jbondo.9817 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I've played this game for many years, just finished LS4 and I loved it. Was just curious if anyone heard anything about new releases for GW2 or what we can expect in the future? It's almost been 2 years since the last expac, really hoping you guys have something lined up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ototo.3214 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Who knows, but we're getting Living World Season 5 next and they don't really announce when those episodes are coming out until a few weeks before they do. I also assume September or October though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James.1032 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Probably September/October. We have the Festival of the Four Winds for the end of July, or August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If it was still season 4, it would have been announced by now. It's already been 10 months since team 1's last episode, which was their average last season, and they've always been the quickest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 90 days after LS4.6 launched is 12 Aug. 120 days is 11 Sept. The average time between releases for LS4 was around 100-110 days (depending on how you count PoF and PoF→LS4.1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because even if the average was 100-110 days for se4 it was under heavy pushbacks and delays and the "schedule" of 2 to 3 months never really changed.

If there's one thing we've learned over the last 10+ years it's that we should not _expect_ anything. ANet releases things at their own pace. Consequently: I didn't actually make a prediction about when LS5 might begin. I just posted the data to which we have access. > @"mindcircus.1506" said: > Pointing to the old schedule is likely unwise at this point.

Hopefully they might shrink them, it soured the experience alot seeing them miss the mark repeatedly last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't release schedule the same as cadence of delivery? *shrugs*.... either way that is what I took from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glider.5792 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 27.8.2019 most likely (at least what im betting on). Soo in 6 weeks from this post. Thats just how i see timings add up. In less than 2 weeks (30.7.2019) we are most likely getting the Bazaar of the four winds. 3 weeks afterwards, the festival will end. 1 week after that, new LS will release. If there are delay or whatever else, add extra 2-4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurana.7506 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Okay so what do you think, when we'll get Festival of the Four Winds? And will we see LS5.1 right after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury ranique.2170 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 There is nothing officially announced as of yet. There are some strong indications that there will be a festival of the four winds somewhere imminent, but it is unknown when. I think we might have it somewhere during the second half of the summer. As for LS5.1. I do not think that anyone can make a safe bet and to be honest I wouldn't want to. It will be the first major release after the massive layoffs and reorganisation at Arenanet. The announcement said that the new teams will have more freedom to work on new and existing content, so I have no doubt that they want to show us what course they are going to take and set a precedent for the future releases. They better make it good and not quick in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurana.7506 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I thought about FotFW in late July or August and maybe LS5.1 in September. I think they won't release a new map so they could spare time and could be able to release it in September. But of course it's better to make it good than quick.

Arden.7480 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Festival of the Four Winds will most likely be announced THIS Tuesday (July 23rd) and will actually happen on July 30th. I'd say Season 5 will begin in the late August/Early September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they will extend the cadence, so less episodes, but much more content. But at this point if it would be 5-6 month cadence, I have no idea how would they keep the playerbase busy... Bonus Week events every 2 weeks? Personally I also hope they will shorten the release cadence, so a good amount of content, but with shorter cadence - 1-2 months. Something like Season 2. It has to be like that if we ever survive to Expansion 3. If they will want to extend the cadence, it means Living Story is the only focus of Anets.

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Well these boss blitz type events were designed to fill the gaps between content, so we know nothing is coming until after it is over. Should be soon though, since last year's was end of July, and ANET already stated they wanted this to be an annual event. I have a toon stocked full of low cost mats to burn on boxes - I'm ready for my disappointment ANET, let's do this!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt you just say the average w8 time was around 100 days? How is that closer to the 2 month mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonja Teh Trapper.7012 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 well i heard after world boss events that they are coming out with another event next week. not sure if it will be the four winds but ask around in game or your fellow guild members an friends. as for living world season 5 keep tabs in game on what people are talking about. it took them 5months to get the final of season 4 out on aurene. i expect the next will be cathan. expect maybe around halloween for living world season 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
