Since A.net announced Guild Wars 2? 1.5 years now? And still nothing?

Someone explain to me how A.net plans to actually keep some of their fans for GW2.

Also, zelda games as well as a lot of other franchises come out with gaps of sometimes 3 or more years, they still manage to keep their fans.

Slow work is terrible too, bud.

Well, it's been almost a year since Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and we haven't heard word one from Valve about Episode 3's progress. Keep in mind this is for episodic content, not a full game, so this kind of behavior isn't new. I'm hoping Anet will release something soon to pique our interest.

Zelda games are my favorite VG franchise, and although there are gaps, I still come back to play them. In fact, I hardly notice the gaps. I'm hoping GWs is the same way. I've been playing for almost 2 years now (took a 6 month break though) and there's still things I haven't done. I'm hoping that these things will keep me entertained till GW2. If not, I'll still come back to GW2 when it comes out because I have faith in GWs

It would be nice to get more info since they really haven't given us all that much info... I'm starting to lean away from buying GW2. Probably will wait for someone I know to buy it and then listen to their recommendation.

either way i don't care really. maybe i'll go play some other game and when anet starts releasing info on gw2 i'll read it. and then when the game comes out ill buy it. i know, who does that right? me.

also, is this thread supposed to have some purpose other than giving people a place to whine and be impatient?
if so i missed it

At this current point Guild Wars 2 is technically vaporware. Sure they say they're making it, but there's absolutely no proof, not even one piece of concept art.Even after 1 and a half years. Nothing.

If they plan on releasing after Diablo 3,that's a terrible mistake.

My bandage-wrap off to you. Perhaps I should start looking at 'g4am3r n3wz' sites instead of looking for official sources.

Guess what people?
You know that super hyped Diablo 3 that's supposed to be coming out?

Guess how many years That's been in development!
...1?
...2?
lol, NO!

Try 3 and they only recently announced it.

Development on Diablo III began some time in 2005 when Blizzard North was still in operation. The original artistic design differed from that shown at Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2008 demonstration...



Development on Guild Wars 2 probably started sometime shortly after EotN, which came out on August 31, 2007.
So at most, GW2 has been in development for a year now.
Quit asking for a miracle or a shity game and you'll be lucky if we get this in 2010.

Only, rather a few months.

This is the problem with fanboys, you give them something good and then they want more, and when you take to long to give it to them they start bitching at you. A-net's problem was that they announced it when they announced EotN. Just sit back and relax and wait for the game. Do you want it now or do you want it good?

Seriously some of you act like your life revolves around this game, while waiting for Guild Wars 2 play something else, they're only about a million other games out there. Seriously A-net practically gave you a new game every year and you complained about all of them, let them take their time on this one so maybe you guys won't complain.

I beleive there has been concept art in the form of Sylvari, but not much beyond that. I agree that this game is very quickly turning into a phantasm.

Seriously, if you are bored with GW, go play another game and stop QQing about how long it has been since we have heard anything about GW2.

The game will come when it comes. Usually, the more time you spend on something will mean better results.

Patience is a virtue my friends.

So therefore ANet is now obligated to give more info on it because they announced it sooner rather than later?

If they didn't announce it at all people would be wondering what was up. Lose-lose.

I predict some form of alpha test release middle of next year and a full release in april of 2010 so you might just as well go play something else it's still a good almost 2 years away before you get your grubby whinning QQing hands on it.
