I think they might be doing an update every 2 weeks.Hopefully these mission either get interesting or we can be done with them by January. Upcoming chapters feature (1:09)and we can see, thunderhead peaks, fields of ruin, bloodtide coast and snowden drifts DRM during this sentence. So we will have at least 4 DRM after the January update.And '' Upcoming chapters '' mean more than one chapter, So I can see them adding lots of other DRM until the end.Everything is predictable about the content that will be added. It's just that people watched the trailer too quickly and didn't understand his meaning.They added 7 other missions into the game last patch and they specifically stated that there will be releases in-between chapters, if not the DRMs they added into the patch then what? It's possible they could be keeping the response missions to have them spread out over the coming months but that would just mean that there's other content planned in-between now and the next chapter. Personally I think they're keeping to their biweekly updates and adding in the in-between content with that, so December 1st. If it's the DRMs or something else I don't know. But this is all just speculation, It'd be nice for the Devs to let us know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Flame.8056 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 We apologize for the confusion around the timing of these two events. To clarify, there is a one-week gap between the conclusion of the Crystal Bloom event and the beginning of the next event. The next event, mobilizing the Ebon Vanguard, will begin on December 1. If you haven't received your rewards from the Crystal Bloom yet, be sure to collect them from their representative in Eye of the North before December 1. The Ebon Vanguard is the only other faction event for this release. There will be more faction updates with the next release, arriving after the Wintersdsay festival sometime in the new year. We will be communicating additional information on Faction Event timing in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 So instead of waiting 2 months for content, you wait that time to play an hour and then have to wait two weeks more for another hour even though that content is done and in the game.Weekly releases of finished content sounds like a good idea if there is a progress bar to complete. A week of no progress bar and the previous bar amounting to no impact on the game at all is, by current experience, a really bad idea. Add onto that, every community event has been bugged or broken (save for Fractal Rush) with throw away rewards.Just wait for all the content to be out and let the community progress bars fail.Limited and timed content is the worst content ever, Living World 1 being prime example that almost bombed GW2. If Anet wants to come back to that, let them fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Wait, I'm confused, so is the current release limited play? As in, do it now or it disappears? Or is there a cycle like Strikes used to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueki.4753 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Even with that response, it's blatantly obvious how much of a fail this droplet release is.Even with the Ebon Vanguard part it'll likely be less than half an episode, even for the minuscule Season 5 standards.

Even on day one of the Champions patch people were confused on what to do with "speak with the lady (can't remember her name) in the Eye of the North" step. It wasn't clear that the step was connected to the Crystal Bloom event. And after figuring out that it is, everyone just assumed that we would have to wait 1 week (so the timer to be up) for the story to continue. I say everyone assumed because you didn't tell us anything in game on how and when the story would continue. If only you sent an in-game email saying that the event is connected and the story continues on Dec 1st all this confusion could have been avoided.
