Guild Wars 2

i get anet is busy with heart of thorns but please, could we get some new content before the release? the last time was in january. three months ago! within these last 2,5+ years i’ve gotten used to having some new content to play every month or so. but now? all i have to play is personal story (for the sixth time), map completion (for fifth time) and playing living story once again from the start. or wait, i haven’t got the 5000 kills with shield yet! i can go and grind it. sorry but no thanks. there’s no more monthlies to do too. nowadays playing gw2 is like: go to gw2 wiki, see that there’s no new updates, go to gw2 page, check the new heart of thorns content, close server, turn off the computer.

newer players may have content which they have yet to play but please remember us older players too! sad to say but if there’s no new content to play i’ll probably just put my playing on hiatus until heart of thorns. if i have interest to restart then. keeping on playing for the sake of grinding money for new skins is not for me.

This is basically standard when it comes to MMOs.
When a company is getting close to release an expansion, other content releases are not really released.
Just look at WoW. There was about a year between the last content patch and the launch of the latest expansion. And they forces you to pay each month if you want to be able to even play.

There are loads of stuff that you probably haven’t done in the game. And even if you are not interested in anything of that, why not take a break? The game will still be here when you come back. You don’t have to play it every day.

the thing is they used to patch every month. now with new release coming who-knows-when they no longer hold interest in releasing content before. people get bored and quit, you know?

Or people accept reality and understand that it is simply not feasible for a company of ArenaNets size to keep releasing stuff every 2 weeks while working on an expansion, if they want the expansion out in a timely manner.

It is also worth pointing out that those of us that preferred the Living Story model warned everyone demanding an expansion about this very thing.

And yes, some people will lose interest. But that happens in every single game ever. Nothing is stopping anyone from taking a break and come back when the expansion launches and so on.

And as said: The vast majority of other MMOs don’t release stuff nearly as often as Guild Wars 2 did, and especially not around expansion time.

They wont just release content on request. It takes months of work and resource allocation, which i doubt is unavailable right now.

I’m still holding out for some festival maybe on Tuesday which is also the 10th anniversary of GW. They could cram a few old festivals in together just to celebrate everything great about the game.

We wont see any other content beyond features prior to HoT though and that is as would be expected

or turn on sab XD
