Guild Wars 2

as title says bin 3-4 weeks without one since I really dont count Revs Ventari as an Elite Spez overview. And you have 5 more to show + Revs

Are we getting anything on Friday perhaps ? this is the reason I bought HoT

They will reveal them when they are ready to be revealed. Be patient.

so in other words u dont know, yet u felt u needed to make that answer

Ravezaar is right though, the hype is pretty much dead and the expansion fiasco didn’t help much.

Other games give you an exciting homepage to explore if they are announcing an expansion, with Heart of Thorns we get a tiny bit here and a tiny bit there, and if you are not interested much in one of the tiny bits, you have to wait at least a week to maybe get some more information on the stuff you want.

They did something similar with the first “feature patch” and it just felt awkward to have a daily announcement for trivial stuff like taking away the costs for repairs.

This weekly schedule just feels like butter scraped over too much bread. It feels like ANet is trying to make the little stuff we get in the expansion look like something really big.

They should have called the expansion “Blowfish of Thorns”…

Well, this last week’s release of information was pretty big. I think there were 6 or 7 blogs alone on the new Guild Halls. Something a lot of players have been asking for, for a long time; especially the GvG-type content.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t most companies revealing an expansion spread out the reveals of features and such over time?

It was pretty big compared to what we got in the weeks before, and they needed something to tell in times of E3.
Still not impressive matters of information. It is one of the single biggest features of the expansion.
They should have given us some 30 minutes of maguuma gameplay and some profession videos to push the hype.

Plenty of mmos give much less. Tsw and lotro are increasingly less forthcoming with their additions, altho both have moved away from expacs now

Diff companies do it diff ways. I quite like Anets method.

To answer the op, the community doesnt know and you wont get a direct dev reply on this.

No need to be rude. No one knows except Anet and Anet is very unlikely to provide you with an answer.

Most companies give a fair overview. They tell you what you will get and than start releasing information ont the topics.

ANet gives a mysterious hint on what we might get with the expansion and than takes forever to actually tell us what they mean.

Look at the specialization thing. After monthes, we do not know half of them, we just know there will be something. Let’s not start with maps or gameplay, group content like raids or dungeons or most of the stuff in general.

I’m thinking that they’re taking their sweet time releasing info because the X-pack won’t be available for a while. Anet have kind of trapped themselves. Working on HoT I think is the reason there haven’t been any updates in a long time. They announce HoT too early due to lots of players getting bored and leaving and now they have a long ways to go before they’re done and are just trying to keep our interest with weekly updates and pre purchase. Anet seems to be making a lot of unfortunate mistakes, I just hope it doesn’t result in the premature death of the game.
