Guild Wars 2

we don’t know! Just repeat this answer everytime you ask people for updates and patches.

March 4 is a Living Story episode, concluding the first season with an effort to re-take Lion’s Arch.

March 18 has been described as a “maintenance patch” and will likely be centered on small bug fixes.

The Features Patch (probably includeing the Rune and Sigil revamp along with many class balance changes) has not yet been announced, other than to say its NOT hitting on March 18.

Well, phooey… I had thought all along that was really when they were going to hit. It will be awesome when they finally implement it though!

A big monster is gonna come out of the ground and the retake for L.A will fail.

Probably.

I like to see if the toxins in the air make LA unlivable or not and if they will leech over to the tungu (how ever you spell it) a wall cant stop what in the air and water.

you forget, the tengu are bird people. they just flap their wings, miasma blows away, crisis averted.

Well, they’re starting WvW Season 2 on Mar 28. That said, it wouldn’t make sense for them to do a major balance patch in the middle of a season. I think we should expect that critdmg and sigil patch to hit before Season 2 starts. I’d also expect the WvW accountbound ranks before the 28th as well, either on the 18th or 25th. I just wasn’t sure if that was tomorrow or not. It looks like there hasn’t been official word one way or the other, so we’ll just have to hold tight and see what anet does.

March 28 sounds unlikely (because we haven’t heard about anything from it so far besides the balance update) so either they will release it in the middle of the season or after it (may 16th)

If they are going to release something, they should do it right before March 30 ( TESO headstart ) or after the first month of TESO when most people realised that it’s just another stupid floppy game.

They plan on taking a break before releasing the feature patch, which is supposed to be like a bigger patch you would see in traditional MMOs. If the patch is really going to contain something major, which I doubt, you can bet there’ll be a lot of advertising along with it, which is usually done several weeks in advance.

The last living story will end on March 18th, which is also when the maintenance patch is. WvW season 2 starts on March 28th and lasts until May 16th. WvW isn’t meant to be balanced, so they could possibly drop the patch in the middle of it, whereas in comparison, if a SPvP tournament was going on, they wouldn’t. The patch could be as late as June, but I wouldn’t expect it to take any longer than that, since they like to always have an event running.

In short, the feature patch won’t be for another 1-3 months.

Because they really need a break, right?? Wasn’t that month from December to 20 January enough, so they need another break after barely a month? That’s odd.

Belive it or not, Devs are humans, same like you.
It’s their work and hobby, not entire life
China release is on days, I bet they’ve been working so kitten it, translating, locating the game into Asia. When it will be released, it will also bring a lot of stuff to fix and look into for couple weeks.
That’s the time they need, that so called “break” to make it possible to put more attention and focus into big release and fixing.
After that gets some “Stability” , they’re coming back with feature patch and new content.

This.
March 11-25(?) is open beta in China. If no huge crippling bugs the game goes live soon after. The time for the rune change is just before China goes live so everything can be synced.
