Anyone any idea when we can start downloading on PC?

I have really shit internet 300kb speed 3/Mb on a good day. Which isn't getting fixed until September. I would like to play on the 16th.. but im not sure I'll be able to

Last time it was around after half of the downtime - so in 8-10 hours maybe?

most likely in sometimes in the second half of the maintenance.

I wouldn't expect it before 2pm pst, maybe closer to 8pm pst. The patch isn't scheduled to end until 2am pst, other than that its all speculation.

way too short timeline, i mean we life in a time where it really should no problem to ensure a long pre download why does SE always makes things so damn complicated

At least Early Access doesn't end on the 20th for those of us waiting for mailed physical copies.

For those with early access, will we simply download the full expansion itself tonight or tomorrow?

Everyone gets the patch at the same time regardless of whether they preordered or not. The new content will just remain locked to you if you did not preorder SB.
As for timing, no one knows when the download will start, just monitor the forums. Usually folks will post something right away as soon as the download becomes available.

Patch notes will be released....SOON™

I'm able to download something (obviously it cant be SB already though) - since the whole thing is about 2555 MB those with a slow connection might want to look into it already!

I downloaded something like 6.5GB's a few mins ago

It is seems to be 6GB. Unless there are more after that. More or less than same as Heavensward if I remember well.

6gb sounds right. ARR is a 9GB download, then 18gb for HW + 10 major patches + minor patches.

Mine actually came as two separate downloads. A 2.5G and 3.6G.
