the pacing of this content is really ill conceived. that dialog was a while ago. i am stoked we are getting content at all, but i would think the dialog with gwen and the others in the HoM, post BLA, should have happened when the next content is given to us. i totally forgot already what that whole conversation was about.

Does get you curious though. I mean, Gwen was always so mean to Thackery and treated him badly. So I wouldn't doubt him running off with Langmar.

I disagree, Jazilla. That last convo let us know where we'd be going with the story next, while we finished chewing on the obvious finale of this part and they get the next part ready.
If you forget what they said, there's the wiki to help.

i too cant wait to see whats next. and they basically said she was the next captian and they cant find thackery but they think the charr have him.

Maybe Thackery saved all that stuff we gave him for that picnic, since Gwen didn't take it.

Meh, it's Anet, what did we expect? The derv update isn't even here yet. I sincerely doubt they'll be able to get anything they want to finish done before GW2.

the finale for WiK wasn't more than a few weeks before GamesCon, and the period in between was spent getting ready for GC
anyway what I said is the truth, there won't be any GW:B activity until after PAX

And I have a hard time understanding why the Live Team would need to prepare for GamesCon or PAX. Outside of the CR team, they're not supposed to work on GW2, or at least......that's what we've been told a thousand times.

I'll bet you that Thackeray hobbled his broken ass over to his garden to lick his wounds and hope to die.
That way there will be some super cheesy dialog where you have to bring Gwen to him on a "hunch" at where they saw him and he'll have some long-winded chat with her about how everything is there for her and its a representation of his love and blah blah blah...
She'll go all "NOOOOOO!!!" Rain will start to fall, very dramatic, Thackeray passes out, she vows to love him forever (Change of heart???) and... yeah.
Hm. Oh well, zzz. I'm not looking forward to it, been too disappointed with WiK anyway.

can I stop defending Live Team now? Really this is tiring, let's move on people and accept the facts.

Q.Qing about the derv update doesn't make you appear smarter, if that is what you were going for. Let's just let them do there thing so they can get gw2 to us as soon as possible.

So, the live team consists of like 4 people? and GW2 has like 100+?
I dont understand Anets priorities here. All we know about the GW2 release date is that it will be released sometime in 2011(possibly). Adding 4 people to 100, shouldnt make much of a difference. But, if they took 4 people from GW2 and added it to the live team it would only be roughly a 4% reduction for GW2, so at maximum(if GW2 was a year away) it would only delay the release date by 2 weeks(not very long). On the flip side, the live team would get updates out for GW1 twice as fast, turning 6mo into 3mo.
Why does this concern me? Because I love GW1 and I'm sure Ill love GW2. I just want something GW related inbetween the long wait for GW2. And its been proven that word of mouth is the most effective advertising mechanism. So, if they want GW2 to be successful they should keep GW1 players happy with content and updates./endrant
OT..
Where did Thackery go? It rhymes with Ebonhawke. I think thats where his secret garden is.

I'd love to see Ebonhawke in GW1, that would be cool as hell.

for some really weird reason i keep thinking that thackery somehow got into cantha(i mean they did say the new GW:B content would be there right?) and hes somehow gonan mess something up that will make us do some very long winded dialouges and some quests that are sure to make consets incredibly useful .
eh but yea the whole gwen thackary love thing.. so funny

| In Cantha, the successor of emperor Kisu defeated the Kurzick and Luxon factions and reunited Cantha under one banner. Cantha then became much more isolationist; all non-human races were pushed out and the borders fortified. With the elder dragon's undead corsair fleet disrupting travel, there has been no contact with mainland Canthans for a generation. |
Iuris
Well, problem is, the Emperor that does all the unifying is a descendant of the current one. So, I doubt we'll be seeing the unification. Rather, I expect we'll see something that explains why the war between the Luxons and Kurzicks is no longer needed by the empire, so they finally decide to gobble them up.
I expect we'll see more inter-racial tension, probably a rekindling of the Tengu wars, leading to the emperor deciding it's time the Kurzicks and Luxons were brought to heel...

The pacing in the Lord of the Rings movies was super weird too. A year between entering Mordor and, what, entering Mordor more? And the Harry Potter movies. And the Narnia movies. And the Matrix movies. And any other canonically continuous series. It's part of willing suspension of disbelief.

The real analogy is : if it takes 1 person to build a building in 10 months, can 10 persons build it in 1 month ?

If you prefer a better analogy, imagine building a house, instead. Doubling the number of workers will not double the speed with which the house is built, because there are time and sequence dependecies in various stages of the job. There are tasks on which you can expect diminishing returns as you add more workers. You can't put up framing until the foundation is ready, and concrete takes time to cure. You can't start installing wiring until there are walls in which to install it. Cramming 50 more plumbers into a bathroom will not get the toilet installed any faster.

Back on topic. Langmar... enough said
Thackery i would like to get a mission or something where you beat the crap out of charr/bandits/grawls to take him back and then some cut-scene with Gwen but i think it's out of the question. As long as we get something it's better than leaving it like this

Also, I don't think he was attempting to provide a mathematical formula for workforce variance. I think it was more of a guesstimate.
Soooo....yea...while doubling the size of the live team would not exactly double the time for updates, it should push them out considerably faster.

You don't run off when your are courting a tsundere, you ALWAYS want the tsundere.
They are INCREDIBLE on the bed.
