I would much rather this download actually be the 500mb one that the Xbone players received. And as far as I'm aware, there is no major difference in this patch between the PS4 and Xbone.
Of course we all want smaller download sizes. There was obviously something occurring with the PS4 client that required a revision. Most of those code tweaks aren't going to be outlined in the patch notes. Only the programmers know for sure.

If I was given actual reason to believe that this large download was for extensive code revision, then I would be all for it. But it's obvious, especially from the given apologies, that this patch is what they are calling "cumulative" and "incremental" (aka names used for *** saving), and therefore containing the 15gigs-worth of a patch that we were all required to download upon initial installation of the game.
I honestly don't think this large download size is even the programmers' fault. This is the fault of someone in charge of distributing the patches who couldn't figure out how to package an individual patch, and instead just lazily attached it to the end of the patch they had created for the initial launch, and forced everyone to download it all over again with the new (small) patch tacked onto the end.
ZOS - please please please prove me wrong, but I don't think I am.

I've got plenty of experience with gaming companies now and in two weeks zeni have left an almighty impression on me . Terrible customer service and interaction with the community. Disdain shown towards console players with features missing from console that are mmo standards and available on PC and now 15 gb for a nothing patch . Never seen this size of update on any game. Full dlcs in dcuo are like 4 gb Max. Too much downtime already for it to be sub worthy imo. Must do better zeni . Much better. For the record I'm actually out tonight but this tells me all I need to know. Anyone not on unlimited net is getting bent over big time. Feel for those guys

I got a laugh out of it, only because it reminded me of the scene from Planes Trains and Automobiles:
Car Rental Agent: How may I help you?
Neal: You can start by wiping that *** dumb-ass smile off your rosey, ***, cheeks! And you can give me a *** automobile: a *** Datsun, a *** Toyota, a *** Mustang, a *** Buick! Four *** wheels and a seat!
Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of *** nowhere with *** keys to a *** car that isn't *** there. And I really didn't care to *** walk, down a *** highway, and across a *** runway to get back here to have you smile in my *** face. I want a *** car RIGHT *** NOW!
Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement?
Neal: I threw it away.
Car Rental Agent: Oh boy.
Neal: Oh boy, what?
Car Rental Agent: You're ***!
Patches are good because they fix or add things to improve the game. I would hate for them to leave the game with no improvements. The ones complaining just want to play right now. There are other games with bugs like the shooter game that rakes in millions without a fix for netcode error for over a year. That's torture
Go to settings>system>auto dl's and ul's>featured content (tick the box) this will allow your PS4 to DL content in rest mode

Just REMEMBER THIS, people have jobs, not all jobs rain money on you, so naturally people that cant afford to keep upgrading their computers to the highest standards to run all the brand new games every year, get consoles, so get out of your little pedestal and connect yourself with reality. BTW we are not angry because of the 15 gb, but because we only need 500 mb out of those 15gb, all but those 500 mb are a waste of bandwidth, and yes i know, mmo patches are big sometimes! I have played mmos on pc before when i could afford it, so just stop with the unreasonable snobbish attitude, you are only bringing down pc players to a whole new level of dirt and snobs that think themselves better just because their bigshot jobs make them affordable or because mommy and daddy gave you a gaming pc for christmas, jeez, get overyourselves. There, reply all you want, iam done wih this...

So this could be one of there days off which is ruined by such a long patch.
For me personally i dont really mind. i can do other things, but for some this might be there only time to play and i dont feel like that is right. Hopefully future patches arent this rough, but i have my doubts!
Mate its 2015, 99% of people in this thread could normally swallow 15gb in an hour or 2, so its clear you just missed the slow down of sonys servers, and as more people begin to finish the faster it will be for other such as yours which you just started.HobnailedBoots wrote: »I just dropped in to say I got home from work, fired it up and immediately started downloading at max speed and halfway through on pace to finish in 80 mins for the whole thing.
