Hello,

I live in Australia and recently moved out of town temporarily for the period of approximately 12 months. Hard wired internet can’t be supplied and so my spouse and I are using cellular data to play using our mobile phones as wireless hotspots.

We’re limited to 8GB/month each and if you go over the limit the price dramatically goes up to a point beyond highway robbery, $50/GB.

I would simply like the ability to know how much data the new patches are, either on the launcher where it states files remaining, but not their size (for some unknown reason). Or alternatively on the GW2 website. So I can make the decision on whether I will download the patch at home (< ~100MBs) or go to a public place like a library or Mcdonalds cafe (> ~100MBs).

Dat patch was a bit over 60MB. Launcher patch only a couple of meg at most.

If I were you, days when a major patch, one that’s announced a head of time, head for free wifi. I don’t think I remember seeing a follow on/fix patch over 100MB.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

RIP City of Heroes

Also you only have to download the patch once. Once you have a complete update done and tested (you can log in) on one computer, just copy the “Guild Wars 2” directory from that computer to the other. That will save you half the megabytes.

That will save you half the megabytes.

And half the headache.
