So far it downloaded 2Gb but it's still downloading for me. So people with slow connections, you have 4 days. =]

apparently, theyve confirmed the game has been GPU-optimized for this build. o/
Any source?
Thanks for the warning. I still hadn't had fired up the client and looked at it hollowly yet today!
some guy who messaged customer support about it, and they claim the game will be optimized for this weekend.

oh please let it be so.
They talk about more servers, not about client optimization. That's still speculation, at this point.
Would it surprise me, though? Not one bit.
not exactly speculation. depends if you trust people on the internet.
5.1 gig update just finished
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.
Carl Sagan-
That's a very big update just for 1 additional zone. maybe they replaced a lot of files.
84000 'files'
That's a lot of updates!
Started mine now, don't want to leave it till the last moment.
Looks like the client was almost completely remade. This lends some credibility to the optimization rumor, since most of these changes would have to be client side.
Now I'm (even more) excited.
im getting akey thursday most likly is the game diffreant enoughf rom other mmos to warrent apurchase?
I hope it's Optimized for this weekend. Want max eye candy.
Which server are all u Aussies planing on playing this weekend?
That's one hefty sized patch allright, lucky i don't have a crappy connection.
Hopefully optimizations are in, like so many others here seem to be echoing.
This is a very recent update. I ran the launcher just a few hours ago and there was nothing new. Only running it again now because I saw his thread.
I advice you to read some posts and blogs about the diferences GW2 have to other MMO. The best resume I saw about GW2 is "IT IS EVERYTHING WARHAMMER ONLINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!"
So, read a few and make your opinion.
I was just going to start a thread, but saw there was one. Around 5 gigs someone said. 1.8 gb into it and only 33% in. People with slow internet may want to get a jump before the weekend.
Better listen to Falcomith, i have a really decent connection and took some time to download it, since it only downloaded to 1MB/s Max
So for me it downloaded 5.1 GB like Sammyeli said.
The difference between the two dat files is ~2.7 GB.
Before: 13.3 GB
After: 16 GB
Maybe they added the Sylvari and Asura zones for the next beta.
No they haven't. Confirmed that Sylvari and Asura are NOT going to be in this BWE.
wow thanks for the info lol,, i would not have opened up the client until the 8, i redownloaded the client yesteday night so i thought its was done until 8. haha
~The only opinion that matters is your own.Everything else is just advice,~
I can't wait until I need to re-download all of these files for the live version of GW2!
Aside from that new area, I wonder what else they changed. I hope they put up some patch notes soon.
"For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed:
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"

Fairly sure that you won't have to redownload everything for launch. Don't quote me on that though. I would think that they would just patch their current launcher. Every chance I'm completely wrong though lol
