The huge file size is likely background downloading for the GW:EN Pre-release, although it's a bit early for that...
Anyways, any comments from me about the update would interpreted as negative somehow, ergo I will not comment.

The text limit is really too bad, I hope they fix that soon.

since i assume we are all downloading new content for GWEN is it possible for someone to use that TexMod program to look inside the Gw.dat and see whats new, ie new skill icons etc???

Man, this long downloading time reminds me of playing Morrowind on the X-Box...Most killer load times ever! And when you died right after you loaded? Oh shit it was over, young son. Enjoy your extra 2 minutes of screen tips.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to the new DoA changes. Has anyone tried it out yet?

...I am currently downloading at 5 KB/s, on a 15mbps line. Back before Nightfall, I would get over 600 KB/s on downloads, but now look at what's happened.
Thanks a lot, Anet.

Game is currently unplayable for me, I go anywhere and the game constantly freezes for several seconds, everything is jumping around on screen... I hope this won't last long because I don't feel like -image for hours on 10 KBS.

Game is done downloading and very playable for me.
Anyway... why are some people seemingly avoiding the party search? People are now selling things starting their lines with "W T S" instead of "WTS". Jesus. What the hell is wrong with people? The party search gives me a nice overview of what people are selling and buying. And I'm talking about Temple of Ages, regarding the ecto and shard trading. JEEBUS!!!

Wow... and believe it or not ABs are actually reasonable ok, the average 300-400 ping for an int district.
I'm really not a fan of what they did to templates in chat. The bright green writing looks really out of place.
Edit: Tahlia, they always did that. Before WTS would get sent directly to the trade channel... so they spammed W TS instead just so it'd stay in local.

All the new campaigns and areas are just extra data, run by the same engine. But the Gw.dat for NF is larger than that for factions which was larger than that for prophs. Or at least I think it was, haven't really looked at it after installing them. I'll check when I get home, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. Or maybe I confused it with some other file?

Seriously, I have never used my Factions or Nightfall CD, but I play all three Campaigns. Besides, most relevant game data is downloaded weeks in advance (like today's update), so there's no point in using the CD if you already play Guild Wars.
Coridan
its sad the Anet has responded on other boards...but hasn't had the time to come here to an Elite Board and post anything....
Gwmaster
well, i just finished loading all the 22k files, but now when i click on my client it will freeze at 100%. and yes i did remove the -image thing. -.- ...sigh!

HawkofStorms
Curse_You is quite correct about how the games are run.
Anyway, I agree with Zinger. Probablly some stealth GW:EN preview event stuff installing.

Well apparently they're working on the graphic errors and the other bugs.

I must be where everyone else isn't, I got DL speeds of +250kb/s. 570MB total in this monster, 24k files. I'm not having any major lag issues, either.

505MB, 88%, 1.5k files left
This is crazy.

Though this would of course have problems for those who don't buy the disks but from the online store and such. Still, they have to download it anyway, so why not leave it closer to GWEN's actual release before streaming down 1 gig of stuff for the rest of us who could be actually playing now? Or when we get home anyway?

This is bloody ridiculous! I'm sitting here on a damn fast unshaped 8Mb MaxDSL connection and this update is coming down at 40KB/s! It's taken 10 mins just to get to 7% and I still have over 19,000 files remaining.
If they're going to put out a big update, then at least I'd expect them to allow us with quick connections to download quicker than this! It's pathetic!

Sorry for the huge download. I'm not quite sure why it was so large, but I figure maybe we're rollling out super-secret content for next Wintersday or something. (No, I'm only kidding! )
Anyway, there are some issues I need to share with you, for instance, graphical bugs like:
In fact, I understand the Live Build is in the oven right now.

Me and you BOTH, I also have a special setup for monking and it's totally ruined now that I can't adjust my party bar. I mean, honestly it is part of the Interface is it not? Shouldn't it be under the interface tab so that if you WANT you CAN adjust it to how you want it? I have my skill bar up and down, and before the update I'd have my party bar up and down right next to it...now it's all...small, and confusing as crap. I can't drag it down and it's super annoying. For the love of god, change it back or at least put it under interface options to be able to adjust the darn thing! PLEEEEEASE

It would be highly impractical to have all the data for the game already on the disk. The disks are full with the content they put on them as it is. It's cheaper to only include the bare minimum and have people download the rest latter (since they'll be downloading data anyways). That way they can save on costs for each disk they have to produce.
