    My guess is that you are not understanding what you are seeing on the installer. Only a small portion of that bar is actually downloading anything. Only about 20% of it. The rest of it is unpacking, and applying the patch to all the various files.

    This last patch was only about 4GB, not 40.

    Basically he's right with regards to the update process. The installer downloads required patch, then merges the files.

    Patch 1.2.3 is separated into two parts of download though. Roughly 4GB each, a total of 8GB. Then after it downloads both, the unpacking and file merging begins. That's the part where you see the total file size being worked on by that launcher people claim ***.

    It's not bad, it just needs improvements.
    People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.

    Last patch was closer to 9GB than 4, though it certainly wasn't 40. Hopefully this one will only be around 30MB. Downloading 9GB is not something we should be expected to do on a regular basis.

    Its got to the point where I panic with every update! "OK, what have they broke this time" I would MUCH rather see the end to all bugs rather then adjustments and added content. Dont get me wrong, I love new content and positive adjustments but lets get the game fixed 1st please and stop introducing new bugs!!! One would think that they should know their game enough to not introduce new bugs but sometimes I wonder..........

    I wish that were the case.

    When you run repair and it does this downloading of client size downloads ALL over again, then you will see... something is rotten.

    I am remembering back to launch when at the end of that first month... I was so burned out on the game not working... I d/c'd my participation for a while. Now I remember why:)
