According to NCSoft, Arena Net is not making/have no plans on making an expansion any time soon.

However, they have mentioned numerous of times that they have “big” background projects other non Living Story teams are working on, and so far we haven’t seen anything.

No precursor hunt, no new pvp game modes, no Qol updates, no new maps, no new dungeons (outside Living Story).

What exactly are these projects? Your thoughts?

Oh?

I might remember incorrectly (I haven’t played for about 2 hours) but I am rather sure that we got a new map as late as last Tuesday that is still available in-game and will stay that way.

New PvP modes are in the works that have already been confirmed.
Precursor crafting is in the works, this has also been confirmed.
We have gotten rather many QoL updates the last few months, the last of them as late as last Tuesday.

I am still thinking new Dragon and new maps coming soon. Possibly sooner than we think.

All maps and everything has been implemented through the Living Story so far, what I’m interested in is what are other teams working on, their projects, Arena Net has said that only small part of the company is working on LS.

And based on what they have said they will deliver more or less everything via the Living Story.

It is very unlikely that the Living World teams made Edge of the Mists after all.

Just because a small part of ArenaNet is working on the Living World team doesn’t mean that the other projects have nothing at all to do with the Living World.

The main question is: Can we have any preview of what will be inside this big project before others games will be available?

I already know the answer, is no. And when it will be ready, the customers conclusions will be: “too little, too late”.

We’ll get an occasional new skill, revamped dungeon path, or new zone. Occasional, being the operative word. The “big project”, though, that’s just lip service given to keep stringing us along so we’ll be around to buy cash shop items.

They’ve said a lot of stuff. What they’ve delivered is something else entirely. Talk is cheap, my friend. Talk is cheap.

The maps are not part of the LS teams. They are part of the larger teams projects. The larger teams work are brought into the game via the LS along with the LS teams work. They are released at the same time. Many of the bug fixes, balancing, maps, skills, etc. are part of the larger teams work.

The next update will include another giant project which allows LA to be able to become a battleground which failed during karka event.

Don’t expect anything.
If they really are working on something, its probably the new season of living hell.
I dont think we will get any content that wont dissappear after 4 weeks, and every 6 months a new map. And that map will be dead when that living story ends (look at southsun, bazaar)
