Guild Wars 2

New Weapons? Maps? Duells???

Are we getting anything diff but annoying LS and fancy Head/Back pieces???

Or will i have to move to ESO???

-_-

There’s going to be a break period with no content or patches, so if you have any doubts about this game you’ll probably end up playing ESO, although I will state that ESO is most likely not even worth your time.

More same day patches.

Im referring to the “Big Patch” Anet said would come, you know, the one who will bring “big changes”… and acoording to guildmates, they said it would be around April, sametime as ESO launch.

Expect the feature patch to come late. Well that was it expectation wise. You are better off keeping those extremely low.
Best case scenario is a mind blowing suprise when patch day finally goes live, worst case is another meh…

I know it is hard to keep expectations low as Anet loves to tease and advertise their stuff hard (and too early) and also with additions of weird jokes and rather weird dialogues between staff members?!

I expect minor class changes (balance, sry I giggle atm) some nice back pieces, some bug fixes and a minor overhaul to PvP rewards after they will have taken glory out for at least a month. I think this is somewhat realistic.

ESO won’t even be worth it at all. The only update between now and the big feature patch is the maintenance patch on the 18th, and that’s when glory is being removed. Also, since Anet moved the feature build from being on the 18th, we can only assume they have a lot more content and more than likely new additions, possibly some updated current content as well for when it comes in early April.

there will be changes to about 1/4th of all professions skills/traits, and so on.
there will be some bug fixes in dungeons.
dungeons and fractals will be “fixed” which means making them harder to do normally and forcing players into a “this is how it should be done” mentality.
world events will all scale up because knights.

what I’d like to see:
new race / class
precursor hunt
500 jeweler/cook
solo dungeons

Eso lol. Anyway lets keep this on topic as it is the gw2 forums. I think whenever LS 2 starts, if they decide to release the big meaty content then(this is a separate patch id guess theyd release from the feature release), it will be around the same time gw2 releases in china. I think they want to synchronize the beginning of LS 2 with a brand new community that will be entering. I highly highly doubt they will want china to join 1 month after the LS already started and miss the hype.

But whenever it LS 2 hits, I think new maps are obvious. DE’s that expand upon the very system of DE’s, pushing them to farther technical limits. I don’t think a new race to be honest or a new class even though I really hope im wrong. Im pretty confident new weapons for current classes will hit first and im pretty sure it will come this year(it should since its bee 18 months already, probably close to 20 when LS 2 starts).

I think what we should be excited for is new features anet plans on adding. This always adds diversity to the game. Perhaps gvg modes? more spvp modes im sure. The obvious rune/sigil/class changes. As for the others I really don’t know, anet said they had some they weren’t ready to talk about which makes me excited kind of.

I really want double sigils

Some new horrendous grinds for vertical progression, more zerg, more buggy content with very little story.

I think this sums it up pretty well.

AFAIK

18/3/14 maintenance patch/wrapping up of living story season 1, nothing big/spectacular, PvP glory removed from game.

28/3/14 season 2 of WvW starts.

Features patch unknown, could be end of March or April. Mainly class trait/skill nerfs, revamping runes (interesting) and rebalancing sigils (more nerfs), allowing 2 sigils to be put in 2 handers (nice). PvP possible new game mode other than conquest (actually excited by this) and a replacement for glory/PvP rewards revamp(interesting, chances are it will be mega grindy).

ESO isn’t any where near as good as GW2…but it is new and shiney, full of new content…loads of players I know are buying it and playing it to death for a month at least.

However, I suspect 60%+ will then not subscribe. Around 20-30% will subscribe for 3-6 months before quiting and 5-10% of players will subscribe long term.

If your happy to pay $60+ to rent a game for a month then go for it…

I think the patch, because of the huge balance part, will come after the wvw season 2, which would be the may 16th

lol. Pretty obvious it’s meant as a way to keep people in here when a competitor launches.

It took them over a month just to give us a new flame armor. Don’t expect them to cram in a bunch more stuff because they had 2 more weeks.
