Randulf.7614 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Good call for a Monday release in case of unexpected bugs. Best to have a weekend to chill beforehand anyway Edited February 1, 2022 by Randulf.7614 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter.3841 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 A Monday? You went with a Monday to launch an expansion? Yikes... 3 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer a Monday over a Friday. That way hopefully the most bugs will be fixed in for the weekend. 10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 As I said in another topic I won't have much time to play it until March, so it doesn't make a big difference to me what day it is. But I agree that releasing on a Monday to give them more time for bug fixing makes sense. Mostly I'm just glad we know exactly when it's coming out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristingr.5034 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Every other expansion was released on a Friday. Why release this on a Monday? It feels weird. Friday gives people the weekend to enjoy the new content and not have to deal with work. I pre-emptively took off the 25th as both HOT and POF were both released on a Friday. Now I won't even get to play the new content until March 4th because you know, people work during the week. 1 5 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even people that work can play during the week after work and there are people who have to work on weekends. 6 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einsof.1457 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons Gameplay Features Trailer - YouTube ^ For those that haven't seen. I watched it twice. I am definitely excited for this xpac and trying out all the new stuff. What about you? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still hadn't announced a launch date, which means they're pushing it as far as they can (a.k.a. they should realistically be delaying it) B. Previous expacs have launched on Friday. It was a precedent. With those two in mind, I simply chose what would have been the expected launch date. I'm also aware that people can work on the weekends, but every game out there will show the same thing -- more people play over the weekends than during the week. 1 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you, there will be more weekends, even after February 28th. My hope is that after a release on Monday the biggest bugs will be fixed during the week and we can have a better experience on the weekend. We will see. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Using a Monday for once sounds interesting. While the most players are usually online around the weekend, most of the staff is available after this launch. So they can react quicker and better. No need to postpone certain issues, they can address them right away. Do you intend to change the patch-times in general. Or is it only for this special occasion? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glott.7239 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I hate to be a Debbie Downer but this makes me very worried that the Expansion will be very unfinished. It's literally the very LAST day to still keep the previously announced release window of "February" and with how little we've still been showen i'm afraid there won't be much substance at all and deviating from the previously established pattern of Friday releases for expansions just exacerbates that fear. It would be only 3 days between the usually expected date of Friday 25th and the announced one of the 28th. Is it really so "bad" that you think you need those extra 3 days? I hope not. I'm honestly glade i haven't preordered yet and if i had i would seriously consider canceling by now. PLEASE! I feel like this might be the last chance for the game. If you need extra Time take it! Don't pull a Cyberpunk or this might spell death for the game. Allthough it's probebly to late to delay it again now that date was announced. For me this means that this will be the 1st Expansion i won't be playing on release day. I still hope it turns out good and you all enjoy it, if it does i might be buying later, but as it stands now this could be the point were i quit the game all together. 2 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayra.7405 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) ^^Never expect to be able to play bug-free on the release date. Is there any game that behave differently? Release on the last day of Feb., sounds like end of March is probably a good time to enter Cantha 🙂, have fun as beta-tester during March. 😉 And this is independent of pre-order or not. WIll buy it anyway, like to play (the new professions) before it comes to sales in 2023, want a small bonus and give the company a bit money ahead of time, are the criteria to decide on pre-order or not.

Aleksander Suburb.4287 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 The new Cyberpunk-Trailer looks really great ... but what is about a new trailer of guild wars 2? Haven't found it yet. 😒 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They released the original game on a Tuesday, the previous two expansions on a Friday and this one on a Monday, the very last day they could while still making a February release date, I'd guess there's some serious crunch occurring. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Underwater Leviathan world boss is so so sooooo long overdue!! I am as hyped as a squirrel on skittles over that alone XD 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mage from the hood.5129 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I really hope those jade bots will not end up being a glorified wheelchair like what untied legions waystation turned out to be. Players need to deal with downstate issues, breakbars and similar stuff by learning the encounter and their class mechanics, not by relying on a training wheels mastery protocol. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeftheWicked.3076 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm chill. I learned over time that guild wars and it's xpacs are often love at second sight. So no need to be hyped or prickly. I'll give it time and let it grow on me. Trailer is very nice though. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're having to crunch to make the deadline, then they should be delaying the game. God forbid they rush it out and have it be terrible than just post-pone it a wee bit longer to ensure everything works. Not sure why Anet is trying to act like this launch HAS to happen in February. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
