Guild Wars 2

I have a sad: I checked the main page news 45 minutes ago and it said Lord Faren’s Rapier is in the gem store now. I didn’t even know a new rapier was coming! So I hopped in game … and it’s not. Still not.

I know that new gem items sometimes hit later on a patch day than the patch (and no patch has hit at all). And the news items like to say what all is coming and they don’t wait just because the gem store isn’t updated.

But this time there is nothing in the news blurb except the rapier and the chickenado finisher. So why post it before the gem store has the things available?

Exactly—why oh why…

Apparently they do have some sort of new build planned, and it will be “in the next few hours” as of less than 30 minutes ago. Whyyyyyy … I have to vanish any second for my regular Tuesday non-computer activities and usually I don’t get back online until Wednesday!

I can’t complain too much, though, the last several patches have dropped a few hours before I had to leave and I was able to enjoy the new stuff without spoilers.
