Boysenberry.1869 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Not sure there's an actual date yet but the Living World is continuing every 2-3 months as scheduled. So, 2-3 months from the release of Path of Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosknight.3041 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 im assuming sometime late-november early-december. hopefully we hear something soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh.4251 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Jan or Feb are my guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Z.4802 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm guessing in January, since we will have Wintersday coming in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 They game continues on schedule, which is 2-3 months. Sept.22 released PoF, so logically Nov.22 to Dec.22 would be the release window. My expectation is that they'll release it 2 weeks before wintersday, or right after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeefa.3915 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 With Halloween now and Wintersday around the corner my guess is January/February. It coooould be in November.... but thats a bit too optimistic I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseofGilead.8907 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 My guess is also January, after Wintersday and the holidays are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientoak.4258 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Nobody knows for sure. My Guildwars prophetic powers say it will be there end of november though B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bast.7253 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I don’t think it will be next year. They released the expansion acknowledging they would be sticking to the same schedule, so I don’t think knowing they would have festivals they would imply that or that the festivals will have an impact on the patch release.

Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 There's three points to calculate. 1) They stated they were aiming to keep the release cadence of 2-3 months between episodes, with the xpac treated like an episode. 2) However, they also mentioned maybe adding a little bit of extra time around the xpac because, y'know, it's an xpac and not just an episode. 3) Festivals. Counting 2 months from PoF puts us at late Nov. Two weeks after end of Halloween is nov 21, practically 2 months to the day. That is earliest possible, but much later in the "2-3 months" span seems less than ideal, as we'd be coming up on Wintersday. (3 months after PoF lands right in days before xmas!). Later than Dec 5 seems highly unlikely, and even that feels *very* close to Wintersday. Allowing for some extra time, I can see a early-mid january launch just fine. **So, my guess is either late Nov or early-mid Jan.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Godrik.5841 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm going with January on ls4 and new raid in nov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Right now the bets seem about equal between 'between festivals' and 'after second festival' I guess theres nothing we can do but wait and see. And experience tells us that festivals arent always enough reason to keep content back. That said, with the festivals i wouldnt mind if they took the extra time to polish S4.1 for better quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Going with late nov, 3 weeks after Halloween maybe. Ep1 and wing 1 of next raid, a new legendary, and so on. Introduction of currency that will persist through the season I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 S4E1 should already be complete if the living world team didn't stop (team 1 finished season 3 about 9 months ago). With Halloween ending on November 7 and Wintersday likely starting on December 12, they would want to release it between them, with November 14 or 21 being their best opportunity. They'd only hold it back further if it wasn't finished, since the longer they wait, the more players they loose. This is the most important time to keep players entertained. The problem with season 3 is that it started far too late to matter, so they completely missed HoT's launch wave. If season 4 also fails to make a difference, they'll likely shift more resources to expansions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaklex.6308 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 It'll release when it releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maizan.8516 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'd wager between Halloween and wintersday fests. Maybe they will push wintersday back a little to give people close to month to do the new LS content. Or maybe not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrlyFactor.8341 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Like others have stated, sometime between late November (22nd) and late December (22nd) if we're going by Anet's attempt to release Living World episodes at 2 - 3 month intervals. I think it would be a huge risk and a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the foot of Anet to try to release Episode 1 next year. While it wouldn't be anything like the content drought we had between HoT and LWS3, it would still be enough of a drought to hurt player retention, in my opinion, and Anet needs all of the player retention they can muster. I really wouldn't bank on holidays helping with retention either. Maybe if Wintersday and Lunar New Year were as popular as Halloween, I could see that. However, I don't think they are. I know I typically skip out on Wintersday and Lunar New Year because I don't find them to be fun and/or engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraKadabra.5278 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 It'd be an even bigger hit if the dropped LWS4E1 during Wintersday though. 22 December is smack dab in the middle of Wintersday, not to mention three days before Christmas. My vote is for before US Thanksgiving (which is 23 November this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
