Guild Wars 2

There’s been so much focus on the new player experience for the past year, that it only makes sense that Anet is going to launch something with a hype train soon.

I don’t know what it is, but I hope it’s worth the hype.

They’ve been expanding the game minorly for the past 2 years. Hopefully it’s that they are going to do a bulky expansion. Free or paid, I don’t care, I just would like to see new skills, traits, zones, weapons, enemies, game modes, storyline, etc. happen all at once so that it’s overwhelming to play the game again.

I agree that it seems that way, although i’d be carefull about getting your hopes up. Expect nothing and never be dissapointed when something new comes around

I’m in agreement with you. Something is coming.

It’s easier to expect nothing when they don’t set an expectation that they are constantly expanding the game.

The coming feature pack is bringing improvements that were designed to ensure the leveling experience and, most importantly, the learning experience is solid, clearly messaged, easy to follow, and rewarding. These were part of the game when we launched in China, and now they’re making their way back to North America and Europe.

The something with a hype train was the China launch, which gave them a reason to rethink how players are introduced to the game. It’s possible something else big will happen in the future, but it’s probable the something big already happened.
