Metal Herc · Jul 18, 2007, 12:37 AM // 00:37

Oh geez now its taking me a long time to load a town. upwards of 5 minutes for 12% Then for each other place I vistit...

Zinger314 · Jul 18, 2007, 12:37 AM // 00:37

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.

Get around it & keep it from the party box with : W[T]S or W T S (spaces in between) and you'll advertise your whole message...

You don't install any data for EotN when you put in the CD. The CD only contains the Gw.dat that lets you execute the game (if it's anything like the CD for the campaigns). All data for EotN is then downloaded. I don't know why I keep having to tell people this

I highly doubt that they'll ban someone for trying to sell something in the TRADE channel.

the zoomed in map looks more zoomed in...

snikerz · Jul 18, 2007, 12:56 AM // 00:56

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???

Bryant Again · Jul 18, 2007, 12:57 AM // 00:57

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?

Relambrien · Jul 18, 2007, 01:00 AM // 01:00

...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.

You sure about that? Cause if it's just the executable for GW, then shouldn't it stay roughly the same size, since the engine is pretty much the same with only a few additions (such as heroes, insigs etc). 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?

Racthoh · Jul 18, 2007, 01:01 AM // 01:01

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.

Tahlia Tane · Jul 18, 2007, 01:06 AM // 01:06

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!!!

Evilsod · Jul 18, 2007, 01:07 AM // 01:07

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.

That's because the newer campaigns had some of the data that had been added to the Gw.dat already on them to help reduce the amount of downloading required. The Nightfall one for example, probably had the stuff needed for heroes added to it (compared to the others).

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 · Jul 18, 2007, 01:09 AM // 01:09

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 · Jul 18, 2007, 01:11 AM // 01:11

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!
