I’m actually disappointed at this news. I’d rather they spend an extra 2-4 weeks giving us a more polished product AND not kitten us out of what is traditionally been the favorite holiday for GW2 players… Halloween

… Halloween is always the same content each year… they just have to “activate” it for the respective week.

That’s like the whole point of repetitive events, turn it on/off when required. At most they could add some other event to it but the base is there.

Do you really think they started working on Halloween 2012 after the 25 August 2012? They plan things ahead and they have already polished Halloween 2015 for several weeks… or not.

Actually I’ve done every year and no they haven’t been all the same. Was hoping for a new one this year. Plus even if it is just an “activate” which I doubt, who’s going to be doing it with all the HoT content?

That sucks…Fallout 4 comes out 2 weeks after HoT.

As much as I am looking forward to Fallout 4, I made a decision long ago never to buy any Bethesda games until a few months after release. The number of bugs at release is just crippling.

Besides, Bethesda will likely not release GECK until a few months later anyway. And it might get cheaper by then!

I’m happy! As to the Halloween content, don’t forget they tend to do it for a few weeks leading up to Halloween so there’ll be time before HoT for that.

Plus, well, let’s not complain about having too many things to do in game, hmm?

Why would they dump Halloween and HoT at the same time? I guarantee it will be one or the other and looks like HoT…

Its unlikely they will have HoT and Halloween at the same time. Patching nightmare.

They may launch it extra early or later and run it later. Or launch it at the same time as the HoT patch.

Halloween is a big part of the seasonal side of the franchise and even overshadowed by HoT, I still expect to see it

I’m suspicious for other reasons. For example, we haven’t even tested druid or gotten any info on that class, or the number of maps, or . . . well, you get the idea. Let’s not even talk about the amount of content again or what this hints.

Regardless, hope it’s not a buggy mess, but yes. Please confirm if possible.

My guess is that they’ll have at least one more BWE for Druid and engine, then one big event for all the specialization a before launch to iron out changes, and we’ll see more changes afterwards after HoT drops too.

Here’s hoping! I keep saying it but I’d love to see them start rolling out BWE every weekend now until hot is live. I mean all it can do is some good. There’s plenty of testing yet to be done

So . . . one more test for druid and one more test for everyone and everything overall?

And are all the maps and content going to be tested before this release date? It’s my understanding that the last tests only included around 25% of one map. Heck, ranger alone has a ton of bugs still not addressed or fixed since the last big update.

I know people are bored and unhappy with little to do, but I’d still rather wait for a finished and polished product than an unfinished and buggy one. Hope this doesn’t go The Sims 4 route of releasing the rest of the product later.

That wasn’t pretty. And if that’s the case, ANet better hire a lot more moderators and fire extinguishers for these forums.

Nope,
During BWE’s for GW2 core release, they didnt test all the maps either.

I remember they did a 30 minute preview of ebonhawk. So thats how I remember. I don’t really recall how much map they uncovered during that.

Point is that they dont need to test all maps. they want to test concepts. Once you got it right in one map, you get it right in all maps. They also don’t want to spill all the beans

So . . . 25% of one map from an unknown number of maps before release? Yikes. Well their call. But, I’ll admit, I’m more tempted to pre-order now to get ahead of the curve.

Guess we’ll see how it pans out. But you know that old Star Wars saying? “I have a bad feeling about this” pretty much covers it.

Well keep in mind it’s beta. I don’t think in the last beta we had access to 100% for gw2 launch. Or did we? I won’t be in the new maps for a while anyways

So how to know when people just enjoy trolling the forums. A post about F2P gets hundreds of posts in a few hours, while a post with a release date hardly gets anything.

Anyone else just request time off for the 23rd of October. I am all set!
