This is the first time I have ever seen that console players can download, and from others I know who have downloaded the patch, can also install as well before maintenance is finished.
Has ZOS changed their policy or listened to the cries of us console players 10 hour + of off time for a new update!

Aerius_Sygale✭✭✭✭That's cool and all, but now that I've actually downloaded and installed the update, I'd like to, you know, check it out...

Stinkyremy✭✭✭✭✭Honestly guys, I have tried for the last 3 patches to dl the update and have had to wait until maintenance has finished before downloading.
From your guys comments, it must be just a me thing, though I have an irl friend on eso and it has been the same for him.

✭✭✭✭Anyone have any idea why the patch is so big? It's two dungeons and outfit system and a few other additions and fixes? I have many full games that are less GB with all of their content than this single update. Just curious as to why it seems so out of proportion compared to other stuff.Edited by Apache_Kid on February 27, 2018 4:22PM0 -

Likely because the engine they use has been set up to load entire libraries of stuff instead of individual data. For example, let's say their music guy adds one song to a zone. The game engine might be set up that they can't just add that song in, they have to resubmit a redone playlist or something with all the songs to get it to work. Tweak an animation, maybe they have to reupload all animations in that combat family etc. Just throwing out hypotheticals, no personal knowledge or anything.1 -

Hmm ok. Thanks for the information. I only have a layman's knowledge on how all this works so was just looking for some possible explanations.0 -
