If they arent from mature herbs where are they from now lol?

Should have seen wow patch days…. 4 hour que to even log into the game. I’ve never had a patch take more then 5-10min to download. I usually get home from work turn on computer start gw2 up and by the time i’m out of the shower it’s on character screen. I live in Australia so I’m no where near there servers. Must be mostly people’s Internet thats slow (not talking about connection issue that’s just too many people at one time to trying to connect)

80% done
460MB down

its like sim city beta all over again

I’m in but Metrica is not loading, the gold thing just sits there and spins around in a circle.

Yep, seen those patch times Jp, then again this isnt 2004

I guess all you people with super-fast download speeds are in the US? Over here in the EU I’m hovering between 0 and 40KB/sec with the occasional mad spurt up to 80KB/sec.

No, i ussually get between 5-10 (running wireless, so it’s not as fast as my actual download speed.) MB download over in europe.

EU connection is actually not as bad as you think, it’s more or less that in the US alot of people are working or at school.

Over here it’s like 22/23/24-.00 ?
So alot of people are downloading at the same time, which resolves in a mad drop, i’m hovering between 600-700kb and occassionally dropping down to 5 kb

I’d agree except…my download started the same time as everybody elses, some of them have finished and I’ve barely reached 8%…

Ok, in the time it took me to type that it shot up to 20% and is now downloading at 300+KB/sec, strange…but welcome.

Took a while, but it’s done.

Now it just sits on the Lions Arch screen with the animated symbol in the lower right corner of the screen. :/

Same here Yaos, LA will not load at all.

Yea it loaded up but when I try to zone in the circle just keeps spinning in LA, the world completion stats don’t show up.

Well I am in, but heck it feels slow when I move around.

@ lunawisp.. I am UK at its fluctuating between 10KB/sec and 1MB/sec… but the EU has its own servers surely otherwise I am pretty happy with 1MB/sec if the servers are States side

Hmm, that’s a point. I always assumed that the data was downloaded from the US. If it’s downloaded from individual servers then that would explain why our busy one tends to have slow downloads on patch days.

So..everyone on Desolation please log out now so I can get my download

Well actually I only really took around 7mins start to finish for me, even with all the disconnects etc… so not too shabby I guess.

However my FPS has seriously plummeted after the patch.. 30minutes ago I was getting a reasonably solid 40ish FPS I am now getting single digit FPS to a max of around 15FPS – I am only running around the Grove, hate to think what it will drop to if I push the WvW button or go run a dragon zerg.

O DEAR… and so it begins… game crashes back out to desktop and the GW2.exe serious error report screen comes up…. well at least its consistant I guess.
