Guild Wars 2

To be quite honest, “We have plans for it” is equating to a sort of Valve Time-esque thing. The fact that previewing items on the Trade Post is being labeled as a feature for February’s update is a little sad. They have plans for every good idea it seems, but they won’t be implemented for a loooong time. Scavenger hunt, custom maps, new zones (Southsun has potential – but it needs to actually have content in it!), harder content, dungeon revamp, WvW tweaks – several things that have been in the works for quite some time (I realize some much longer than others, the hunt isn’t even in the design phase apparently), but we just have to realize as a playerbase that when Anet says ’It’s coming’, that could easily mean 6+ months from now.

They said back in November/December that the first few updates within 2013 would be like an expansion pack – January added a signpost smashing simulator and a whirlwind dodging event. Hopefully February will make me look stupid! Polymock arenas, new PvP format, new PvE zone, new dungeon, something! The only permanent content they’ve added was FotM – which was amazing for 20 levels, but after that it becomes grinding, tedious, and RNG to get the only reward currently (higher stats and FRACTAL WEAPONS EFF YEAH). I will say though, that Halloween and Christmas were god-tier events with how they were implemented, except maybe Toypocalypse (that was a flop). No comment on Karka Lagfest 2012.
