Second, there is no way any company would be stupid enough to allow a download of a release before the release is actually live, and no company, every, anywhere, does this.

Not arguing if its "content" or "patch" or big or small, because in both cases we're getting them when the servers are back. The point is to make it convenient for people to download, especially people who do not have the luxury of a good internet connection, I for one, wont be able to finish this download until tomorrow.
Without being an mmo expert at all as you seem to be , I can tell you that SWTOR does this very well, with patch and/or content updates (sometimes immediately sometimes a little into maintenance time) been playing that game 3 years now and both SWTOR and neverwinter have the additional option of downloading large parts of the patch in the background while u play. And I'm pretty sure many others do as well. So no idea where you heard that nobody ever did this.
It's also worth mentioning that the patch/content was available for download on the US megaserver earlier, and If im not mistaken it is the same exact file as the EU one, not 100% on this but thats what people have been telling me. If that's true then they can easily allow you to download that patch independently and apply it when the servers are back up. (For us on the EU server at least)JessieColtub17_ESO wrote: »First, this isn't a "patch". This is a content release.
