Guild Wars 2

Starving.. of.. content..

I know the feeling… the lack of content with all this dumb hype on expansion is starving

It’ll be the new trait role out

I don’t think the Devs are anywhere near ready to release the New Traits. So, if there is an update this coming Tuesday, it won’t be new traits.

Yeah, the trait changes aren’t going to be anytime soon. Sadly, we’ll probably just get a gem store update.

Fruitless to ask here. ANet won’t say and forumites don’t know.

yea they should just give us SAB

I’m expecting a new set of black lion weapon skins.

In the Read Up episode friday they specifically stated not all the traits were finished and the Engineer traits weren’t even coded into the game yet. They also stated there would be a follow up episode for how traits changed in development before they release it.

So don’t expect the new traits for a couple months.

Even if there is a patch, it is highly unlikely that it would require much in the way of content.

Think there will be any content added at all between now and the surmised August release time?

Very unlikely that we will see any new content added at least.
Possible old content being brought back, but completely new stuff is unlikely.

That’d be fine!

Looks like the portals for the beta will be the new patch.

I got the feeling that there’s still a lot of work to do (balance, art-work etc.) based on what we’ve seen so far, so yeah. Well seems like the framework is in place, so it pretty much comes down to how quickly they can balance it and make new icons and stuff. Would honestly prefer it if they give us an early release even if it’s not properly balanced. Can always balance with player feedback.

We always forget the BL team, hey? Even though they’re seemingly the most productive team they have.

I’d say a month myself, certainly no more than two. But I’m reasonlessly hopeful.

My guess is the portals for the next Beta and gem store items will be the next patch.

This is what really kills it for me. Next expansion, it will be the same ordeal, some living story stuff and then 6 months of nothing. It would be bearable if only we had some sort of Box with Adventure, that would be Super.

I’m hoping however that the base expansion keeps us busy for a month or two, while the Living World team start working on / polishing S3 content to keep us entertained while at the same time they start working on a new expansion. Ideally that way we’ll have some sort of content fairly regularly without there big massive breaks… again I’m probably setting myself up for disappointment.
ut in theory, if S3 can give us relatively regular content updates for say a year or so (probably a bit short for make a entirely new expansion but ANet kept saying they’re laying the foundation on which they can build future content so maybe…) it might give enough time to work on the next expansion.
