Guild Wars 2

So Arenanet published blog what they wanna do till end of 2013. In that blog was also precursor hunt. When we came close to end of 2013 they told us that they will not be abel to implement everything they published in blog. I understand that precursor and after also legenedary suppose to be a big thing.

And now we are getting close to end of February and there is still no information about anything on prec. hunt. I dont know how they cant tell us anything,beacouse if they wanted to release it till end of 2013 then they had to have something done. I suppose they focuse on Living World and last patch for LW season 1, but still some information would be great (and not: we are woriking on it,but we dont focuse on it…).

I’m having everything done for twilight for 3months and almost everything ready for second legendary only precurosr not, but i’m not gonna pay 500g+ beacouse some gets lucky perhaps with 2 precursors in one day.

No new features are coming until the March feature update. Just wait until then.

No guarantee it’s March. They said there’s be a break at the end of the living story season 1, and then there’s be a feature patch. I wouldn’t expect it before April at the earliest and on one knows how long that break will be.

I’m waiting for a long time, its not realy problem to wait a bit more, but it would be great to inform us about their progress,if they already wanted to implement it in 2013.

Yeah it need to hurry up and come out so I can charge insane amounts for my T6 mats.

I logged in just to say:

I got dusk last night while throwing in 100g worth of exotic 3g greatswords.
Sold it for 800g.

That’s the reason no company in the world wants to say what the maybe doing next. Because everything will be taken seriously and gets demanded if not released after the announcement.

Gee, I thought Precursor (Scavenger) Hunt had been abandoned and Precursor Crafting was what we will be anticipating.

sometimes you, as a company just have to commit to dates, and be held responsible if you miss said date. Cant always say nothing in fear of people expecting things

Why would they push ahead with it quickly?

Precursors are prohibitively expensive items that only a select few can afford to buy in game.

The rest, in particular casuals with more rl money than time will just convert gems to gold.

I honestly think we would all be surprised just how much money ANet has made from people buying precursors/legendaries.

Nage.1520:

People complain about not having an expansion and ArenaNet said the patch would be bigger, containing features you would traditionally get in an expansion. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take an extended 4-8 month break to test reactions. Taking an extended break will affect their gem sales however.

What is known however is that on March 18th, there will be a maintenance build to phase out glory. Keyword maintenance. They would have normally bundled something like that in an actual patch, so you may assume March will offer nothing.

From March 28th to May 16th, they’ll run another WvW tournament. Although that should come along with a patch, it could just be a small WvW focused one. They could easily hold off the major patch until June, using the WvW tournament as their focus.

There are way more important things to do than adding a precursor hunt. Fixing the balance as example. I’m happy with them starting the CDI threads now. In fact, I’m way more happy about the CDI threads than I would be about a precursor hunt, not to mention the fact that the precursor hunt would also turn into a grindfest.

Quickly? People complainted about it almost since release.

This.
They dropped the hunt idea quite a while ago almost directly after the post where they brought up the idea I believe. It was always listed as a possibility not a certainty. It was replaced with crafting option and that was pushed back due to unexplained issues. All of this has been publicly posted in various threads and I believe on Colin’s infrequent game updates.

There won’t be a precursor hunt, instead crafting. A scavenger hunt or similar would be a terrible idea because the time&effort to get a precursor through non-monetary means has to be equal to farming 850 gold to not destroy the markets.

Yeah,but then for example Dusk and Leaf of Kudzu are both 2-handed weapons and imo. they should be crafted for “same” price so one prec. should drop/rise price then.

Oh, you didnt hear? No scavenger hunt. Get your ascended gear instead.

No, for reals…yeah, two months past 2013 and no whispers about it. Its not like they weren’t ready to deploy it. They were not even close to the mark.

Or maybe they simply overestimated the playerbase and thought that we would understand that “no features until after LS Season 1” means no Precursor crafting until after LS Season 1?

@ cesmode – wrong. Anet has said several times that they will implement new features and modify balances only after the Scarlet story arc has reached conclusion. That means that changes and new stuff will start dropping in ~4 weeks.

Arenanet said that all giant feature patch is coming after LS update, March 18th. They said date of the patch in their article about Glory. Obviously the new story will not begin right after the patch so expect the bigger things then, including SAB

Stop following me. =)

Edit: I must have been on my 2 month break when they announced it after LS season 1. My mistake.

Still, doesn’t change the fact that they were not even close with end of 2013.

They didn’t say Giant, they said big. Which is a rather large difference.
And no, on March 18th there will be a MAINTENANCE build, nothing else.

Link me to where they said after LS season 1, and I’ll concede. Until then, you pulled that out of your kitten . I believe they said it simply wasn’t ready for end of 2013.

Here:

Due to the size and scope of the final four story releases in season one, the next round of major features will be bundled together into a large “feature only” release that will come after the first season of the Living World 2014 has finished.

What business school did you attend that said that?

Conceded. I stand corrected.

Wish they would prioritize better. People have been asking for that nearly since launch. People have been asking for Cantha, for more zones, more skills, more dungeons since launch.

I don’t recall anyone asking for living story. While there are different teams that work on different things, I feel all their resources are tied up in LS. Otherwise, they would have people making new dungeons(other than the fractals), which we have not received. Since these areas are going largely untouched, and LS is pushing forward full steam, I can only conclude that LS is detracting from other parts of the game LIKE the scavenger hunt.
