 foles to load xD

PS. ok 1 GB is exaggerated, my more proper guess would be its over at like 800 Mb , buthats still insane ^^

PPS , its over and its freakign seriously 897 MB !!!

EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN MEGABYTES !!

good lord, what in hell is the reason for this size !! lol, thats like the size of like 3 Living Story Patches together!!

PPPS : first sight, urgh ,BUG ?? are now the Loading Screens changed or what, or is it normal that they are now showed in much smaler sizes, that we see now alot more black background oO

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside

I love the new camera, especially the larger field of view. But I wonder why in in first person view both mouse buttons turn the whole character. I’d like to be able to turn my head only with left mouse button. No need for realism here, I’d like to be able to look directly behind me too, or rotate my head 360 degrees if I feel like it

Another thing I worry about is the limited view of items sold by karma vendors, weapon vendors and such. I’d like to be able to view all the items, whether my current character can use them or not. Sometimes, when doing hearts on low lvl zones for example, I buy stuff that’s not compatible if I want to unlock a skin or a collectible. That’s impossible now, as far as I can tell. If there’s a setting for this, but I just haven’t found it yet, please advice

After following the advice to close GW2 and start it up again, I’m currently 106 MB into downloading the final file apparently, with the window flickering madly over connection problems. To think that, when I originally started the game, I thought I’d arrive in Divinity’s Reach in good time to visit the Shadow Behemoth… 90 minutes ago…

We’re sorry for the delays that some of you are having. I’ll pad down the hallway and see if there are any issue on our side, but I really believe this is just the normal “update = higher volume” situation.

Also, while we’re talking about the update, I’d like to point to a known issue in case you were concerned about a seeming change to your ability to make acquisitions using any character.

Just back from a walk to the other side of the building, and there are absolutely no issues with the download on our side. It’s a meaty download, to be sure, but I advise that you just sit tight and let it do its thing, or you could try again later in the day when traffic may be lower.

Most of us have been sitting tight at speeds of 20KB/sec here in the EU (im in the UK) with 1 file remaining and considering how big the patch is, that’s a long wait.
