Ps4 version help

[widget624]

The heavensward content is completely separate and locked on a timer and is downloaded through the psn not the game itself.

That's highly unlikely given that everyone has to download HW regardless as to whether they have purchased it so has to be downloaded through the game like a patch would. The timer is just telling you when it becomes playable. It will also be a bigger download then the 12gb or what ever it is that the PSN says it is for the entire bundle.

It it also doesn't say they are linked and I wouldn't be able to play the game that is released right now until the expansion is released later

Probably because they felt that that by putting exactly when the bundle would be playable people wouldn't assume that only counted for half the bundle.

You wouldn't be forced to download HW regardless because they are separate downloads the same way they are separate discs that you can buy at the store. not everyone buys expansions and can still play the game without it. That's why the game wouldn't force me to download an expansion that isn't out yet because it's not required.

Also I unchecked to download HW and disabled auto update on that add on so I know I don't have HW downloaded or installed. I'm wondering if anyone else has this digital bundle purchased and is having the same issue or if it works for them, coz it doesn't seem to me like it's working as intended

I would assume if I can launch the game I can play it
