Guild Wars 2

Is there any posbility to see the patch notes before the patch is released?

As far as i’ve been told, this patch should have been released in February, but due to tests it’s been delayed to March. Also, it’s suposed to be a huge patch for WvW, which should include a lot of changes.

Knowing them in detail before the release date could be a good option to prepare ourselves for the upcoming new startegies. Or is the expectation higher than what the patch actually brings and there will be no such a big change more than what we already know about the culling issue and the progression system (which by the way is unkown what it will bring in details)?

Patch notes are always released after the patch goes live.

Don’t hold your breath. This patch is most likely gonna be some fluff to get the PvErs into WvW. Anet has consistently underdelivered since day one, and the old excuse that everything is complicated and difficult, kinda falls short when its their job to develop games.
So don’t expect the patch to revolutionize WvW. Keep playing the game with your guild and friends. That is what makes it fun, not Anet.

EDIT: Also, imo, the less they touch the game the better. Anet seems to have a different idea of what is awesome and cool compared to the players. So if they could just stop digging deeper, it would be cool.

Considering their idea of WvW leader boards is to regurgitate what they already provide…. not sure having high expectations is in your best interest. Or how about the fact that its taken 6+ months to finally get more gear on wvw badge vendors, like that is massively complicated.

Like most I expect a zerg friendly progression system with a few fluff abilities without much variety.

Culling will be gone though, so thats a positive.

Not true.
Patch notes are ususally released more or less 1 hour before the patch … enough time to do market speculation.

Yeah, your right. It is usually really close to the patch going live. I miswrote.

the game is free why complain its the best of all the free games

The best time to make money off of the TP is that 1 hour time between the release of the patch notes, and right before the game gets updated. Gobble up all the goodies that people will want, then resell for outrageous markups.

No it isn’t. Just because you don’t pay a subscription fee, we still paid $60.
