So can something, like, happen?

So the anniversary festivities were standard ones, the War In Kryta thing is a bit of a non-event and the whole skill situation (no idea what to call it anymore) is on hold. Soooo anyway ETA's for actual new stuff?

Yeah I'd like to know when's some actual stuff gonna start happening, specifically the War on Kryta events... As much as the side lore is fun to watch develop, it's been a month and a half now.

Linsey said its going to take about another month for them to implement whatever content they have planned. I heard this from the podcast.

Maybe a sweepstake - gw2 first or WiK first.
Its a good question you ask and i was surprised at the 5th birthday even how dull it was compared to 4th yr.
Pets are nothing really to get excited over - think anet was struggling for ideas.
Content ? ive never seen or heard of a "viral advertising" before and if you go by anets example ( which i did ) i lost interest easily.
It seems anet wants to get ppl interested and buzzing then forget to deliver the goods , gw2 is a gd example , if anet kept quiet about gw2 instead of saying its going to be released xx date ( keeps changing ) almost 2 yrs ago then im sure people would be more interested when they say later on - gw2 is coming.
Anet should give an indication of when new WIK stuff is being let loose - maybe not an exact time but say something to hint at - white mantle peace keepers heading east in force and expected to arrive at xxx on xx/xx/2010 and between that date they work thru different areas making their way there.
Public would be happy as they know somethings happening and many who enjoy running around looking for nick etc would also have fun finding and reporting.

It's supposed to be part of their "Upgrade" called "Guild Wars Beyond".

They have most of their resources focused on Guild Wars 2..So it may take a while.

If you know the situation of Tyria around GW2, you know that the shining blade wins that war with their new capital in Divinity's Reach?

I understand they're working on gw2 , but seriously , how many updates did we get since eotn release . I can only thing of 2 big ones : 4th birthday with nicholas , zquests + removal of Hb/TA with implement of Codex ( which was a complete fiasco ) .

So , although i said , i understand they have much work , but if trimestrial updates they promised turn to update " when its done " , like each 7 months ( with random 4 skills nerfed sometimes ) ........

Anyway , many people were disapointed because they expected that war in kryta event during the 5th birthday , and now , we hear that it's delayed of 1 month . So , this has to be good , not like 3 quests and thats it , and better than what they did like codex ( although it's hard to do worse )

Just be patient, I'm sure the Live Crew will soon be adding more bugs.

anet has the history of this kind of thing.....just look back....6 months for new chapter, took them 1 year to get the first one.....etc....it has ALWAYS been this way, and it aint gonna change any time soon (so get used to it if you decide to play gw2 as well).

it will happen 'soon' (thats what Regina said in another thread when I asked about stuff)....now your time line for soon---wellllllllllll lets just hope its not geological (then it could be eons before the next update!)

A-Net has stated that the War in Kryta thingie will be unfolding over the next several months. It's not linked to the 5th year anniversary, people just assumed that.

Wow, that's just pathetic.

I guess everyone abandon ship Zzz

Yeah, spreading it out over a long period of time sounds really cool in concept. In practice though, they're only letting so little content trickle out each day that it's not really amounting to anything much to me. It didn't really help either that Linsey got sick and that updates had to be pushed back on account of that.

This anniversary didn't really have that much added to the game in comparison to last year, which is probably the biggest disappointment.

Places said the war in Kryta was gonna happen around the anniversary. instead we got an elementalist . But yeah i hope the war in Kryta stuff actually happens soon. it's beginning to become a tad drawn-out.

ORLY?They told us a while back they have 2 separate teams. Plus anyone aying 'patience', we have all been patient and would just like some consistency and information. For once.

With most thing in life, expect nothing, be surprised when something does appear

/me remembers them saying bi-monthly skill updates instead of monthly....

missed out on that one....

/me remembers 5 anniversary amazingness promised...

ssdd

/me remembers how much we all have loved this game.....

they still keep getting our micro transactions though =\

gw1 microtransactions =/ gw2 development. That isnt the business model these companies operate on. But they are selling a snipe hunt lately it seems

This.

I play occasionally and am surprised when something new gets released, because I don't spend every waking moment on Guru looking for the next little bit of content. If you get bored, get another game, and come back to GW on occasion to see if anything new happened.

I was really expecting something cause it's my first gw anniversary and, knowing what the previous year update was, I was kinda in a thrill for that to repeat at my presence. Also, I bought tyhe game just after they stopped giving free extra storage slots and was expecting some gift.
And instead what we got for gw1 was anticipations of gw2...do they know not everyone lives on the more-gw2revelations-breathing?
Really, I hope it's not a messagge to make us aunderstand "now there's gw2, move on and stop waiting something for gw1, that one is history already".

Cool, nice pic of future Divinity's Reach. and I laughed at the whole chinatown district.

sorry, I don't live in Cuba. I live in a land where there is competition, where things change rapidly and staying ahead of the curve is the difference between innovation and layoffs. This can both be said of the place I work at and the game developers I choose to patronize.
