Ashantara.8731 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I was expecting we would get one on Tuesday, January 3rd, but it looks like we will have to wait at least another week or longer. I am especially impatient for a new story release (and possible Strike Mission). 10 2 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentMoore.9453 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I'd like to have one, but I'm not impatient for it, no. I'm working on achievements while I wait and it'll be a pleasant surprise when it gets here, hopefully. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico.9361 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Uhm, crazy idea, u know that Anet employees are humans too. They deserve a holiday break. We already know that next week, we're moving into Canthan New Year for couple of weeks. The next steps will get there when they get there. With the teaser pick we got before Xmas, I think we already got more than enough for release that might come in couple of months. I'm curious, yes, not impacient. 13 2 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 They sure pulled the Lunar New Year's festival early this year. Only 1 week break between Wintersday and it. I strongly expect there to be a new content release (new Canthan map) in early February. Them having pulled the festival to an earlier date so people won't have to play the festival together the new content release. Then SAB after that and filling the time in between until SAB (if there might be too long breaks without anyting) ... with "Rush" events. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in-game Lunar New Year is always around the same time as the real-life one, which moves around compared to calendar years. This year it's 22nd January, which is almost the earliest it can be. It wouldn't surprise me if they do release something in February too, but I don't think that's why Lunar New Year is so close to Wintersday. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hopefully we see some revamps and overhauls to EoD. Notably a big increase in map content (events, races, activities), sorting out the research notes catastrophe. Id also like to see DRMs removed and IBS properly finished off, but that’s a dream that won’t be realised. Im all for new maps, but abandoning the more recent ones to empty obscurity seems a bizarre strategy. Players used to play core, hot, PoF just for fun and for the sake of playing. EoD doesn’t seem to have that. Players run in, do their objective - ignoring others en route, and leave. 8 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They desperately need more events. Something to keep them flowing. At the moment, unless there's a meta or levi farm going, people are barely there. 15 hours ago, Ashantara.8731 said: I was expecting we would get one on Tuesday, January 3rd, but it looks like we will have to wait at least another week or longer. I am especially impatient for a new story release (and possible Strike Mission). I'd give them longer. Many people are still on winter vacation. A roadmap, sure, but wouldn't expect one until after Lunar festival. I'm kind of enjoying the pause...feels like we've gone through every month lately with a lot to do. Very little time to pause and complete things I've wanted to work on. To each their own on what they like to do with their time, and I know for many veterans they constantly want something new. It starts to feel oversaturated with stuff though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev.1984 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Let's recap their "road maps" We want dungeons, we don't want dungeons anymore let's abandon them and do Fractals, we don't want Fractals anymore, let's do Strikes. We don't want Raids, now we DO want Raids. 2 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those events are the same we have had for several years now. The only difference this year they remove the food, thing that I don't care much. 5 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duglaive.5236 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Sign in maybe 1 or 2 times a week, and perhaps do dailies. More likely to just collect the log-in rewards, and sign off. I don't enjoy EoD, so for me the game has begun to feel stale. So stale in fact that at this point I have little interest in a road map, either. I'll continue to check the forums for news every so often, but speaking for myself GW2 is very much on the back burner 😞 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought the robo-pacalypse was finaly under way! 😕 On a more serious note, though...I'm waiting as patiently as I ever wait for the roadmaps of the future. Which is to say, I'm good for now. I mean, I do like them and am excited for when they come out, but I'm not in any sort of rush for them. And I'm glad that Anet gets them out for us now to give us a heads up for what's ahead for the next few months. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to keep myself busy with endgame content at the moment (map metas, strikes, fractals, the occasional raid), as I literally have nothing else left to do. That's why I am very much looking forward to learn more about the upcoming months. 🙂 Edit @ confused people 😂 : I am fully legendary and have ~40k AP. I literally don't have anything left to do, except HT CM, but haven't looked for a static team for that yet.

Ashen.2907 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Honestly, not really. It is going on a year since the last new content and it was (IMO) very bad. The last content before that was rushed and lackluster in the end. This was particularly unfortunate because IBS had been, again IMO, pretty decent up until the end. So, recent track record has me not looking forward much to whatever is coming. If the glowing neon green aesthetic of Cantha, forced into even supposedly remote wilderness areas, continues then not even exploration will remain as a draw. 9 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
