Guild Wars 2

A lot of people are feeling HoT is taking way too long to come out. Especially since it’s still very beta.

Arenanet, is this expansion also releasing slower than you had hoped for?

No, i hope they take as long as they need.

Better to not rush it and have it come out just for people to make threads complaining how "rushed"and “unfinished” it is and then saying they are “leaving”. people wanting the expac out now are the same ones that’ll leave the game after a month anyways.

TAKE YOUR TIME ANET, LETS HAVE A GREAT FINISHED PRODUCT

Ha ha. No matter when it releases, I’m sure there will be posts/threads about how rushed and unfinished it is.

Remember how Core GW2 took 5 years to release? Remember how, to this day, players state it’s rushed and unfinished? Lol.

The Devs stated back then, and still state, that no matter how much time they spend on development, it’s never finished to their satisfaction, truly. There is always more they want to do. But…there comes a time when the game just has to be released.

Good luck.

There will be bugs. It’s the nature of complex software development that somewhere something will be buggy, or have some emergent buggy-properties (which could not have been foreseen without large scale testing allowing for different systems to interact over numerous iterations and over a larger period of time).
So those who want to see it as rushed will (as a result of confirmation bias) still think so.

that is just how Anet did it with the first GW and all it,s pack,s they took there time and got it right. and we waited . and we sure in the kitten did not cry about it taking it,s time to come out . stop getting your dang litter boxes all messed up over hot not out being now. and in the kitten stop your crying over noting it will be out when its ready to be out.

Sure. Me too. I do not want to wait any longer.

But the reality is: Game development takes a lot of time.

The announcement of HoT was this year and it will be released this year. I think that is not a very long time. In fact I think that this is a short time and I really hope that this will be enough time to make a “big” expansion.
