Guild Wars 2

Yes, we have tried it internally. I was not part of that prototyping, sorry I left that out.

The hint was the Ready Up schedule, which should tell you a lot if you pay close attention to it.

With the weekly RU schedule going on from next week til April 4th, which they mentioned will include a lot of talk about what’s going to be happening come feature build, it’s not a hard thing to conclude that the feature build will likely launch April 8th (Tuesday). I’d say there’s a small chance it’s going to be April 15th, but with Allie’s comment in the other topic this seems pretty much confirmed for me. Yay!

Great 2 weeks into a WvW 9 week tournament we are going to after re-equip all our WvW characters. That will shake thing up abit…commence the QQ’ing now (in the WvW section of the forum).

I think people in the WvW sections would be happy with any shake up, even in the middle of a “tourney”.

You mean the tourny where the server with the most 24/7 coverage wins? Sounds thrilling. So much skill in those blobs.

You do realize that this quote is from a thread about CTF? And the hinting she is referring to is not the release of the game modes, or the feature build at all, but what game mode they could be working on.

I had thought about the 8th, but it does not correspond to the biweekly update.
What I think is more realistic is
18th March : remove glory – maintenance build
1st April : SAB world 3 if ready, nothing otherwise
15th April : feature build

It’s a bit surprising since the build would not hit right after the last of the 3 RU but meh … or maybe nothing on the 1st April and come back on the 8th … who knows …
I still think it will be the 15th

Lol where did you get that idea from? She said the hint was not about the game mode but about the schedule thus it is about when the feature build will be released.

I’ll be an old man by then

This. I thought it wasn’t about CTF, but about the feature build release.

They specificaly mentioned that when they were further along with ANYTHING (I think the exact words are "when sufficient progress has been made) they would release information about it.

In the past they’ve usually give us a 3-6 month timeframe to expect it AFTER they’ve released information on it (see: leaderboards, solo Q, balance updates, PAX).

I think it’s safe to say we shouldn’t expect to get anything for quite a while considering they have not given us any solid information regarding new game modes or the reward system.

My hunch is that we’ll get the next feature build in August/October based on them hyping up the talk about telling us info on the future updates, but not actually giving us info on the future updates. They’ll probably announce what’s coming in the next few weeks via the RU’s like Allie said, and then we’ll get a more solid time frame which will be 3-6 months from when they release that info.

I do not think you are correct on August/October. That said, I do agree with your 3-6 months. They originally announced the rune/sigil changes in January. So, if we say 3-4 months that puts us in the April/May timeframe. Given that they are removing rewards from PvP as of this Tuesday, they cannot wait too long to introduce a new system.

I fully expect they feature patch will come in late April or May. Just my opinion of course.
