Guild Wars 2

Might be in the wrong section of the forum.. but who knows.
What does all these minor updates do ???

Today i added another 50 MB to my game. And nothing to read about What was done.
(not counting all the other countless minor updates)…

Are we getting stealth buffs / nerfs all over all classes ???

Are they putting in Patches for future realese ?
Like only activating on specific days…

Is it hard to put an official quick info from the devs ?
“we are putting in smaller updates from time to time, instead of one big”.
“We fixed some bugs – Info here:…”

I want to see what is happening… or am i alone to want this information about the game iam playing.

Right now its like taking your car to a workshop. getting it back the day after and you have no idea what they did, only giving a paper: “we did some things”… …

Minimum patch size is 50 mb for technical reasons. It’s likely they stealth patched certain exploits, at least that’s what I hear through the grapevine.

You can check here for game updates: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news

Particularly in this case: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Game-Update-Notes-April-30-2013/first#post1990339

Everytime they patch, you can read the update notes in News and Announcements.

If you scroll down, you can see each patch, and what was added, fixed, etc.

They also put them on the wiki

When a new build is released but nothing changes (a maintenance build) the game downloads 48 megs that is the size of the new executable for the new version, so usually when you see a download that size it’s because nothing changes.

In this particular case, though, what changed was that they fixed the lost and found items that were missins on some servers, most likely a server side change which is why nothing new was downloaded on the client side, other than the new version of the executable.

What Iocoman said.

Also, some players have noticed fragmentation of the dat file – see this reddit post on how to fix.
