Guild Wars 2

I understand the Living Story will not resume until HoT and I’m wondering if anything at all of significance is going to happen in game before then. The Zephyr Sanctum and Crown Pavilion were summer events, but has there been any indication they or something similar will return in that time frame?

I’m sitting on three Black Lion claim tickets and really don’t want to invest in more shadow weapons, but there’s always a chance that HoT will bring radical changes to the Black Lion weapon skin system, although I have no information to that effect.

I’m not at all confident HoT will release any time soon, despite all the speculation about a June release date. Oddly enough, a commonly speculated date is on my birthday.

They can’t release any info about upcoming patches because that would provide info on HoT’s release which hasn’t been announced yet.

We will be in the dark until a release date is set.

Depending on how far out it is, that’s not necessarily true.

The main problem is that they have stated more than once that they’re not working on anything but HoT. So until HoT is released there is nothing else. Even releasing something that was already out wouldn’t work because the story would have to be adjusted so it makes sense in context.

That is unless the released old content has nothing to do with the story. The only likely candidate is SAB, since it has no impact on the main story set up, but there could be other things. They’d be crazy not to put SOMETHING out there until Heart of Thorns, lest players get bored an find an alternative. I don’t care if it’s SAB or not, I’d just like something to be put out there for us to do that isn’t the norm until HoT hits.

Speaking of alternatives, while it is not an MMO, I can see the Witcher on his horse just over the horizon, and that studio has already announced an expansion.
