Q: When is the next big feature reveal for what’s coming in this expansion?
A: We wanted to reveal Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns when we were ready to talk about every major feature we’re planning. That’s why right now, every major feature planned for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is there for you to check out at http://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com. That said, there are so many details left to uncover and share with you, to show you, and to eventually let you play as we take you on the journey from now through launch.
… every major feauture was revealed or mentioned.
As far as I know, dungeons/raids and new races are major feautures in the MMO genre. What would MMOs be without dungeons and races?
Raids are not a major feature of guild wars 2 neither are dungeons. Most of the things they talked about where either brand new. I mean based on your logic are not getting new armor because they never announced it.

This is an mmo forum, if someone isn’t whining chances are the game is dead.

If I had spear I’d not be likely to SLASH using it
also as for me weapon he used there was more greataxe-y that spearlike…
Consider the shape and how small the head was, the weapon was very spear like in appearance.
And there’s many ways to wield a spear, poking most certainly is not their only use. Slashing (provided the spear/polearm in question has an adequate head to do so with) and whacking are perfectly good ways to inflict serious injury with them.
They said beyond Level 80, so there is an increased level cap.
Beyond level 80 meaning the content provides a form of progression at the level cap. They were extremely explicit about the fact that level 80 is still max level, and existing ascended/legendary is still the highest gear tier. It was a major selling point, something to the effect of, “GW2 isn’t like WoW, because when we release an expansion we don’t instantly make all the stuff you’ve worked your butts off for worthless.”
Is it just me or the whole concept of this thread is pretty irrational? Anyway…
Here a list of other things HoT will not contain:
- DirectX 13 support.
- Free tickets to the next E3.
- Slavery simulation.
- Edible pillows.
- After-shave commercials.
- In-character Pastarian faith.
We’re talking about the things that got speculated about a lot and turned out not to be. We’re not making an exhaustive list of everything in the universe that isn’t in the expansion.
im pretty sure rytlock was wielding a staff. 2 things i can say for sure he is not using though are a halberd or great axe. the size and shape are completely off for either of those. Also a staff would make more sense for a spellcaster profession.
Yeah they also called those ridiculously easy achievements from season 2 ‘a challenge’
so it remains to be seen if it’s challenging for your average spam#1 zergling or actual organized pve groups/guilds.
I’d love to be able to kill epic bosses with my guild, not this open world stuff with hundreds of other players that render my individual contribution completely meaningless.
My point is, don’t jump any boat until you see. Anet both surprises and lets us down sometimes, so dont make too kittenumptions

They did announce group content though. So we would likely be getting more open world raiding at least. But if we don’t get them it wouldn’t be too surprising, when last did they do something with dungeons or fractals?
New adventures await you in the heart of the Maguuma Jungle. Confront the growing hordes of Mordremoth’s minions, discover allies from ancient civilizations, and battle new enemies.
Tackle challenging group content.
Explore new open world jungle maps.
Experience new events and storylines.
Test your mettle in new boss battles.
I’m expecting more Tequatl / Triple Trouble myself. That seems like a safe bet.

It’s not irrational if one takes “not announce” to mean “what I wanted but didn’t get” or “what I expected but didn’t get”. If we did take this thread at face value then yes, it would be rather impossible to list everything that wasn’t announced.

still the way he used that wepon totally nullified range advantage of spear – the mai nreason it was used at all
also when you already have spear capable of slashing – all fighting styles I knwo that usilise spear in slashing manner is a way faster – i mean – spear is no THAT heavy to have such slow atack rate….
“-Shield is meant to be broken!”
“-and on this occasion I keep mine plate armors”
discussion about offensive/deffensive playstyles
I had another close look at the expansion trailer, and at about the 55 sec mark you see Rhytlock march into a temple of sorts towards 3 glowing beings. what’s interesting is that he’s followed by what looks to be 10 PCs.

Looked more like a halberd to me. We also see Faolin using a spear to impale an enemy. I’m not sure they would add that stuff in the trailers and imagery and not add a 2h polearm to the game.
