Strider Pj.2193 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 With the announcement and statements from Developers that New LW releases will have ‘expansion level content’ do you envision the possibility of an alliance release day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunkamania.7561 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 0 chance. They gave us not good enough for gem store skins today so in their minds that's content covered for wvw for another 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Very low chance, but I wouldn't be surprised to get a little more insight or at least a mention of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrilana.1396 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I’d be shocked if they’re even actively working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I Did It.2854 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if on the 30th August they announce that WvW/PvP game modes are being scrapped completely as not enough playerbase are using them.After all its been so long now, id doubt if they are actively working on anything WvW related.

Cyninja.2954 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Honestly, I think the game overall needs a direction and new emphasis. If this was a 2 hour event, I'd be a lot more confident that all game modes saw attention.As is, I'd be happy if they get a promising message along for the main focus of the game first, then follow-up as fast as possible on spvp and wvw content.Yes, I know people love to see "their" game mode see love (and WvW could really need a lot, as well as pvp) but reality is: PvE is keeping the lights on currently. For there to be any hope that WvW improves or sees attention down the road, the PvE cashflow needs to kind of be secured. I primarily PvE and WvW, so here is me hoping WvW gets some spark and reinvigorating asap.TL;DR:I doubt that WvW or Spvp are currently significant enough to find space in a sub 1 hour presentation.

Arzurag.7506 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Seems like I´m not the only pessimist here.^^Anyway, at this point any news would be good news, even an anouncement that declares alliances as abbandoned, at least then I would stop hoping for a glimpse of new content.Mediocre weapon-skins do not fit my definition of content.

googel.3278 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 They're milking players who blow all their money on fancy pixels. Alliance is out of the question, Anet caters to da hungry players who believe fashion is end game content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subversiontwo.7501 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If what was mentioned in the roadmap is true it's not too unlikely that the 30th will come with a release date or at least an update.I think I've mentioned it elsewhere somewhere but in april they stated that they had a programming team working on building the bulk code (ie., the programming equivalent of having a wireframe in place and filling it with concrete). That would have suggested early testing just before summer vacations and full QA testing starting sometime around now. A release day a couple of months from now would then not be unlikely.Then again, other things could have gotten in the way again, they can have run into snafus or just given up completely. The 30th is still likely to update us on that. I'm sure that update will be decisive for more players than just myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonSeed.3528 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 There is a bigger chance they will dangle a different carrot on a stick to make a distraction from that. Maybe we get a new mount. That'll make a certain crowd happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost like a nerve is struck each time its brought up and some poor guy in the office gets a clip round the year for announcing projects they simply cant do.I do hope Im proven wrong...

Gop.8713 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Yeah I would have gone with more than zero, but twenty-five is def way too high. In my imagination they wouldn't announce it they would just release it, but I guess they can't do that bc ppl would need notice to tick the wvw guild box or w/e . . .

Infusion.7149 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Be realistic . It's limit of probability approaches 0. If you ran a development studio and revenue was declining (MMOs as a genre are giving way to low dev time games such as battle royale , "autochess", & mobile /tablet) you wouldn't throw money at a minority of the playerbase (also goes for raid elitists complaints). Maximum profit per dev hour is extracted from mount skin (only need to fix clipping per race) followed by glider and outfits (not individual armor pieces). Then weapon skins sets and backpieces.If I had to speculate, maximum money is spent on the Living Story and rightfully so.Be happy with your Mist Lord weapons, it's probably all we'll get this year unless there's massive amounts of money to spend on dev hours.
