Oldirtbeard.9834 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Who Else Is Looking Forward to an Announcement Regarding LWS4E2 Tomorrow? Tomorrow is February 20th which happens to 12 weeks since the release of Daybreak. Optimistically speaking I'm expecting a trailer for Episode 2 of the Living World. Realistically I'm expecting an official statement addressing the delay of the release of the episode in question, perhaps even offering up an ETA. The pessimistic side of me however is expecting an announcement stating that Living World releases will become quarterly releases because of the depth and size of the Open World patches since Instan is the Largest LW Map ever released and had to be crafted to encourage the use of all 5 mounts, the last Episode's story was written to the highest quality and felt like an Expansion Act in length (meaning how Path of Fire had 3 beefy Acts), will be triple releases from now on to offer up a Raid Wing and Fractal. How ever after 12 weeks I might question Arenanet's judgement if they say nothing at all, I mean we as a customer base did just reward them with their most profitable financial quarter in years so they should theoretically have no shortage of financial resources. PS the longer the wait the higher the stakes they face for quality and quantity expected, so I have no doubt this upcoming Episode will exceed expectations just like Daybreak did for many of us. Either way thank you for producing polished content patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bast.7253 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I’ll be surprised if we don’t get a trailer tomorrow. Doesn’t lunar end tomorrow or is that next week? It does feel like forever though. I’ve almost forgot what happened in the story, almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldirtbeard.9834 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 That's helpful, I never know when these holidays run because the only one that remotely seems fun to me is Halloween because of the Labyrinth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercury ranique.2170 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 They said to offer a steady pace. When it comes to software development, you can always hit some bugs, even if the blocking kind. Keep in mind that while such a bug can block the release, it doesn’t halt the vast majority of the team to move along. I think we are not entitled in any comment or explaination if this is the case. Only when they are really causing delay in the overall pace they should (e.g. if they have sent e2 to the bin as it was utterly garbage and started over). In sort, the overall statement from arenanet is true. It is ready to be ready. We might have an announcement tomorrow We might hear nothing We might get an explaination We might actually get E2 as it is simply ready and there is no reason to delay it further by announcements. In short. Be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilk.2965 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Do you still believe that the development of an episode begins when the previous one is launched? lol. It's been months since the S4E2 finished its development. Tomorrow we will have the trailer and the 27th release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way thank you for producing polished content patches. Good news for you, there's no reason to explain about a delay in release because there is no delay in release. Your math is off by two entire weeks, LWS4E1 was release on the 28th of November, ArenaNet was shut down between December 24 and January 8, thereby removing those weeks from the release cadence calendar(you could technically count them, but since they aren't actually working I wouldn't). If you want to use that basis then the actual 3 month date would be March 6th, however I do realize a lot of people won't buy this argument .

TheOrlyFactor.8341 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Going by the story we got from Episode 1, no. I expect more of the same attempts at killing off characters I like and Anet trying to pass it off as A+++ "storytelling". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient. BUGS.. never stopped them releasing anything before :) Not since pre LWS1 has an expansion, patch or minor update been pushed through that didn't have some kind of bug ridden element requiring a constant stream of band aids as a follow up. That said though their record of pushing content through, good or indifferent is pretty good without many delays at all from the plan.. some yes but nothing earth shattering, compared to other MMO's I have frequented over the years. As for getting some form of announcement, trailer etc.. I decline to jump on the hype trains so's not to be disappointed if something get pushed out there or not.. unexpected news always goes down nicer for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient. The gave us a time period of 3 months tops its expected that if they are to delay it they will anounce it. Lack of communication is the last thing that should happen.

Windu The Forbidden One.60 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Well so much for the 2-3 month release schedule, unless they somehow release both the trailer and the next episode in the coming 8 days (which are usually a week apart).
