Guild Wars 2

Each month the monthly event page first gets updated with a teaser, revealing the name, i.e Lost Shores or Wintersday, along with a paragraph of what to expect. About a week thereafter the page is fleshed out with more details and information.

Will we be getting a January teaser, or will the page be updated with full information immediately?

we’ll talk more about <insert feature here> soon, when it’s closer to release

dont get your hopes up, there’s likely going to be even less here than wintersday if from what anet keeps saying about it being a small update

Well, the patch is small in comparison to Feb/March, but there’s still quite a few things coming. According to this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Colin-on-MMOFTW there will be a lot going on. It isn’t a huge patch, but from the already mentioned changes, I’m eager to see what the unmentioned stuff will be.

You know soon™ is registered trademark of Anet? You can’t blatantly use it without their written permission.

On topic: I’m interested in seeing the teaser too. Was hopping that we will get it before the event itself.

This patch seems to be more about mechanic changes and new features, rather than content.

Which is good, game could use that. Doesn’t make for much of an exciting teaser though. It’d be funny to see them try though, like there’s this fully animated 3 minute movie of a guy being disconnected in fractals and then rejoining his group. “WOW FRED IS BACK! AMAZING I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD”

Hm?
There will be no event. Just a small update.

I just want this page updated:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/december-2012/
As you can see, January 2013 is marked as coming soon, and like all the previous updates, this one will have it’s details appearing on this page. There may not be huge content, but this is the place to map out all the upcoming features and mechanics. So I’m not all that worried about a 3 minute movie, rather the list of details that’s coming in the patch.

As for content though, ANet has noted that the Jan updated will lead into the Feb/March changes, so who is to say it’ll have absolutely zero story elements thrown in. For all we know, Jan might be a small foreshadowing of whatever comes after.

The gift that I want for my birthday (January 29th) is for Anet to allow changing the stats of legendaries… Make me happy on my bday pls Anet!

I check this page everyday, and recently a new theme appeared, instead of the classic gw2 theme, there is now a darker theme

Aaah, nice catch.

Colin did say in his 6 month overview thing that the January update would set up the `story` for the Feb update which implies that there will be at least a small amount of story.

Dont get excited, we will not see any new content till late February or early March.

Currently they are focusing on trying to fix some of the games core problems (something they should off done before releasing the game).

This months update will be mostly bug fixes and “game fixes”.

So sadly nothing to do until March, hopefully the “expansion worth of content” was not a lie, i got this horrible feeling they might think bug fixes and game fixes count as new content, if that is true then there will be many unhappy players. For example, this new vendor that was previewed is not new content, its just a “game fix” luring us into old content.

But there is no subscription fee so play other games and come back when things get fun again thats my plan
