✭✭✭✭✭My guess is that it will be in the neighborhood of 35 GB. It seems to be a neighborhood they like for updates.

Skall66✭✭✭I suppose nothing will be done for those who won't be able to get daily reward and event tickets due to the 9 hours maintenance and patch download, am I right?Mudcrab magnet

✭✭✭Dont understand how pc gets 3.5gb and console has not had a dlc patch under 20+ gigs since console launch not to mention sony has weird hard fluxing download times be downloading like 50mbs then randomly drops to 0.01kbs back and forth says done in 20 mins 4 hours later still 20 mins1 -

Packaging.
Sony and MS like to replace entire files as its simple for them.
So if a data file is 10GB and there are 1GB of changes you get the whole 10GB again.
At least with Sony ( dont have an Xbox ) the update system allows for patching files rather than just replacing but patching a 10GB file on a console isn't exactly fast either. I never know which method a game will use to update either. Almost feels random.

its the same of xbox, its packaged. its down to how the app is packaged/put together as to whether you have to replace bits of it or large bits of it
given there are new dungeons, racial changes and a wealth of other stuff, the likelyhood is it wont be small -but ill be pleasently surprised if it is

Fluke.Slywalker✭✭✭I guess it's gonna be the usual 30gb+.
The PC update can replace only the necessary pieces of data containing change whereas on console the entire package data needs to be removed and replaced by the updated content, hence a much larger file.
Got my smartglass on the case for when it hits lol.0 -

✭Wont let me start the download yet, but I assume it will not be until at least 1000 to 1200 EST before they are done. Between those times are normally when I can start downloading. I have seen it go as late as 1400 but that is rare.Edited by Defilted on March 12, 2019 12:31PMXBOX NA

shack80✭✭✭Like luke already said.
Its also at my understanding that they need to update bigger parts or so. Its not that they just add something new they also need to rewrite old. That's how it has been explained to me and its the reason why its always so big update. That might also be the reason why some old stuff broke even if they do not touch them.1 -

✭✭✭✭More pressing question: why can't we download the patch while the servers are undergoing maintenance?
They could be pushing the patch and doing server side stuff. That way we can get on asap. Now we have to wait however many hours for maintenance to end, then wait the whole download time, then the time to apply -- then also have the rumoured long first time log in for U21... pfff
Luckily I switched to PC recently. The whole thing took less than hour. I can at least still get my ESO in the meantime.Edited by mairwen85 on March 12, 2019 1:09PM0 -

yes, ZoS is free to use any installer they like on PC but this is restricted on console.Fluke.Slywalker wrote: »I guess it's gonna be the usual 30gb+.

They might also use data or file structures like huge libraries who require large downloads for tiny changes.
Was an similar discussion about division 2 who require double HD space on PS4 as it has to download install files, install then delete install files.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0
