Big Feature patch before HoT?
I’d be happy if they fixed the ranger pet bug and stacking issues they introduced last patch as well as targeting!
If they do like they have in the past then we should get an April Feature patch. My hope is that they will FINALLY fix the messed up Traits system that we’ve had to endure for the past year. It will be the 1 year anniversary of the change after all.
There could be one, simply to generate some activity (and assuming the expansion is still 4+ months away), but don’t expect to see anything new. The changes to traits and the personal story fix might happen for example. New stuff would be held back to give HoT more content though – precursor crafting, new legendaries and the new SPvP map for example.

I just want fishing, and bring back loading screen lore. Fishing rod was datamined so long ago and I don’t understand why they remove loading screen lore in the first place.

I highly doubt it.

I’m expecting a big bug fix / balance update around HoT’s release but not an actual feature patch.
Although things like the new PvP map, guild leaderboards and the new WvW borderlands could be seen as being feature patch-y since they do not actually require you to own HoT.
They will probably do a small feature pack, but don’t expect much. If they give us too much for free then people won’t buy the expansion.

I doubt it, especially since they seem to have changed their way to approach the way they deliver new features. The stability and camera changes for example were kind of a big deal, the sort of things they could have included in a feature patch, or even the dye preview. They didn’t, and released the changes as soon as they were ready. I prefer this approach: if it works, just release it!
I would very much doubt seeing a huge feature patch before HoT.
From a business standpoint it would make the most sense to take all the cool features that you would be expecting in a “Feature Pack” and bundle them all together into the HoT release.
ANet needs this to be as big a hit as possible so pre-releasing a feature pack sometime in the next 5 months before the HoT release would be counterproductive to that anticipated goal.
Feature Pack alone: Cool stuff taken for granted cause it is free to current players
HoT Release w/Feature Pack included: More cool stuff to be presented to both new and current players alike
They specifically stated that regular updates will continue while they make the expansion. There is supposed to be a feature patch in April, so it should be still coming assuming Anet didn’t lie to us.

That philosophy is flawed because there are plenty of features that you can’t simply lock to buying the expansion (like the condition damage fix) and implementing a pre-expansion patch actually increases sales because it makes players return because you don’t have to pay for the game after you purchased it once.
