Starting to get ridiculous.
There is another option. I remember years ago, when Morrowind came out. I didn't have a PC that could play it. When it came to Xbox I got it. Then the patches came out. Then the expansions. Lots of people complained that it wasn't on the Xbox. I was so grateful that it was on Xbox I didn't care. At least I could play it. Finally I did have to rebuy the game when the expansions did come out. Who cares, I was able to play with the updated patch game with both expansions. Just had to wait.
While it does suck, some times you have to look at the alternative. They could not have released Morrowind on the Xbox. Same for ESO. Again it sucks, but the alternative is don't play on console.
Too many times we are so ungrateful for what we do have. While I am downloading the 50 gig patch at least it's on a console of MY choice and I get to play on a console.

I know right, imagine thinking a patch and minor content update might not be >50% of the extant base game size.1 -
prax07✭✭I just wish we weren't forced to download data for a dlc that some of us are Never going to buy. It just doesn't interest me, yet here I am being forced into a 50.15gb download.1 -

If you're a console ESO player, I would highly recommend sucking it up and buying an external hard drive for your system. Not sure how else you'd be able to do it and not burn all of your drive space.
really? i just finally got higher than 20% on my xbox's native drive, with today's update. 20.1% ohhh yeah baby, let it swing in the breeze...
those other terabytes of SSDs are just sitting there on the same table. is there any other advantage to plugging one in? it wouldn't speed up the download.
i'm comfortable with my download, but faster might have helped on another day. i'd like to see the updates take up as little space as possible, for both reasons. i hope they're already doing their best, and if they're not, i hope they notice that their customers are interested in this.
call this post constructive feedback since i think they said "bump" posts aren't allowed.0 -

Snipress✭✭✭ESO is literally the biggest game on my Xbox. The last time I checked it was past 90GB.

Playing from an SSD generally results in shorter load times, faster texture loading, and far less "unusually long loading" screens. For some it also essentially eliminated infinite load screens.
I also almost never crash when playing from an SSD, though that may be the One X and not the drive. It "tries" to crash but the game rights the ship before it all goes awry.0 -

You should live in parts of the UK. On Virgin 350mb fibre now but was on a 1.2 meg connection before with virgin being the only upgrade option.OneKhajiitCrimeWave wrote: »Donny_Vito wrote: »I'm going to assume Game Development is similar to how we do things in Web/Software Development...
All the functionality for the game is spread out through different class libraries, and these libraries get compiled to .DLLs. When a change is made to even one line of code, or if one of its dependencies changes, the DLL needs to be re-compiled. So one change to the Combat DLL and the whole file needs to be downloaded again. That is typically why each update is so big, because we have to re-download every DLL that gets changed.
It's unfortunate, but that's just the way it works.
Not to argue but for further insight, wouldn't that also affect the download size for PC and not just consoles?
I imagine PC has more flexibility about editing the contents of them.0 -

"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0
