Here’s what people thought of GW1 when it first came out: http://tinyurl.com/bntcvyc
“A release is 7 days or less away or has just happened within the last 7 days…
These are the only two states you’ll find the world of Tyria.”
What I don’t get is why parts of it in the game such as TP preview, but not the whole patch? Or has TP preview been in for a few days now and I’ve just never noticed?
Also, Anet you really need to set time frames for your patches, this guessing when each of the major patches are coming out is beyond stupid now. Never have I played a game where you had to guess up to the last second when the patch is going to go live. For us living in places such as UK we get told the 26th, but it’s always actually the day after. Infact, the whole lack of information from Anet needs to be improved on a whole, as I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m getting sick of always being left in the dark.
We’re aware that some folks are experiencing connection errors. Please be patient. The patch is around 500 MB, and everybody is trying to get the patch at the same time. Thanks for your understanding.

It’s slowly chugging along, with errors here and there. Still a lot better than patch day with most other games I’ve played. Usually involved hours of downtime, so it’s hard to actually complain about this.
Glad to have patch notes to read through while I wait, though. Thanks for getting those posted up before the patch got pushed out.
edit: It’s actually going pretty fast now. Speed fluctuates, but it’s hitting 50-75% of my bandwidth.

I was getting the connection error but for some reason when I open the launcher and didn’t log in it downloaded fine without any errors. So hopefully that helps some of you.
Hey Anet… umm I guess you didn’t know but we all love your game!!! Just a suggestion…. maybe in the future you can consider doing a trickle download in the background a couple days before for the majority of the 500 – 800 megs of files then there is less downtime and less frustration! Thanks!

Just curious. ANet guys, you do know why most games patch between 3-6 AM? So that some can get the patch downloaded early and then the hit on the download servers is smaller. Instead, this one hit as the East and Central time zone players got home from work/school. So EVERYONE is downloading the patches at the same time.

Right now GW2 launcher shows inly the amount of files and percentage of downloaded patch. That information isn’t worth a kitten thing.
How about letting us know how many megabytes has currently downloaded patch and time remaining until its downloading is finished? You know, the actual useful info.
