Those new Skills and Traits.....
Probably next year or never……..
well in the announcement it was said within 2013
And that’s essentially all that they have told us.
We don’t have any details as of now, but I’m hoping for new utility skills and customizable weapon skills. I’d personally love to have some say on what skills I can use with the weapons I want to use. But we’ve a third of the year before the changes are supposed to be implemented, so as of now we can only speculate.
Along with new skills we urgently need two things:
good quality content to acquire them
good quality content to use them
This Guild Wars 2: Heart of the Swarm won’t even let you experiment with them as it is now.
Colin mentioned they will announce something big at PAX, but it won’t be an expansion, and we were told we won’t get any new region this year, and that new profession won’t come any time soon. It’s possible that the big announcement will be the new skills.

I just hope that it will be biggeer than Queen’s Speech (or rather Queen’s One Sentence).
But not bigger in scale but in quality.
We really need info quick;y to give feedback, to preach, to predict, to warn.
When exactly should we expect to hear something at Pax from Arenanet? Will I be able to watch it for free on the fly?
The community is hurried to see some big and quality content.
We are all accorded to say that.
But until the game will stop giving money a little bit, they will not release anything big. Cause GW2 don’t have any real challenger for now, NCSoft do what they want. Just wait other MMO to be released.

I am, but I don’t know that the community as a whole is. For all we know the typical player is quite content to be fed farming-friendly Living Story content.

I don’t think so. Or then, they will be annoyed without knowing it and they will go on another game. Maybe people are happy for now (because the new LS is great), but that’s all.

The current living story is great is pure opinion, I think its utterly rubbish and am giving the game a break for 2 weeks while I wait for the next one.

You’re right. I hope we will get something really big soon.
On a gem store rampage anet is at, we will be lucky to see anything not gem store/living story involved by 2018.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
i thought we were supposed to see something big like skills for this update because its the 1y anniversary. but instead its just Anet = Oprah giving away QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEN JENNAH MINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS! and one for you! and one for you! and you too! WOW!
if we could put gifs in here i would totally put the Oprah BEEEEEEEEES! gif.

Game needs more skill customization.
80 levels of the same 5-10 weapon skills, 4 of which are actually useful gets old fast.

They are too busy with their living story crap to even care.Cuz living story = more$$$$ in the gem store
but that’s the whole point, they said new stuff is coming. sooooooooooo
They have said it takes a team 2 months to do a 2 week content update, they have 4 teams.
So expect to see new skills/traits in 2 months from when they start talking about it…
Probably, one of the September updates. Everyone may have noticed there as been no major changes to the meta (balance/nerfing) the last 2 updates. This is because they are not changing the meta until after the PAX PvP tournament.
But, there are going to be SERIOUS changes to the meta after that…

I hope you’re right, this is the worst meta ever.
As I see, many guys thinks like me. Stop holding your players with LS, ArenaNet. LS is good… But only in addition of something bigger ! We need bigger content !
We need new skills, new races, new areas, new EPIC bosses (many Dragons here). I already know you will not release any new classes, but do what you said before it’s too late.
do you think they are timing it to a specific living story?

Well with the time they’ve taken off for this PvP Tournament it’s possible. There’s a lot of things it could be that we’ve wanted and waited for that a lot of people would be happy to see (Such as GvG Arenas). The thing to remember is there is even more that could just as easily pop into existence at the will of the Powers That Be that we wouldn’t even have the slightest clue of until it smacks us in the face leaving us with a reaction akin to, “Well that’s really cool guys but…where’s all this stuff we’ve been really waiting for…?”.
Judging from past experiences I will place my money on something new, completely irrelevant to anything we’ve been longing for. That doesn’t make it a bad thing…it’s just not necessarily what I want or hope for.
We’ll see.

Before adding anything , old bugs must be fixed and addressed than.

Unlike a lot of developers Anet has a habit of announcing their new ideas when they first have them, rather than when it’s entering the final stages of development and nearly ready for release.
They did it with the Living Story (not the individual releases but the idea of it), the legendary scavenger hunt and even with the game itself. When Guild Wars 2 was first announced they had only just started work on Eye of the North and only just decided they wanted to make a sequel. This lead to a lot of people thinking the game took a very long time to make or was repeatedly delayed, when in fact it took about as long as any other MMO. But most are first announced 3-4 years into their development.
I suspect this is the same. They’ve told us they’re going to add new skills and/or traits, and that’s all they’ve got so far. They haven’t actually worked out the details so they can’t tell us any.
