No, we didn’t get ‘regular’ updates during season 2. Why would we get them now that LS is either on hiatus or done away with? I guess they could do little skill tweaks for ‘balancing’ between now and then but that’s hardly a draw for anyone outside of PvP (even in WvW the changes were meaningless since it’s still zerg mentality).

Not the first time this is come up (although not the hundredth either oddly enough, would imagine this would be more of a thing).
The answer is no. Season 2 ended, we’ll not be seeing any new updates (if we’re lucky we might see old content though) until HoT drops.

This is the thing about expansions, where living story releases content fairly regularly an expansion releases content in bulk at once (and hopefully a larger overall amount of content). However looking at other games that follow the expansion model (I’m thinking WoW who usually has months long content droughts, having gone for almost a year between Cata and Mists if I remember correctly) the period before the expansion is usually a wasteland with little to no new content. Mostly because the developers are developing the expansion. So it’s all hands on deck for HoT leaving little resources for things such as LW.

We could discuss how a combination of LW and Expansion model could help resolve these sorts of issues (that is drop expansion release LW with a skeleton crew to keep players busy until next expansion is finished by the main crew) but at present we’re looking at a good couple of months (hopefully no more than 6 or so) without new content.
So I guess we can all work on those legendaries? Maybe we’ll get a SAB? Who knows. ANet has been very quiet about it.
