Yaaaaayyyy can’t wait to not have a Halloween event this year! Seriously? Ruin the best holiday event in gw2?!
I don’t give a kitten about playing dress up with halloween costumes
HoT > some holiday event. you think an expac releases every year like some kids holiday event? Please. HoT is way more important than running around LA playing dressup
I’d rather wait longer for a bug free expansion that’s polished and have new LAs first Halloween event… an event mind you that is EASILY the most popular and heavily played by the GW2 playerbase.
You think some silly halloween event will attract players to this game over a new expansion?
What do you think has a greater chance of attracting players back to this game that took a break/quit? playing dress up for a weekend or an EXPANSION release?
Who said it won’t be polished? bug free? in 2015? find me a game/xpac that releases bug free in this age of technology lmao.Nice logic you have. I’m glad you don’t make decisions for this game.
You clearly have never done a gw2 halloween. It always spikes a resurgence of players. It lasts two weeks… not a weekend. And even last year’s rehashed content had TONS of people excited and playing…
This game has gotten a lot of new players in the last few days. Last night, I had to teach PUGs how to play SW. The newbies will be all over the Halloween content and farming it along with us Vets.

IF there IS Halloween content. That is my concern. They are releasing HoT when they would normally release Halloween. There is NO WAY they will do both bc they don’t want to draw any attention from the HoT release.

I saw this yesterday while leaving work. I instantly swiveled around and galloped to the office where we write notes asking for time off. Yes, I will probably die instantly upon setting foot in HoT but I want to be there. Then the actual day the 23rd falls on hit me like a ton of bricks. FRIDAY. No way can I take that day off. I can swing Saturday for getting off, but not Sunday
Oh well.
I wrote a note to get off as early as possible on Friday, and take Saturday off. Since I am going to instantly die in HoTdue to my exotics and being a lousy player I don’t really need to take a lot of time off
HoT!!!!! WHOOP!!!!!
And as far a Halloween goes….there is room for both. Put Halloween in the vanilla map because I cannot see all the Guildwars2 population being able to squeeze into the HoT maps at the same time. Halloween will ensure that those who can’t get in , or do not have HoT, will still have something fun to do.
HoT!!!! WHOOP!!!!

Isn’t it amazing how low key this topic is? Being that it’s basically the forum topic about the HoT release date, one would expect it to be by hundreds of posts by now. Instead… Nothing.
As if people didn’t care AT ALL about the release date of HoT.
Or maybe, just maybe, there isn’t really much to discuss about a date? We know when release is not, what else is there to say about it?
This
I also think another reason why the release date isn’t discussed to death is the fact that HoT releases so soon. If they gave us a a release date of February 2016 for example than this thread would definitely be longer. Most of it probably filled by complaints.
The fact that this topic is so low key is actually a good sign. It means people are pleasantly surprised about the release date and have no need to complain about it.
See you in two months! HoT is going to be awesome

Pshaw. I didn’t wear a single ascended piece last beta. I just customized the exotics the game handed me. Death happened, sure, but it wasn’t instant or even constant.
Now, your being a lousy player? That could be a factor :p Just have fun with all the new ways to die! (That dino that rolled slowly all over the combat area had me in stitches).

I look forward to the release of Heart of Thorns, and I’m surprised that ArenaNet decided to release it as soon as October, considering it’ll leave them with too little time to address player feedback from the third BWE (with the soon-to-be-revealed ranger and engineer specializations not to mention whatever bugs may occur). But I guess the Christmas market is out of the question because it’s going to be crowded; at least the October release will allow us to get our hands on HoT faster.
I’m somewhat worried with the expansion shipping with only four PvE maps initially (one of which appears to include the Golden City which may or may not take a large chunk of the appropriately named map I assume it’s on). It should, however, be interesting to see how much the three biomes will be used in the expansion apart from Verdant Brink as that’s a concept the devs can play around with a lot and provides interesting opportunities for exploration.
Considering how much time it’s taken to provide us with just four PvE maps (although we shouldn’t forget them adding maps for other game modes, a new class, specializations, raids and masteries among others), I hope these maps will deliver content in interesting and meaningful ways. I also hope that the story will be longer than, say, two Living World seasons because I want it to be a long journey worth telling and experiencing. At least we’ll have a somewhat different narrative experience with a sylvari character compared to the other races. Based on what I’ve experienced in the beta so far, it looks promising especially with the player voice being heard in the open world (and the “instanced” NPC dialogue they’ll likely implement in the open world like they’ve already done with Ela Makkay in LA).
ArenaNet didn’t move away from the Living World and decided to make an expansion because the Living World failed, of course not.
Except Anet doesn’t seem to view Living World as a failure; to them it appears to be more of a setback based on what was said in the recent PAX video. It was specifically mentioned that Living World will continue after Heart of Thorns. If Anet really viewed LW as a failure as some in the playerbase do, surely they would’ve just buried the concept and never brought it up again. Instead they took the effort to implement a Season 1 recap video in the game recently with a written description of what S1 was about as a concept and also mentioned the continuation of LW as per the aforementioned PAX presentation. They’ve also mentioned potentially adding S1 to gem store in the future so players can experience that content again although I don’t think that’ll happen anytime soon as they’ll have to take care of HoT and the future Season 3 stuff first.
To me it looks like the current business model they’re going with is this: release an expansion to GW2 every few years or so and bridge the gaps between expansions with Living World seasons. It’s not a bad business plan and, if they manage to keep the pace of releasing chapters in a season without too big breaks in between, it could turn out to be quite profitable in the long run. On the one hand they’ll please people crying for meatier content with an expansion and on the other hand they’ll also give active players something to do in the interim with the release of LW seasons.
Also, the end of your post was needlessly rude; the final sentence with the comment about tears added nothing of value to your argument. Feel free to provide criticism of the game but please take the effort to do so in a polite and constructive manner as per the forum’s Code of Conduct.
