Installing (downloading) complete game takes absurd amount of time

Just like the title mentions...
I needed to make a new install since i upgraded my desktop and windows needed to be installed new,
i am more then 13 hours passed the time i started to install the game,
maybe look a good programmer that can do some repacking...

Oh i forgot,there are no "good" or even decent programmers at ZOS......

No but for real,this takes really an absurd amount of time to install this game i hardly even play anymore.
Most likely i need to reinstall windows in 2 months,
if no repacking is done then i am not installing it again,
it takes even longer then a full workday with overtime......

    Sounds like you should ask your Mom and Dad for faster Internet.

    Where is the lol button again? Check what makes up the download size.

    That's a fully voiced game and top rate graphics. You want to go back to computerized voices and brick graphics?

    This game is very heavy on the download. It might be worth ZOS looking at play x amount while downloading style of install like other MMO games have moved towards. This wouldn't help people with slow download speeds however.

    Not everyone gets a choice of their speed. I pay the same as people who get 60mb, I get 12mb. This is entirely because I live in a small UK town, not because of my choice in internet.

    I had to reinstall a few days ago as well, started downloading at 16:45 and finished at around 21:00. I was surprised how "fast" it was, my internet is also super-not-fast. Expected like 10+ hrs.

    I agree. my speed is 108mb/s. it took me about 9 hours to completely install ESO. I downloaded wow (about 65 gigs) in 3 hours...

    That's why we make copies of the game/backups. It takes less time to copy the game folder to a USB and back again that DL everything. Doing it this way shortens the time of installing the game significantly.

    It's not necessarily the download but how often the game checks the installation and downloads different game files over and over again. Took me a night to download and install it (5mb/sec download).
