The previous update downloaded all the forge canvases and probably a lot of background stuff prepping for this one. Because the last one seemed abnormally large.

So I half expected this one to be smaller.

Okay that makes more sense

The update to Waypoint is pretty cool. I like how the seasons are seperated and you can go back to easily see your rank and games played for past seasons (in this case pre-season)

Well, I'll be away for 4-5 hours. Somebody please find out if all of the new REQ's went live or if they are going to roll them out slowly, like last time.

These are the times I regret doing my part for the environment and turning off the instant-on and auto-update settings on my Xbox.

The new Rarity text on UI for customisation items is cool, but it only shows when browsing a newly opened REQ pack/in collection.

The only place I actually wanted that was in the actual Customisation menu, which still just lists the armour and such in a jumbled, no label mess :/

So while I suffer through this download that should not be taking this long I've been thinking, cartographers don't actually build things they create maps for navigation and such, so why is the cartographer gifting building tools? shouldn't it be builders gift or master builders gift?

Press Y and it should filter out and sort by rarity.
