Guild Wars 2

I apologize if there is already a topic for this, but so far the only thing I’ve been able to find is “after the final episode of living story”

Considering the size and scope of what they have already said they would do I’m concerned that it might not be on the 18th as a lot of people are speculating.

I’m super pumped for account bound wexp, balance updates and rune/sigil reworks, and perhaps some much needed spvp updates!

I think the players are expecting much more then Anet planned to deliver, so Anet is now scrambling to try and put something together, thus we haven’t heard anything.

The other possibility is that they are going to put this patch up against the launch of ESO, so we will not get it for another month.

It’s not going to be the 18th. You can blame the community for making up false dates and then listening to it.

However, wexp will likely come before the start of seasons.

I agree with Vol after remembering patterns of past updates, but I would still love to know when it’s planned!

I can’t blame them for not carving it into stone, but I feel like the majority of the player base cares so much more about these kids of updates than they do about the living story.

Hopefully by the 28th I can choose from 8 different toons to wvw on instead of just 1…

All we know is it will be very soon, that it is NOT months away.

Allie Murdock.8152:

The build is not in June. Just wanted to squash that before it became a thing! :P

Tyler Chapman.1832:

Disregard any rumors about the feature build being months away.

Short answer is no, we don’t know. We got a stream today about “their” excitement, and the announcement for more streams… :/

Tell me what is in the patch, and then maybe I’ll get excited as well.

Last I remembered it was the feature patch after Season 1 LS(4 patches). For ArenaNets sake I hope the patch is this Tuesday. The 3 month lag time in class balance is absolutely killing the game. It’s only made worse by the fact that 90% of the changes are things that could literally be done in a week by just changing values in a database. I can’t really comprehend why their class balance team is glacially slow and thickheaded about many of the changes that need to be made. Perhaps they are working on class changes in an expansion but that doesn’t change that if their class balance was a final exam they would have gotten an “F”.

Tuesday´s patch will be a maintenance only patch.

Options are:

• Before WvW season 2 (which starts on the 28th).
• After WvW season 2.
• Abandon the idea of "No balance updates during WvW seasons.

We know it won’t be after WvW season 2 (that would put it at months) so it’s either before the season starts or abandon the idea of no balance patches during WvW seasons.

Imo, I don’t see why seasons should hold up a balance patch.

I don’t either, but that was the precedent they established with season 1. Because of that and the ESO launch, I’m leaning towards 3/25.

Precursor quest is really near.
It won’t be balance patch, but feature one. So they can bring it even before start of WvW.

Shadey thief comes out of stealth mode…psst…its April 8th…keep it under your hat…returns to stealth mode.

SAB will be back on the 1st, and the feature patch will be the 15th. Those are my predictions based on the ready up schedule =P

Just gonna bump this in hopes of someone saying something that I don’t already know…

Hopefully SAB is done after the train wreck that was World-2….

If it is anything like world 2 then it might be a death blow to the game… they need something to compete with ESO’s launch, and I don’t think 8-bit graphics, P2W items, and horrible gameplay will cut it…
