Chill a bit please.
The options are 2: preload some content for gw:en now with some slowdowns or make all the ppl download all gw:en content the day gw:en is releseaded -the servers would explode-

turn off your pc for an evening if u cannot stand this.

this is truly a ridiculous rant

edit: the total -image download is around 300mb to me

Taking a while to download, but that's no problem. I did have some issues with the character select screen. Some of my toons looked "melted" into the ground. Very strange.

wow, forcing people to use party search, that is a really great idea, I thought when it came out it would be really useful and now it may finally be used. hooray.

sounds like a good update to me...

The new party search update is outstanding. People will finally use it... and be forced to do so.

Relax guys, its slow IF you got in because its a freaken giant update. Probably some preloading of GWEN along with a major update. Makes sense. Do you people remember when SF, Factions, and Nightfall were getting released?

I can't open my GW client either. I got to 100% of the download then I got a "Not Responding" message from the Client. Maybe I'm just not waiting long enough for the large download.

Same.
Anet, fix this.
I was playing perfectly, and now my gw is not responding after I downloaded the new build. And they said this was a service industry, LOL!

woah...I knew it had to be something other than the update they listed...

I did my normal thing when I see "A new update is available"...I close the client and hit my -image shortcut.

at least 22,000 files to update....have to do it on two computers

Started them at the same time (was using both clients at the time the update hit)

Right now I'm sitting at
Downloaded: 256MB File remaining: 13969
Downloaded: 65.6MB Files remaining: 21216

Time for dinner.

Got a 22000 file -image update going.

Its running @ 186kb/sec... peaking out at 216kb. Quite fast for the amount of downloading that will be streaming at this moment.

well ive had that happen after I shut down and restart GW for a while now. I just keep double clicking GW and ignoring the 'must close' message when the loading screen appears behind it. Im almost certain I have this because the part of XP that sends these helpful messages conflicts with half the programs I run.

Pressing -Image got me over 22k files.

And I'm only 1% there so far with 10 megs done, this is going to take awhile.

Although its for the better, having all of this a few days before GW:EN would come out...would be much...much worse.

My Tyrian exploration track hasn't budged since the update, so I'm guessing it counts as "GWEN land" as far as that goes.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Sorry. Bad one.

What's changed in the way of graphics. Something's different but I can't put my finger on it.

there's now a use best texture filtering box in options, which could mean the default is now less good than you were getting, or it could be the weird resized limb bug.

111.9 MB so far.. down speed fluctuates too much to get an ETA, anyone finished that give us an estimated total time? Unfortunately, I/m only averaging 20k, with spikes up 125.

Also, why is there no release on the GW page regarding this update?
At least tell "officially" what we're waiting on.

If I've missed it I apologize.
