Lurana.7506 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hi, do you think we will get a LW-Episode in December? Normally it would fit into the three month schedule, but given that winter's day is on the horizon... I'm just curious what you might think so please give me your thoughts on this matter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will only login for the dailies until then, so it would be a shame if we had to wait _that_ long. :/ I am hoping for an announcement to be made next week, meaning for the episode to be released within two weeks.

Randulf.7614 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Given my gaming backlog, I'm hoping selfishly for after winters day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 They've been taking 9~10 months to develop the episodes of season 4, so early December would only happen if they're ahead of schedule. If it's not released early however, expect it to be even later due to the holidays; around February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 They've released during festivals before, so why not. December sounds fair. January's possible, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 If things are smoother than the last two chapters by any measure (which is easy since doing worse is making the game unplayable), we should see a trailer this week coming or the week after.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 In a recent interview, I believe Mike Z. said they were hoping/expecting Living World releases to be closer to the 2-month cadence than the 3-month cadence henceforth, but....they are happy to have the cushion, just in case. Edit: _So, my hope is that you can expect it to be much close to two months in the months moving forward but we you know obviously we have that leg room in there just in case._ Read more at https://www.mmorpg.com/guild-wars-2/interviews/guild-wars-2-gamescom-2018-interview-looking-back-at-living-world-1000012975#xLp7YSVlOeHqQxzP.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 If it's not December, it's going to be very late January because they've never released anything in early/mid January, their January releases are always near the end of the month. On the other hand, they had one release and one PVP event in December (outside Wintersday) so it's not very popular release month either. Personally, I hope for a late November release (I can dream right?) because it's a popular release month and will be within the 3-month release schedule :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeefa.3915 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'll set my expectation to sometime after wintersday... maybe even after the Canthan newyear... I would very much like to be wrong about said expectation though. Its just a matter of rather being pleasantly surprised than being disappointed.

When they stick to the 3-month release schedule we'd get an Episode in mid December. But winter's day is probably starting on 11th. So last time we had a release right before Halloween event. But this time it'd be to the same time. But one would think December is better than January to release a new episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new update coming to the game every 2 weeks, sometimes 3 (it depends on gemstore). It could be new LS, but it is most likely just gemstore update. We will see tommorow though.

Well, i can hope/dream it is for the new episode, right? ;) Though, I wont be frustrated if there's no trailer tomorrow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's always hope :) I think, if we get a new LW this year, we won't get a trailer in November. But I'd be glad to be wrong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's always hope :) I think, if we get a new LW this year, we won't get a trailer in November. But I'd be glad to be wrong :) IF the episode is on the 27th, we'll likely get to know through a trailer tomorrow. If that update *isn't* the episode, I don't think we can expect it this year - so far **none** of the relases post-HoT have been combined with a festival, and there's propabably too little time between nov 27th and the start of Wintersday (likely dec 18, but possibly dec 11) to squeeze in an episode there...

Probably you're right. Now when I think about it, it seems more likely to get an episode next week than in December. But even that is, as you said, highly unlikely.

I sooo hope we get it next week, I KITTENING WANT MY LONGBOW!!! *ahem* I'm sorry, don't know what came over me there. Jokes aside, I can actually see an option that gives us the episode in december - They don't actually need a patch to activate festivals any more, so they *could* (veeeery theoretically) release an episode dec 11 and start Wintersday dec 18 without an update...

Cyninja.2954 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 There are good reasons to push the next Episode past new years. There is a lot of game releases happening currently both on PC and console. GW2 December is full with 2 holiday events (Wintersday and Cantha New Year) as well as more real life distractions. It makes the most sense to let all this pass and get players to come back mid to end of January, an often slower release time frame. On top of which, IF episode 5 should be the last one from Season 4, it would make for a great bang to end Season 4 with what ever transition is planed to Season 5 at the begining of the next year to get players hyped. That said, I'm obviously hoping for a release asap and I have been wrong before. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahh, I don't think so. Many players would be a bit angry I think because they want to play the Winter's Day stuff but only have a limited amount of time and also want to play the new ep and do the new collections as fast as possible.

While you absolutely can refer to passing ep 3 of as "halfway", the announcement gives me the distinct impression there were 3 more episodes coming. > That said, I'm obviously hoping for a release asap and I have been wrong before.

I had all my materials ready a month in advance of that! I was fine with the waiting until then! I didn't know *waiting* could be exhausting!
