Guild Wars 2

when will the expansion be fully released?

“We got all these great new this and that and everything but there will only be a small portion of it available at release. All the rest will come at some point after.”

Like only the first wing of raids. Only three new legendaries (btw. one month to create one? So are we looking at a year until all are released, 1 wpn per month?)

Full Release is next Week.

Full release of all content associated with HoT will not release on the 23. It will be months or longer until all content we’ve been told about will be released.

we will get the full maps, stories, modes, specializations and so on at the relase date. the only thing they give us later are Raids and the new Legendary weapons (if I missed something, please tell me).
the first Raid will be gated at 3 weeks after release because according to the related post they want us to have the chance to explore and get used to the new content for a while so people are ready when the raids drop – as some parts will require that we have learned some masteries like gliding to survive. I guess this should also allow some players to be ready for raids without completly focusing on gliding mastery or whatever may be needed and rush for it.
for the new legenarys: we only get 3 at first, with more coming in the future but without any ETA, and those 3 will come with the raids, I haven’t heard of a specific reason why but I assume that some part of the crafting process may be connected to raids.

And at some point they will start the Living Story back up. So more content will be coming with that too.

Correct.

I’m assuming that the other Legendaries will be released on a similar schedule as the raid wings.

that is possible, but for me it sounded more like at least half of the new legendarys are still WIP. we will have to see when we will actually get them.
