Terter.4125 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 We had Q2 and Q3 roadmaps and we've entered Q4 but still no roadmap. How can we get excited for the future of the game if there's no roadmap ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I find the mystery of what could happen in the future to be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortifera.6138 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I don’t think they get paid for giving us roadmaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Do we really need a Q4 roadmap? At best it will have a single release in November. When the game launched in China (May 2014) there were no updates around it either, so maybe the Steam release requires similar attention? Wait for a Q1 roadmap and enjoy the festivals.

Blocki.4931 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 With the release of the fractal we barely checked off the last thing from Q3, just wait another week or two and we'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Here you go: Shadow of the Mad King, November Release (Icebrood Saga-related, likely, with VO), Wintersday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday.7864 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 They won't do anything huge this quarter due to the Steam release and holidays thereafter. You'll get the usual festivals and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coso.9173 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 if we got q1,2,3 roadmaps I don't see why not having one for q4. they should try to be consistent. even if the road map is only haloween, 1 episode and then xmas stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galmac.4680 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 and be able to speake once to Bangar in Q4. :p But yes, a new part of the LS should be there, together with the festivals and perhaps some balance patch inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum.6983 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 It'd be nice to have a Roadmap, Even if Just for consistency purposes. I'm sure they know what they have planned. We can all guess that this month is only Halloween and December will be just for Wintersday, so there's a bit of room in November for some kind of release but until there's confirmation it's all just speculation.

Iirc gw2 in china died, i think adding a roadmap along the release shows investment from the devs (like the expac reveal also did). Also, some ppl just dont care about doing the same festivals for the 2nd/8th time in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. [Tencent to distribute GW2 via WeGame](https://www.altchar.com/game-news/tencent-to-distribute-guild-wars-2-on-wegame-in-china-adz2E0n9TSlh) Took me under 5m of Googling...

Yay, now the Cantha empire will now only be painted as the best place ever. The xenophobia lore will be sweep under the rug. It is sad that Cantha will longer be an authoritarian hellscape it was meant to be because of the authoritarian CCP. I hope anet will have the stones to stay consistent with the winds of change lore, even if it might run afoul with Chinese censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we get excited for the future of the game if there's no roadmap ? Halloween event. New story chapter. Wintersday event. Class balance patch probably this month. You expect more?

DaFishBob.6518 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I do wonder if perhaps they might instead re-release episodes 3 and 4 with VA work done some time in Q4 instead of a new episode release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but the task of adding voice work to a couple of episodes doesn't require the efforts of the team of artists, programmers and other developers that creating a LS episode does. Those developers will have been working on the next episode already. Adding the voice work to the previous episodes should occur alongside a future release or during a festival. It's already looking like there will be a 3-4 month gap between the episodes delaying the next episode any more would be a terrible idea, IMO.

It's already looking like there will be a 3-4 month gap between the episodes delaying the next episode any more would be a terrible idea, IMO. But surely Anet is aware of a constituent of players that have chosen not to play these last couple of episodes due to a lack of VA work. It may be a reasonable decision then to schedule a re-release of those episodes to help ensure a healthy population exists on that map instead of the population being split between Drizzlewood Coast and the new map. Coinciding a re-release with the Steam release may also be a way to help promote the game by offering a full map instead of half, and doing so with material they already had prepared.
