As silly as this may sound…

Can we have a schedule of when the new content (that is not currently available — Canach events, etc.) will be made available so that we can be sure not to miss out on anything?

Some feedback on how you write this sort of stuff, from the perspective of what it felt to be “someone who’s reading for the first time and wants to see what’s there to do”. Please remember I give feedback because I care.
First of, this should be on the launcher, not just the forum. And not as a link, all of this should be on the launcher.
.

  • Enjoy some story snippets in the newly renovated resort located on Pearl Islet (complete with Asura Gate straight to Lion’s Arch).
    What story snippets? What is it about it that’s so important that I should go check them out right now? (not the backpiece rewards, please, I mean actual story)
  • Explore the six renovated camps scattered across the island, including the brand new camp near Driftglass Springs.
    Why should I? What’s there that will add to the story?
  • Help keep the peace between the Consortium and their new settler employees.
    Why are they upset with each other and why should I go and help keep the peace?
  • Speak with one of the Settler Negotiators for a special map-wide magic find buff or with one of the Consortium Negotiators for a map-wide gold find buff.
    Loot, loot, loot. What’s it go to do with the story? A boost is super nice, but from a story perspective, why should I go and get the boost?
  • Escort lost settlers back to the relative safety of their camps.
  • Stave off enraged wildlife encroaching on the settlers’ new homes.
  • Talk to Researcher Levvi at her research camp and help her discover who’s behind the increase in animal attacks
    These should be added to the points above. Also change “who” to Who or What. You don’t have to spoil it with “who” right away.
  • (…) by participating in a brand new scavenger hunt.
    Mechanics, ugh. Make it about the story. Who cares if it’s brand new. It’s a scavenger hunt. but it’s not about findind easter eggs on the backyard, it’s about facing danger while gathering these samples for research.
  • Earn a new set of achievements themed around helping out and having fun on Southsun. Dedicated players will have an opportunity to earn unique backpacks and titles.
    Remove “themed around”.
    “Set of achievements for those dedicated to helping out …”
    Remove “player” and say “hero” or something. Or don’t specify. This story isn’t about the player doing stuff, it’s about the character doing stuff. It just happens my character needs a player to control it, just like a book’s character needs a reader to take it through the story.

I laughed abit when I’m reading these.

All I can say is, you choose what to do, and if you don’t want to do, don’t do it.
Go figure and explore about those before you ask why because you’ll eventually figure out the answer yourself.

Let’s repeat your style of questioning:
Why are you playing GW2?

I think that topic would be useful to keep track of event.

I wasn’t able to witness all of them. I wouldn’t even aware of Cancha involvement if not for that discussion.

Will achievements be available through the Last Stand release or do we have to finish them up now?

ref: “The goggles do nothing”
Yes they do, while the rest of you is “flame broiled” your eyes remain perfect———so you can watch yourself become THE flaming ember!!
