Guild Wars 2

I remember them saying that they would be “evaluating supporting DX 11 post-launch”. It’s been over half a year since the game launched.

So any news on the subject?

Not that I know and I also wouldn’t expect DX11 before the first expansion pack.

Um, there won’t be expansion packs. Living story is the expansions, remember? I’m not trolling either. They said they have no plans for an actual “expansion” but rather a full year planned of living story.

Tbf, they never actually said there wouldn’t be an expansion. Just at the time of that question they weren’t working on one.

Seems time has changed that now.

On they contrary they explicitly mentioned expansion packs before released when they talked about the level cap and whether it will be increased or not (IIRC).

How is that in contrary to what I said?

On Topic: As far as I’m aware there has been no word, but at this point in time I’d say this is a bottom of the list priority.

Sry, it’s a figure of speech where I come from, might have translated it wrong, I wasn’t actually disagreeing.

Ah, no worries.

Just fyi, in English, “on the contrary” typically means something that is in opposition to what has been said. Rather than used to mark agreement.

IIRC, they said there won’t be any campaigns released, which was the main strategy used in GW1 (3 campaigns + 1 expansion). Their new content will be released in expansions instead.

This will be my last message regarding expansions as the thread is getting a bit sidetracked, but note the word “Primary” in that post.

At this point in time, they are just “preparing” an expansion, which could be something as simple as drawing up concepts. This could easily be a secondary focus whilst they push the living story.

Now back to topic. DX11 and all that jazz.

It’s the same where I come from, but you can also use it to agree with someone if you are talking about a the statement of a third person, especially if the person you are in agreement with brought up and argument you want to continue. In our case here I basically tried to say that ArenaNet did not only just not say that their won’t be any expansions (which is what you said) but that they explicitly mentioned them when they talked about the level cap.

So, hopefully we now have successfully eliminated all clarities (another figure of speech that probably doesn’t work that well).

Haha, nope. :P
