I recall seeing this a while ago, and sure enough, researching the interview done with GW2Guru reassures my curiosity….
SO! What ever happened to:
“What we’re gonna do going forward is we might not do a big patch It’s just as soon as [things are] ready we might just throw [them] in.”
“People keep asking every single patch ‘when is the big patch?’ so what we do for alot of these things is we broke alot of this stuff up and started throwing it out [as it is ready]. So we made the decision let’s just get this to the players now there’s no sense in making them wait.”
“We want to do a really big patch with a lot of hooplah behind it but then we just started realizing these things are done why won’t we just give them to the player right now… We might not do a big patch where we make you wait till April or May or June whatever that will be at this point, we might just say as soon as it’s ready we’ll get that stuff out so we might not do a big patch”
With this “feature” patch, there are alot of pieces being put in place, why aren’t these placed in day by day? so you can observe what works, what’s bugged, and what works fine.
With a patch like this, you can ALREADY SEE, even without it being out yet, that there seems to be a lot of behind the scenes “nervousness” holding the patch back minute by minute.
Is something not working? maybe you shouldn’t be trying to bundle it with everything that does….
