Holy hell, that patch size. Part of me wonders why they waited until the evening to release this patch.

The worst part is I keep getting connection errors every 20 seconds or so… It will take a loooooong time to download it.

This world needs more people being frank and less people being offended.

It was moving at a snails pace, now it errored out. Connection errors.

This is why you provide the update BEFORE HAND, so people can download it throughout the week. Then flick a switch and make it live… Another game does this and it is successful.

If they had the update beforehand, do you think they would wait until now to push it? Obviously there were some issues

If they provided the files in advance, Im sure they have the technology to enable said files serverside…limiting the amount of people downloading at once. This is a result of a few million people world wide trying to download the patch all at once. It was going SO slow, then stopped.

if they are giving us patch build version 5, they can push the previous most complete version and then the “switch” patch contains anything they changed from build version 4 to version 5 and whatever is needed to make it live on the server, which is much smaller.

this is very useful when they place patches with such great timing in terms of the number who would be online.. but oh well, guess i will not be playing till tomorrow as this will take forever

Exactly, the problem wasn’t ANET fixing the patch today, they could have down this anytime while people could have been patching the entire game. The game will be unplayable, and I doubt…maybe even sure that 90% of the player base won’t be playing tonight.

Timed out originally but downloading now. If I had to guess, it looks to be 500-600MB.

It’s kinda funny how everyone thinks their time zone is the only one.
