Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, so i got a new comp and i wanna put gw2 on it, however, i remember the harsh and brutal download/installation process and i just cant bare it. It took me probably 8 hours to install everything and this was like 7 months ago, i cant imagine how long it will take to install now. Is there any other way to install or even update everything quicker ?

Copy the copy folder from the old computer to the new one. Make a shortcut to gw2.exe. Run it. Only problem is the size of the dat file.

My old comp is gone and no more.. cant

If you know someone who has the game also, you can copy there GW2 folder to an external storage device, then when you copy it over, delete the local.dat file in there, so that it doesn’t hold the settings from there system, and run it, the game will update the dat file as needed, and recreate the local.dat file,

Its great the way the Anet team made this game all in 1 file its far easier to back it up etc.
