Guild Wars 2

Living Story is a success. Your last feature pack was a success. I even liked the way you built up the last feature pack.

However..

3 weeks? We are only on day 2 and I am bummed that I have to hear about this for almost a month. Any longer than 10 days and I feel like I am being “conditioned” for something I am not going to like. All the while patting yourselves on the back (which I think ArenaNet deserves but this feels like begging).

There is great power in anticipation, there is also a point where the heart grows fungus. If you promise new content every 14 days then you should deliver. If you need more time to make the story amazing promise every 20 days.

I am loving the new content for LS 2nd season but blaming a Feature pack for a break, then taking 21 days to build it up is a hic-cup in the momentum.

I like the new LS – and I like the permanence of it along with skins I can obtain in-game, even though the rng is agonizing.

I was disappointed by the last feature pack more than I was excited by it, especially after all the buildup. And part of that is because of the deafening silence of anet towards players immediately after (my personal qualms were megaservers, townclothes, wardrobes).

Therefore I have decided to partially ignore the buildup to this one and avoid getting excited – unless they put in something genuinely amazing. If anet changes its tune and decides to respond to player grievances and questions after release, I’ll feel a lot better.

But yeah, in short I agree that anet has gone overboard with the hype.

i thought most of the last feature pack was what we needed but my only wish was i wish they would have let us know some of what was coming so we had enough to get minor changes in and change it a bit and thats the biggest part they failed at and i think thats going to happen again with this one. they do overhype(i think they are going to do it again) it too act like it going to be fabolous when its needed or good material. there was minor bugs and problems they might have made better if we could have a bit of feedback in before they released it

My guess would be that Arena.Net still needs time to develop further chapters. I’d imagine that season 2 is complete and ready to air, although some necessary preparations are required, as well as development of the s3 and et.c. Or, a wild thought, of an expansion or bigger feature pack in future, with promised new weapon sets for every class and so on and so forth.
