I am guessing you are not a developer or a creative? I can give a ballpark of when I would LIKE to have something done but I know as soon as I do someone will hold me to that number, no matter how many caveats I gave.

Or is something wrong with the trailer itself? While I want to see the trailer too it ends with the release date, which is currently unknown. Plus we do not know the nature of the problem, it could affect the content in the current trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaraki.5784 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Apparently I'm the only one thinking this way, but I'd prefer to have a new buggy content to play asap, instead of waiting an unknown period of time with nothing else to do in the game...oh well, it can't be helped so I'll wait.

It takes awhile to do world complete so it's more busy play than super-rewarding. Each player might get map complete on one or two characters before the episode release. It was just a suggestion.

sorudo.9054 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 i can't get though ep 1 anyway since you put an indestructable enemy in glints lair which can't be killed by a necro (thanks for that) so take your time, i just hope you don't make such mistakes like last time.

Nah. While there are some minor bugs that we can live with ( and some could be quite funny ) if there is something gamebreaking, Anet shouldn't release it until they got the problem sorted out. And with the delay, I think Anet found something gamebreaking that should be fixed before release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ik it was just a suggestion im just argueing that it could hurt the already weak blw market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediwolf.8724 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I totally agree. Release it when its done. There is lots of things to do in game to keep busy. I would rather wait and have a good issue free next chapter of the story. Super Adventure Box hopefully returns sometime in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jski.6180 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Please make it so you can do it all with no mounts or at least make the wvw reward track able to get with out needing the mounts. I love gw2 a lot but i only play wvw for the most part and do not wish to spend that much time in pve to get more wvw effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet we would rather they test it there, rather than test it on our live servers...wouldn't you? Their 3-months cadence ends next week, so in 2 weeks it won't be PROMISED 3-months cadence, as I understand that the issuses popped up and there is nothing they can do till the next week or so, but I think not releasing the trailer yesterday was weird, I mean that would be really good and make people busy for the next 2-3 weeks until the episode will be released, dont you think?

Umm...a trailer only takes me a couple of minutes to watch, and, at most, another hour to watch WP dissect it. So, no, I don't think that would keep players or potential players busy for 2 or 3 weeks. Nor do I believe I mentioned anything about the trailer in my post; perhaps there was something in the post I was responding to. I really must consider quoting more often.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Also, just another example of why the Devs are reluctant to share. 'PROMISED' schedule! Even though the Devs articulated why the Episode might be late, even though they had less time because of holidays, we still get, "You PROMISED!!!!". /smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrlyFactor.8341 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for the heads up. I'm not particularly fussed by this because I'm still feeling burned from the story of Episode 1. Quite frankly, I expect more of the same story nonsense from Episode 2 so if anything I'm actually dreading the next episode. Still, the heads up is appreciated.

Mahou.3924 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks for the update. As I *only* play for the story, it doesn't make that much of a difference to me when I come back, but any news about it are always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the plan was for unveiling the episode 2 trailer today that would mean the trailer has already been made. It would be possible to release the trailer first to give the players something to look forward 2 and get us hyped for the upcoming episode instead of waiting till there is a definitive release date. Hope we get it today still or soon, because it will make no sense to release the trailer on the day that the new episode is released or even a few days before.

They'd have to change it around to be able to release it - and then likely make another one when release date was indeed set. To me it seems like the time spent doing that might not have been productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bast.7253 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 As much as I’d like to believe we could get the trailer tomorrow and patch next Tuesday I’m pretty sure best case is trailer Tuesday and patch in a week or two. Wouldn’t be surprised if they did indeed wait and release it at the end of the pvp season on the 13th. Can agree that some teasers would be nice though. But that could dampen the impact of the trailer. Who knows. I hope you guys add some guild decorations though. ;p Just finished my third world completion and am eager to find out which part of the world we’re going to next! Also wondering if that big multi seater Rhino looking mount could be a possible addition in this patch which may have created some technical difficulties. (Something that shaman datamined a silhouette of and in no way indicated it was an actual mount.) Either way, here’s to hoping it’s soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
