Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, it’s been a while since I’ve played but I want to get back into the game so I’m downloading it again. I see the installer UI hasn’t changed while I was gone, which means you can’t see the total file size to download; only the file count. Can somebody take a quick peek at how big a fully updated version of GW2 is, so I know what kind of damage I’m due for?

Edit: I just realized that the final install size might be different from the download size, as I distinctly remember the game taking up somewhere between 16-20gb and yet my download is 6% done at 521mb downloaded so far. That would be 100% at 8.68gb.

21.3GB

Sounds about right for NA English version.

Thanks guys! Though I just realized that the installer download size must be compressed, so I might not actually have to download 21gb of data.

There’s an option that allows you to play without a full download. The game will then download the bits you need, as you need it. (I prefer to DL everything and wait once for a long time, rather than wait longer every time I do something new or go to a new map.)

Remember, the percentage shown is number of files downloaded that session, not the amount of data. So, you can’t determine the file size from the percent shown.

Welcome return.
