Guild Wars 2

Hi Guys,

So I just purchased a hard copy of GW2 went through the CD install process however now the installer is downloading 75,000 files???? Am I correct in saying that I still need to DL 7gigs?

Also does the client download all these files or does it also zip files for quicker progress?

I started the DL yesterday and I am only 28% done, so far i have downloaded 2.5gigs

I have attached a screenshot of the client (just in case :-)

Any advise will be appreciated :-)

Hope to be jamming soon :-)

yes, that is normal for a fresh install. currently, GW2’s size is 15GB. i myself had to go through more than 5 hours of patching before i actually played the game. just go do something else while waiting. like watching a movie, or you could leave your pc running while you sleep so that when you wake up, you can play immediately.

Its perfectly normal for MMOs to have to patch after install. But is that your normal internet speed??? 40kb is reaaaaally low! =o Mine is 2mb the lowest. One thing I can say though is that I have re-installed GW2 twice now and never had such a huge patch before so there may be something wrong here or maybe my computer somehow stored the previous patches to make it faster.

hi guys, thanks for your feedback, DL is now complete :-) will hopefully see u guys in-game
