Achilleslastand.1658 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Just purchased the standard versions of both expansions and upon restarting the game noticed nothing downloaded, was the content already downloaded and just not unlocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zushada.6108 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Yup! That is essentially it. You already downloaded the entire game even though you had not previously bought the licences. All buying the licences does is unlock the HoT/PoF content etc of the game that were previously locked. Welcome to GW2 - Unlocked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 GW2 has always worked like that - everyone has exactly the same version of the game with everything installed, even stuff you don't own. I guess it makes it easier to prevent bugs and things if there's only 1 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQuickFox.3826 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The client automatically downloads everything and keeps itself updated with all the content that gets released. This includes all expansions and living world maps no matter if you have them unlocked or not. This makes client maintenance simpler as there is only one client to maintain, and most players will get most of the content anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
