I feel like they probably learned what worked and what didn't from the second world, and a third world might be tuned for maximum fun.

So wait, if
dragon's reach p2 is mid season finale
, what will we get until fall?

What I don't get about this is,
looking at the GW2 release page, the first season had 20 episodes, with three or four events in between. So far we have had 3, coming up to our 4th in this season and it is being classed as "half-way through". Am I missing something or is it just going to be shorter? :(

That is a super pun right there.
 
ArenaNet said there was a break coming up. Websites reported it as a mid-season break.

I don't think Anet have called it a mid-season break anywhere.

Nope, it's all come from that overly wordy PCGamer article; "The Dragon's Reach: Part 1 will be the penultimate fortnightly Season 2 release before the Living World goes on a mid-season break."

Ugh. Sentences aren't supposed to be all chewy in the middle like that, someone needed to let that one bake a little bit longer.

You aren't missing anything in that nobody knows anything. This whole idea that the break is supposed to mark us halfway through the season just strikes me as odd, but hey, maybe it is and seasons will be 8 episodes but come faster now. Who knows!

Oh. That's a bit better I guess. Wish we had something official from ANET and not just stories from fan sites.

You think they would start living story updates before Halloween? I don't think they would want to overlap them.

Which could mean we see nothing till November.

Yeah, I'm actually rather disappointed by ANet's recent lack of any real communication. It feels like we're kind of just in limbo as to what's going to happen in the future and it just provokes the 'game is dying' crowd.

I also miss the short stories and lore blogs that used to come out every now and then.
 
Everything is speculation at this point. I expect them to give out more information during this release window about the length and nature of the break, so just enjoy the release and hopefully we'll know more within the next week.

Wouldn't expect these with any sort of frequency anymore, due to popular outcry all such lore is intended to be delivered in the game/journal instead. I liked them too.

That's not gonna stop whether Anet say or do anything it never stops.

Regardless, I am all but assured there will be a feature pack.
Click to expand...
dunno why you would be, we have rather literally no information to go on! A feature pack every four months would be amazing but also might be too much to expect.

edit: Braxzy, I'm sure we will be told how long the break will be, I'd bet 20g it will be announced by the end of this release window.

I'm pretty sure the major class balance changes they started talking about won't come in a LS update, so there is that at least.

No patch notes yet so I guess patch isn't out yet ? (Just quickly checking from vacation ;p)

Well I do apologise for that. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Jeez, the internet sure is full of pleasant, selfless people huh. I'm surprised they responded to it.
 
Rubi Bayer must have the patience of a saint and the discipline of a zen master to deal with that non-stop shit and not lose her cool.

Pretty much anyone who has to handle the community side of things must. I tip my hat to each and every one of them.

Anyone ever tweet at these people to be less entitled? Or does it not have the same effect when it comes from a player?

I'm sure it doesn't, nor would it be a good idea from a PR standpoint to reply in kind as a dev :'(

I don't mean for them to do it. If he can tweet that at them, I'm sure someone could tell him to be less entitled right?

Also, chaos skins sound interesting.
