Guild Wars 2

January end of season 2 and announcement of expansion pack.
March demo is being played, announcement of stress test.
April nada nothing niet you ain’t getting anything.
May the mouse wheel experiment for the Portal.
This week again nothing of relevance.
Are we done with the store yet?
Has the store become more important than even an expansion?
Even China now is concerned that the company has become more focused on selling junk and making money than caring about it’s player base.
So come on Anet get it together and get it on with PVE beta already this is getting old.

Considering the beta portal drops either stopped Sunday night or Friday (all they said was that last weekend would be the last weekend, not the last day). So portal drops could still be going on.

Also, this is what so many of you wanted. This is what happens with an xpac; you get months of nothing to do. We could have been fishing up LW: Season 3 by now. We’ve had no real content update since Jan. And technically, I don’t consider a beta “content”, as it’s only for select players, for a limited time with the intent to test their new stuff, plus you don’t keep anything that you get while playing.

We’ve had:
2 weeks of an old mini game, with 2 new back items, a reskin of WvW and DR (why is everything so bloody human centric, I miss the first Wintersday when they visited every racial city), and some firework items (which only provided a temp magic find buff)
A very, very long PvP tourney (I bet they’ll do a WvW soon too, to pass another ~5-8 weeks)

The only way we are getting any new content is if they decide to release the things that will be “free” when HoT comes out. Meaning, Stronghold will come out when it’s ready, instead of waiting for HoT launch. Same with the new WvW borderland. Most people assume that we’re getting HoT with the 3rd year anniversary in late Aug, so you’ve still got a bunch of months with nothing new. I just hope that HoT is actually worth the wait (and the cost) compared to what we could have had if they kept up with LS releases every 2-4 weeks for free.

Just think how great it would have been to receive all this content at the same pace as the 2-4 week updates. But nope the expansion crowed complained for 2 years, so now we follow the typical MMO. So 6-9 month wait between content that takes 1-2 weeks to complete, then wait another 6-9 months.

Yay expansions, wish Arena Net would have followed their original goals of no expansions.
