Guild Wars 2

I wonder, with the upcoming expansion, I wonder if Arenanet would do what they did with the base game and have Mordremoth be fought at the end or will they do what Blizzard did with it’s expansions in that they would release a final battle patch of sorts via Living Story? What do you guys think?

The game will be fully playable at launch. including the mordremoth encounter. Anet doesn’t release an unfinished game and update the ending at a later date.

This has to be true otherwise the Zhaitan fight would be updated and wouldn’t suck so much.

Lots of flaws in that theory.
Remember when WOW releases Cataclysm, with big bad Deathwing on the cover?
He wasn’t fightable until a later patch, after the expansion came out.

Not that this proves a pattern on Anet’s part, but it shows that expansion is no guarantee of any boss or dungeon being available day one.

I’d guess a roll out of Living Story updates leading up to the fight proper. Which could work just fine with the framework the expansion will provide.

We didn’t see the Vinewrath the moment we entered Dry Top, either. We had to work our way through there and into Silverwastes and then fight Mordrem for forts for a while. I’m sure ANet can release progressive story if they want.
