Guild Wars 2

This is based on logical deduction.

2-week Patch cycle list for remaining 2013:

• September 17th: Rising (TeQuatl’s reboot)

• Oct 1st: ???

• Oct 15th: Preemptive Halloween Patch

• Oct 29th: Last of Halloween patch (+ something else, considering that Oct 31st ends just 2 days later and that’s the last day that Mad King Thorn can be out of the Mad Realm).

• Nov 12th: ???

• Nov 26th: ???

• Dec 10th: Preemptive Wintersday patch

• Dec 24th: Final Wintersday Patch (sinks through to Jan 7th, which wouldn’t be too bad for the developers).

Based on above, November seems to be the only month not already set with holiday or content that can fill in the new Fractals. Mind you there are supposed to be 3 Fractals to release at the same time: Molten Weapons Facility, Aetherblade Retreat, and Thaumanova Reactor.

I can only assume that it won’t be in the Oct 1st patch, because that gives it a short window before being overshadowed by a holiday event and would seem to be fitting more a “filler” patch (like a flash back episode in a Manga/Anime). But there’s also in consideration that we’ll be losing a dungeon just after this month’s passed, being that the SAB will have finished it’s cycle and gone back into build mode by Moto on that same patch. To go from ‘dungeon mode’ to another ‘dungeon mode’ wouldn’t sync well with their patching techniques that they’ve been doing.

Thoughts on my crazy conspiracies?

Where has it been stated that MF and AR dungeons are going to be fractals? I don’t remember this, though it would be cool. As for what your saying, yes I agree November. Prolly at the same time Ascended armor. It’s also the one year anniversary of FotM.

It was stated back before july-23-2013 release

God i hope they revamp the rewards as well. High level fractals just arent worth it :/
