Guild Wars 2

Title pretty much says it all. It seems like once a month releases until November 4th. Has the every two weeks model been abandoned? Or partially abandoned?

No, it’s working around Halloween’s “Blood and Madness”.

I hope it’s not exactly the same as last years. Preferred year ones Halloween event and last year mad me think they were going to change it up every year.

The update system appears to have gone from continuous biweekly to a bit less frequently as ArenaNet realized they couldn’t keep up with such a heavy routine. Though the appearance of Halloween likely alters the schedule a bit, but it seems to be 4 biweekly LW updates, 4 week break before feature batch update, 8 week break before repeat (may be shorter next time because Halloween).

As I saw pointed out elsewhere, it seems that ArenaNet has settled for “one new thing happening in the game at any given time.” This includes WvW tournament seasons and holidays as well as the LW content and feature batch.

So if you’re not into holidays or WvW for the next two months, you’re stuck with old content.

Four LS every 6 months by the time the next LS episode comes out.

my problem isnt the pace but its the pace they set themselves then changing it a better place but with no word about why. i said when they started the 2 week process i felt it was too ambitious

I’d still like them to add more horizontal progression. A Sigil and Rune here and there, 2 skills and three new traits since launch is a bit slow. 2 years in and its still Zerker/Scholar Stack with the exception of a few events it seems. I hope with the longer breaks and more focus on feature patches they can bring some cool stuff to the table until then … ZERKER BARBIE!!!

Longer breaks? from what break, they just ended in very start of every 2w’update. For example between feature packs there are long break for sure, and how players tends to assume it? It isn’t about time they need. It is about their wonderful sequnce they do something for those players and others are waiting and then reverse, and again again again. It’s question: are they going to continue it? (bad imo) or try to please all types of players. Until then …
