Guild Wars 2

Anet has four teams working on their own LS contents, and they plan to make updates in the future more ambitious and with a lot more permanent content.

When the Pavilion stuff ends, and the next content patch along with it, Anet is planning to end their festivals, as they now have a full portfolio of yearly events for the game.

We should expect to see more permanent and even better content in the future, or at the very least we can hope it’ll be soon.

Hmm, I wish they posted about these things. Could someone confirm this? Because if that’s true, I made this thread for no reason. It seems exciting

I’ll see if I can find the interviews again, I’ll edit this once I find them, unless someone else does it before me.

You’ll have to skim the first two if you don’t want to fully read, but the third one is his most recent statement I can find about it.

This is what i’ve been saying and your pics sums it up. Guess how next update will be? and the one after, can you guess it? I sure can… NEW important GEM STORE ITEMS!!!

You’ve been saying a lot of things that are just your opinion just as the OP’s opinion is his. There are a whole lot of people that really enjoy these updates.

Like the current update has more challenging content for people who want to try to beat the Queen’s Guantlet with gambits, easier content for the people who like the torch mini game or just dynamic events running around doing balloons, farming content, for people who like to zerg, achievements for those who like those…Anet has provided a range of activities.

The cash shop stuff this time around and last time too was meaningless and isnt’ required. Buy a pass to enter a convenience area, which drops in the game too. Big deal.

Maybe your point of view is jaded because you don’t like the game. I’ve been on overflow servers in Divinity’s Reach since this event started. I’ve not once gotten to my home server.

Someone obviously likes the game.

OP, the game isn’t even a year old yet…they’re still working on content. Furthermore, I believe the game released early, just like every other MMO I can think of. Too few features, not enough end game content, lots of bugs…all the signs are there. This game just now is getting to where it should be at the start.

This is true of most new MMOs. Most new MMOs need a year or two to become what they’re going to become and the stuff released during that time becomes the “backbone” of the game.

But I don’t think most people realize this and I don’t think most people are patient. Believe me when I tell you, what we’ve seen so far is just a setup for what’s to come later.

I understand what you’re saying and I agree, a lot of the events seem to be almost reskins of eachother, but you’re not really getting your point across that well..

in reference to your image, what would a update consist of if there were no events, rewards or features?! You can’t just say the updates are similar because they all have FEATURES AND REWARDS. What the kitten?

Each content Addition, we seem to get similar additions, small rewards, achievements, and a few PvP orientated bits.

Yes we get other stuff like wallet and Fixes but to me those are repairs to issues not content.

I agree with the op a lot and would really like to see some substantial content additions like skills, classes, world additions etc.

This temporary trend thing is starting to annoy me and many many people i talk to in game, so obviously i’m not alone, i just wish Anet could see a large number are really upset with how the game is progressing.

I dislike the fast-changing content, because: (1) if I actually do enjoy it then I don’t like the fact that I can’t play it again, (2) some of it seems rushed and lacking in the polish for which this game is otherwise renowned, (3) it suffers the same annoyance factor as once-per-day content in that you can’t just enjoy it when you want to.
