Guild Wars 2

there s barely nothing important showed off about S2 these days and only 1 day left til release.i believe there r 2 ways to explain why anet keep it a secret.1st come to my mind is there merely nothing great about S2 and they dont want us to know .and another reason maybe its too great so keep it a secret to surprise us.which 1 do u believe?

I dont believe in extreme polar ends, there is a lot of middle ground in your question. I believe we are going to have a great season – not horrible but also not spectacular – and they are just keeping quite to build anticipation. I remember one dev saying somewhere that one of the greatest things they have seen so far is the amazing speculation the forum community has givin. TBO that has been real fun, a good week before a patch hits, the forums are alive with discussion on where the story is possibly going. That is why they havent said anything, they want to see if we guess right, and if not the cool ideas some people have on where it might go.

I choose to believe the best util they give me a reason to think otherwise.

Probably a bit naive on my part but I don’t want to just assume the worst on a game I’ve sent so much time in.

They’ve said before that from now on they’re going to be limiting the teasers and previews before the actual patch to help prevent spoilers and such.

Season 1 had a lot of releases that got overhyped by A.Net. Maybe they learned their lesson

ANet seems more focused on narrative, it’s probably why we have fewer gameplay mechanic updates compared to narrative / content updates. Just a bit sad that S1 wasn’t well liked (although I’ll still sure that the hate-band-wagon is partly to blame). So all hope for the best for S2.

I believe they know that every player would expect some good new stuff every patch.
And S2 is a particularly big one, so I don’t believe they dare introducing nothing great. Otherwise we’ll all be very disappointed, as they already know….
