Guild Wars 2

In the past of Season 1, there was some overlap in the story lines, such as when the story of one section continued past during the next two weeks as the sequel went on. I would personally love this, as I cannot[and actually cannot] be there for one of the two weeks and still want to play the content as it is out. Thus, the question is, will this happen in Season 2?

The journal helps even if I miss it, but it’s fun being part of the hype and up to date.

Yes, some releases will be 4 weeks, rather than 2 weeks. You can hear the Developers speak about Season Two here: http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2/c/4456907

When do they talk about season 2 in that vid? Don’t really want to watch the entire thing.

The entire video is on the Journal and Season Two (except a bit about making Season One replayable some day). It’s only 26 minutes.

Ok, I am watching it again, because it is so good, and they speak about release windows at about 7:45.

Oh, when i clicked the link I ended up on the balance philosophy stream. That clears it up. I saw that story jounal vid but I don’t recall them saying 4 weeks as the length of a LS episode. I recall them saying it could be longer then 2 weeks but not 4 weeks specifically. 4 weeks also seems quite long for an episode. I guess it depends on how extensive the episode is but I would be surprise if we get an episode that lasts 4 weeks.

I suppose they could do 3-week ones, but they’ve usually been multiples of 2 in the past, it seems.

I kinda feel the episode content would have to be quite extensive to warrant a 4 weeks window.

Well, the releases aren’t all just Journal entries. They said some would be Open World content, as well, such as Marionette or Battle for LA. I don’t see why those kind of releases can’t be 4 weeks, but we shall see. No one knows what it will be like, right now, except the Devs. =)

A new (big) map with a lot of stuff to do: events, vista’s, skill points, POI and an extensive story episode could warrant a 4 weeks window. But you already know now, that people will complain about a 4 weeks window like some are doing now.

As opposed to all those that complained about the 2-week window. Lol. Doesn’t matter how short or long the time between releases, some will have issues. =)
