it will take me and probably a lot of people who play this game in rural areas(not highly populated areas) a day so i need to know the answer don't think everyone has same speed with you. it is a big time investment considering while downloading you can't use internet as freely as you used to because of download
@ZOS_GinaBruno should i re-download the steam version? because i don't want old version and new version to take space in the hard drive. if i download from steam again this should solve the problem of not having 2 copies of the same files
I've checked the loading times vs before the update and unfortunately I can report absolutely zero improvement on my end.
It still takes ridiculous ~45 seconds from login screen to character selection (excluding 5-20seconds of "requesting login info") and then ~27 seconds from character selection to actually seeing the game (again, excluding ridiculously long "requesting character load"). That's with the same addons being active (I know the second loading time is around ten seconds without any addons at all, but the key thing here is there is no improvement)
I am disappointed I guess. At least the game doesn't run worse.
I made a comment earlier (a joke, I admit) about having a slow and spotty dial-up and only having 2 weeks for the download to get the pet... needless to say, my game was up and running before I was.
But at this time we are monitoring a friend, here in the US, who started her download the same time most of us did, last report, after 2 days, she has hit 17% (it seems her ISP throttles downloads).
Makes my joke a bit less funny... can I please reserve the pet for my friend? at this point 2 weeks may not be enough...
