Fansites shouldn't be beating you to the punch on this, ANet. I'm sure this wasn't a leak, persay, and it's not like it's a surprise that GW is reaching its sixth anniversary around this time, so I see no reason for official notices on the blog, website, or in-game to have been nonexistent up until now. |

The issue is that in the past, events like these would muster a response from ANet about a week in advance in the form of a notice on the front page of the official website and in-game. Maybe they wouldn't tell us everything new that was set to be in the update or come out with the festival, but they did inform players that it was happening, and it did make it seem like a big deal.
Now, ANet is relatively silent. The biggest burst of information about today's update came first from fansites instead of official word-of-mouth, and it came today. I am aware that Stéphane and Stumme have both made mentions of the anniversary celebration starting today on this forum in the past week, but why was it done like that (as a response to the question being posed, by the way) instead of having the official site and in-game announcements decked out as was usual? It just seems like a really bad time to be neglecting something like this.

I couldn't care less for the Galrath quest getting a hard mode version. Or well, if the reward is good enough I'll consider doing it.
Reformed
So, the first hard mode quest is slated to be Villainy of Galrath. Might I ask then, what was stopping you from toggling hard mode and doing this quest versus a hard-mode-quest? Any bets on whether this will allow you to do both or is it as redundant as it sounds...

I hate to admit it, but the only character I own that has Razah is my paragon. I think I'm going to change Razah to a paragon for more shouting! Now I need to get Hayda to complete the team.
Mesmers Are Bad
This seems like a really cool update to me, even though there aren't going to be sixth year minis. I am hopeful that we'll actually get some people to group up and check out all the new stuff, and the fact that razah is a free merc is pretty awesome.
Now all we need is for somebody to shine the Karate Jesus signal into the sky over texas.

Apparently the leak was on purpose, but it's wierd to read it on Guru first. I thought it was a trolling at first.

Looks like no event today and GW2 released in 2017. Anet sure has got punctuality nailed down pat.

2) That's not an option for players who already completed it long ago, in NM.
3) Repeatable? Maybe...

We are still waiting for an update
and none have a clue when it actually will come. Normally it would have come 39 minutes ago, if we consider the normal update hours 
Order of Nature
Oh golly. Of course they put everything on sale for 50%. Blimey me, just bought a character slot because I was able to finally. Oh the woe is I... Maybe I'll buy another one...
cosyfiep
heck I had to read the spanish site info to find out when this even was going to END....
AT LEAST the starting and ending should have been prior knowledge enough to get SOMETHING up ingame, etc.

On an unrelated note, I just read the lore behind the Flux. I laughed. Nice to see how these unresloved plot elements always seem to show up in the most unexpeted places.
I will be especially intrigued if the Flux ends up in DA and RBR, somehow. Nevermind, that won't happen. I forgot, ANet doesn't think Gamer arenas are PvP.

just asked stephane if the build will come soon ... he said to wait a bit more 
Dzjudz
No new build yet though.
Sir Cusfreak
My feelings about Stumme-era GW are definitely better today...challenging content finally? glad to hear it. Hell, non-solo content finally? great!
Fixing the in-store advantage mercs provided is a big one. THIS is definitely the right direction. Theres an awful lot of terrible decisions this live team has made that I *hate*. But, this does at least ease that some.
I can't say I really like the no-mini decision; not what I would have chosen, cause it kinda screws the poeple still working on HoMs, and is just a tradition that a lot of people looked forward to - but its not one of the things I would say is awful. It's ok.
Good job (mostly), and Happy Birthday.
(Now remove the damn Kath Hammer BS and the approval scale could move all the way over to the favorable side...mostly)

Come on, already. "People" do, in fact, complete quests. "People" do, in fact, do content for reasons other than farming. "People" do, in fact, do content in NM, and then go back and play in HM, and it is for those "people" that HM quests would actually be appealing.

Do you also believe that most players didn't do one of the most famous quests in the game, just so they could redo it in a harder difficulty mode that was released years after said quest?

Well, at least Razah basically becoming a free "Mercenary" (from a gameplay point of view) will be one less thing for the boo hoo in-game store advantage people to whine about.
