Guild Wars 2

We’ll have more weapons and legends to show off in the future, but this will have to appease your appetites for now. All of the revenant skills and abilities I’ve discussed today will be included in a future beta, so keep on the lookout for them. See you all on the battlefield!

So we get many more weeks where they show us only little…

Why not show us all stuff of revenant in 1 week? we have more professions!

This new stuff/Poi is so kitten slow and small!

I assume they have to fill many many more weeks with infos until the launch They have to bridge the proverbial and notorious silly season.

If it helps you feel any better, this is a pretty good sign that they will probably start going into the next 3 elite specs either next week or the week after. They have 2 more Legends to reveal properly (Shiro and Glint), and spacing them out seems reasonable.

Do you think they’ll reveal revenant’s eltie spec before showing us everything about its base class? If one of those legends are part of an elite spec, then it’s safe to assume that we’ll get the reveal of the other legend after the next three elite spec blogs and before the last three. If not…

I do believe that it won’t be revealed before the base class. I believe it will go as follows:

Next week will be more information about one of the Maguuma Jungle races
Then will be 3 weeks of consecutive elite spec reveals (likely Ranger, Elementalist, and Warrior)
Then we’ll have 2-3 weeks of reveals regarding Guild Halls and Challenging Content
Then we’ll have the 4th Legend reveal for the Revenant, Shiro, effectively revealing all of the base spec lines
Then we’ll have reveals about something deeper in Maguuma, maybe the Exalted
Then we’ll have the final 2 elite spec reveals for existing professions (thief then engineer) as well as topping it off with the elite spec reveal for the Revenant, which could be Glint.

At which point it’s mid to late August, which is when most people theorize the game will be released anyway.

Nah, we won’t have “only 1 new thing per week” , we’ll also have some weeks with no new info at all

We haven’t had that yet. Even the most unexciting of weeks, probably the Dragonhunter PvP demo, still offered some insight into the class. They also talked about WvW that week too.

Let’s say late August release, what’s that ten, eleven week out?
(2) more stances for Rev
(5) elite specs left (5 right?)
The new WvW map
The new PvP map
I assume there will be some insight to gliding.
One week will be box reveal. That’s 10

6 elite specs. The Revenant elite spec still counts and we are still missing two Revenant traitlines. Invocation might actually be Ventari’s, but that’s only a guess.

E3 is in a couple weeks, too. We might not have a broadcast- or we might get one with lots of info they were holding off on. Fact is: No one knows.

And what about Guild Halls? And Challenging Group Content? What about the Tyria and Fractal Masteries?
ANet could stretch this out until next year if they felt like it.

Well a quick google search seem to indicate they’ll be there.

Late August release? Do you guys have amnesia when it comes to content being released for this game or are the rose tinted glasses making things a little blurry?

I mean Im not trying tto be a downer, but with how slow we are getting information about the game, on top of the fact that it’s already JUNE and we still don’t even have an idea of a release date, it’s way more than optimistic to expect in as little as 3 months they will get through all these minuscule previews, announce a release date, and then ship the game.

If HOT drops this year I will honestly be shocked, albeit happily.

Actually we have the clarity of hindsight going.

“On 23 January 2012, ArenaNet announced that Guild Wars 2 would launch by the end of that year, following beta tests throughout March and April.³ On 28 June, ArenaNet announced that the game would launch on 28 August 2012.”
