Newbie with a few questions
No, no and no.
The patcher doesn’t tell you mostly because it doesn’t know. It knows which files need to be fetched but it doesn’t know their size. You can stop it an any time and it can resume from there. The % is just relative to the number of files remaining.
Hi there! There isn’t a couples system that I’m aware of. I’ve played with my boyfriend since launch, and we’re perfectly content just to party up together. Our favorite thing to do is run dungeons just the two of us. Personally, I’m glad there isn’t a marriage system, because we have a lot of different characters that we play at different times, and I think a marriage system would just be weird for us. That being said, there is a married couple in our guild that gave their characters matching last names, which to me indicates pretty strongly that they’re married, so I suppose you could always do that!
As far as patch info, I’m not aware of anything like that either. Usually I just let it patch while I do something else. They don’t usually take very long, I’ve found.
Welcome to Tyria! I hope you two enjoy your time in game, it really is the most fun game my boyfriend and I have found to play together.
