Strages.2950 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Is there going to be any way to pre-load the expac before the actual release date? Some of us have less than adequate internet speeds, and depending on the xpac download size it could be a considerable amount of time before we can play if there is no way to pre-load.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Only if some patches are released before Friday. I'm sure we have pre-downloaded some of it, already. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariurotl.3718 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It'd be nice to be able to do that, yeah. Although I'm personally not going to play new content until at least a couple of days and a few inevitable hotfixes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 We'll probably be able to earlier that morning. For HoT, we were able to about an hour before release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, an hour is usually not enough time when you're on a shit connection :pensive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't think they'll release it any sooner than that in order to prevent spoilers and market manipulation by those that datamine the data.

Razor.6392 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Huuuuh I thought we had most of it already. My connection is garbage. I hope we are given at least 1 day to preload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnang.1879 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Yes please! Let us pre-download but they can disable access to the PoF maps or whatever. I live in australia and the internet speed is stuck in the Stone Ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am also certain that we have already pre-downloaded portions of the expansion and will continue to do so with upcoming patches the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kills your connection, drives your ping to hell. Might as well let it download the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 What if I were to tell you that you already have? You might have noticed a number of patches loading this past month, without much explanation on the forums. That's not merely hotfixes and balance issues, that's Path of Fire files downloading.

moonstarmac.4603 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 As Trise.2865 stated, we've been getting PoF files since before the first beta. The hour before launch we'll pretty much get an activation patch allowing us to access everything when the proverbial switch is flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
