Hi guys,

Been ages since I was playing Guild Wars 2 , the joys of studying engineering I’m afraid. Now with some more free time on my hands I am looking to get going again.

But I did have one question regarding updates. I understand that many a patch has been released since I last played which was very early January of this year. I was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas on how big the updates will be? Preferably as a number.

Any help you guys can give regarding this matter is appreciated.

Either way thank you for taking the time to read this and don’t forget to smile
Have a lovely day.

This link will give you a good idea of what has been added and removed since January. Really it will do you much better just to read this than ask everyone here, as you will get mixed information and conflicting opinions.

Thanks for the link. But it really doesn’t answer my question :/

I am after the size (hence the “how big”) of the updates in terms of megabytes (or more likely gigabytes) rather then amount of changes that have been done. Trying to triage my remaining usage for this month that’s all.

Not sure what is you want out of this smile, do you want us to recommend a class? Recommend how to level? Recommend what dungeons to run? The game has gotten a lot of updates, classes are a bit different from what they used to be, but not drastically. WvW has had a lot of content updates and bug fixes, so its a different animal from six months ago. They have fixed some issues with dungeons, and added a newt dungeon thats extremely challenging to PUGs. In any case narrow down what you want, or just dive right into the game and learn about it as you play.

I have no idea how large the update will be since I have no clue what patches you do/do not have, if you logged in and patched one day or something, etc. It’s going to vary based pretty much off the week you quit.

I wish I could be more helpful, but I would say at least 2gb worth of patching.

Not really.
We simply cannot say as we don´t have any idea how the patcher will work for you. Or what it downloads.
For instance there has been a very nice dungeon that isn´t now in the game anymore. Will the patcher add it to your batch? We don´t really now.

Just start the thing and you will see.
BTW, keep us posted. This is actually a quite interesting topic.

P.S. my .dat is 19.1gigs, but about 1.5(I think?!) of that are the German soundfiles.
