ArenaNet Staff Mike Zadorojny.7058 Posted February 20, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hey everyone! We are fast approaching the end of our 2-3 month cadence window for Living World Episodes and this morning we were hoping to unveil the Episode 2 Trailer along with the announcement of its release date. However, as we were preparing the episode for launch we discovered issues that we want to take additional time to address, to make sure it lives up to our standards. Once we have nailed down the last few details, started the process for moving the build to Live, and are confident when the episode will launch, we will release the trailer. Thank you for patience and bearing with us as we put the finishing touches on Episode 2. We look forward to playing the next chapter of Living World with all of you once it is released. Thanks!

Ardid.7203 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It says they have the new chapter almost ready. That IS something, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hmmm, last time we had a lengthy release, we got Balthazar and neo-Primordus revealed. Calling it now, reveal of Grenth disguised as Joko, and Scleritethin (aka Selbbub) will finally be revealed. All the while, we fight at the bottom of a whirlpool. (EDIT: Okay, that can actually be pretty damn epic to fight the DSD in a small area of ground surrounded by roiling water that the dragon's head, claws, etc. pops out of to strike at us.) > @"yoni.7015" said: > The statement doesn’t say anything :-1: It actually says three things. 1) they wanted to release trailer today, but won't be 2) they won't be due to newly discovered issues that they're currently fixing 3) trailer and release date will come when issues are fixed.

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 > @"yoni.7015" said: > The statement doesn’t say anything :-1: It said that the episode is close to being ready, that they are fixing up some issues that popped up, and that the trailer will come once those issues are handled. That says plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakazarm.1847 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks for the announcement. This is really reassuring to see, and it's an excellent reason to delay an episode obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ok, NOW I can start to get excited! (I've been keeping myself in check to avoid roller coaster emotions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxjon.1790 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hey Mike i rly appricateThe message But i am wondering. IF The problem gets fixed may we still see IT next week Or should we atleast expect One week extra:)? (I am on My phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zellk.6308 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thank you for the heads up!! Hope you'll manage to fix these issues without troubles and without crunching too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donari.5237 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks so much for the information! Since you seem to design schedules for Tuesday releases (possibly including hard to switch work day assignments), I'm guessing this means at least a week's delay from planned launch.

Silmar Alech.4305 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 No sweat, the most important thing is a smooth release. Nobody wants to hear cries of frustration from bugs and crashes and hear lines like "don't play on release day" in Teamspeak. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menadena.7482 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 > @"yoni.7015" said: > The statement doesn’t say anything :-1: Maybe but it says they realize it is delayed. Much better than a random period of time going by where it seems the official policy about ep 2 is they do not talk about ep 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcement this week for a release february 27th Exactly. The OP in this thread is saying there is *not* an announcement/trailer today, they don't know the exact release date because it depends on fixes, so IF they have work requirements that they only do these things on Tuesdays we are now pushed to trailer at the earliest next week and the episode the week after that.

Shaggy.9735 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 > @"yoni.7015" said: > The statement doesn’t say anything :-1: It literally states "hey, we were hoping it would be ready today, but it isn't. We are still working on some stuff and will have it ready as soon as we can." So..ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilk.2965 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I never understood this about not giving some approximate dates and leaving things in the air, we do not know if it will be in days, weeks or what. But thanks for the heads up anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
