All the same, the halcyon days of old felt more urgent and vibrant, because things changed so quickly (quick! or you might miss out on fighting a particular foe, plus earning rewards, plus the AP). > > > > Besides that, as other posters reminded us above, humans are just naturally impatient.

But being impatient is no excuse for straight out claiming you are being deceived and ANet are liars, which is what the poster did. That's just being melodramatic, or not paying attention to what's actually going on. Both aren't exactly stable foundations for any claim to stand on. > Of course not; the OP was out of line in the originating post. They did admit that later on, that they went overboard, in an apology that was at least as good as an official one we saw in these very forums last week. Regardless, I was responding in good faith to the statement "how can anyone say that there's a content drought" — a remark that isn't specific to the OP's impatience. For example, whether it's true or not, it feels to me like there's a lot less content now than in the first 12 months after launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone can say that not even 8 weeks after an expansion release is beyond me. It's a statement that is not based on cold, hard facts but rather a feeling. I don't know how long you've been playing GW2, but remember the release of HoT and the subsequent LS3 chapter 1 release? I'll state it then. We are in a content drought. I have done literally everything i can with what minuscule content came with PoF. This includes replaying the story 4 times. Unlocking all elite specs and doing the zone wide achievements and gathering stuff. There is nothing more for me and others to do at this point and it's not because we rushed. It's because this expansion has very little replay value thus the drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 They said something like 3-5 months after launch day of the expansion, five if there are any minor unexpected issues with PoF launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see in time if I am wrong. > > > > Beginning with season three, the game has been moving in an imperfect two month cadence. The fastest things ever happen is once/month. September saw PoF released. October is the Halloween festival. November had a major balance patch and gem store update. December will be Winter's day. At this point, the game will try to return to a 2-month pulse, and January will be an empty month following 2017 holiday content. Season 4 Episode 1 will release in February 2018. March will be empty. April will see the return of SAB. May will be another empty month. Episode 2 will release in June 2018. > > > > The other possibility would be that Episode 1 releases in January. February will be the empty month, and the span of March-April-May will be a period of relatively dense content release including 2 LW episodes and SAB. I think that is the best we can hope for, but I would not count on it. > > > > If they announce Season 4 next week, I will be utterly flabbergasted. > > > > > > If its like this i doubt there will be any players left by the time LS4 begins.. Thats the great thing about this game, you can go away for a while, and come back later, when there are more things to do. As long as you log in once during each part of the season, you will have it to do later. You already paid for the game, it's up to you what to do with it now.

Susy.7529 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Around min 2 he begins a speech in which he crearly states that they want to stick to the usual cadence of 1 story patch/2-3 months. So every date after 22 dec (few days more or less) is absurd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it would take two years to make half baked content, so if we want AT least half baked content we would need to wait anotehr 2 years for more half baked content. But then if time really is no factor, I suppose they could release half baked content tomorrow, and more half baked content the day after that. Time is no factor after all. That would be quite impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashburntoo.7431 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 This is what I hoped for, and I think what was planned all along. PoF wasn't overly demanding for time investment (says the guy who hasn't finished the story yet). When they said "a few months" after PoF release, they meant precisely that. Gotta say, well done Anet! There are many, many players that will welcome LS4 in two, short weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flippin' well won't! It's the same day as the EQ2 expansion and I've already pre-ordered that. Do these people never talk to each other?!
