Guild Wars 2

Dumb question, but has anything been said about whether or not there will be any new content between announcement and the actual release of Heart of Thorns? Too long with nothing novel to do is likely to be a fair old turn-off for those of us who’ve played the game to death and gotten used to getting our stimulation from a fix of new content every few weeks.

(I’m looking forward to the expansion, and expect ANet will be putting every free body on it; but I play with a group of fairly casual gamers, and I’m not looking forward to, say, several months of trying to find something else interesting for us all to do in what’s already there, if that’s how long it takes for HoT to arrive…)

Edit: Corrected dumb typo.

They said they will feed us some info later on. But the problem is.. they didn’t say how far they’re done. So we could get info next week.. or the first piece of info might not be until summer.. thats the sad part.. we don’t know how far they are and how quickly they can start releasing information
..
kind of like world war 3.. we all know it’s gonna happen.. but.. this year.. next year.. in 50 years????

Gaile posted in one of the threads that the “deep dives” with information will start in early February so this week or next week.

Also, she said something similar in the stickied thread.

I asked an anet staff member that happened to be in heart of the mists yesterday about chucking us a bone or two about any of the new legendaries – like, it would be nice to have something to look forward to, or aim towards, before HoT is even out. I love planning in advance.

But sadly he said he couldn’t.

A watched pot never boils!

… yeah I can’t stop looking at it right now
