Q:
New build
A:
We will be doing a maintenance build today. Although you will see a “new build” notification in the game, no alterations are being made to the game at this time.

Why am i downloading stuff then?
By no alterations, they probably mean no visible alterations. I’m sure there’s plenty of stuff they can change in the gw2 code without it having a visible affect on the game.
Yeah. At time of writing: 24% 69mb. Huh?
Hmmm, 220 mb worth of "maintenance!
I don’t know what they’d be doing, but my other MMO does it all the time. Every week or two the servers come offline for maintenance, and there’s often stuff to download afterwards, even though there were no changes made to the game.
“Life’s a journey, not a destination.”
Any time the ‘build’ changes, we download a new copy of the client to match it. So today’s ~80MB possibly constitutes the smallest possible update.
Before I came here I played LOTRO. They would shut down ALL servers, even EU, but using US time, and sometimes the servers would not be back up for until midnight (EU time).
I’d often lose a whole days play every two weeks. GW2 is far better.

Do you see anything concerning with your post ?
Surely, it’s a conspiracy!!
