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. Okay, I get your point and agree with it (re: IBS having a disappointing "climax"), and especially the part about jade-tech everywhere. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be too doom and gloom but, they have taken almost a full year to vaguely balance the professions and even then, many are still not there yet. 2022 and EoD was meant to be a refresh for GW2 and Anet after the poor conclusion to IBS and 2021 (alongside the ongoing profession balancing, WvW Alliances beta in year 4 or 5, PvP in basically maintenance mode). Yet we got an expansion with less content then previous ones, and still the same mess everywhere else. We have had a run around on profession balancing and WvW Alliances betas were underwhelming from the player perspective. We did get the re-release of Season 1, but as nice as that is, rehashing old content is a low cost way of putting out 'new' content. While we may get some nice looking presentations for what is coming this year, a roadmap from Anet is not what I am waiting for. I am waiting for actual content to be delivered and judging them as such. No Hopium that the next LWs or Prof Update will be 'the one that makes it better' but rather, I want to see what they deem worthy of delivering to the playerbase and decide if I am going to log in from there. 11 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Red Killian.3946 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Just be a little patient. This is the first week back. However they already have been communicative with dx11 announcement and lunar new year. Expect a road map either next week or during/after lunar new year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe next month or the other or maybe by summer, meanwhile let's milk up those same repetitive events or just re-release something they made on the past and call it done. 1 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You sound very optimistic. 😁😇 That's a good thing 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanLucas.6058 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 When does the team elaborate what they will be doing in 2023? Maybe get a roadmap going. With silence you won't retain players, so maybe give us some info? 2 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted an idea that they should make a scaleable boss to attack your guildhall and give nice rewards for people that take it down.

Shadowmoon.7986 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Anet does not iterate old system, they only make new systems that are soon abandoned. Dungeons fractal and raids should be a lesson. 3 4 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, back in early or mid December they stated they would be coming out with a roadmap after the first of the year. So we can expect something soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiamat.8254 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) I would prefer the road map instead of the lunar new year festival. Really can't be arsed so soon after winters day....

This doesn’t mean anything to a developer. People might leave if they don’t like the roadmap just as easily. While I would appreciate higher quality communication from Anet, I’ve played this game long enough to know how they work (slow) and I wouldn’t bother complaining until end of February if we really haven’t seen anything. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope for the end of January, when the Lunar New Year festival ends. I'm really impatient for a road map (and in a good way, mind you 😉 ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugrakarma.9416 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I guess is better instead of new content they just turn festivals permanent, and when one ends, another starts. We continue getting new skins after each festival cicle. Also removing more cheap food from the board. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bast.7253 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I check back every now and then but I honestly haven’t even cared. Been playing df despite not wanting to get sucked back into WoW again. I would just find a new game to play and check the Reddit to see if they’ve added an update or something. Likely more bunny helmets and fluff items in the gemstore for the next few weeks, maybe months. Think those are outsourced anyway. I will be surprised if they release more than one map this year and am expecting some big announcement about the studio any day now. Seems like something has been up since EoD release given their last statement about commitment to the franchise and the fact that we’ve had quite a bit of silence since, especially this past few months. Roadmap would probably just have 2 bullet points with festivals anyway so I wouldn’t expect anything major. 5 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melok.2173 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I would like to see more dedication to fixing bugs and providing updates within the forums. Seems like only a very small fraction of forums posts ever have anything posted from ANET. At least acknowledging that it was put in a backlog would be a start. Silence leads me to believe it hasn't gone anywhere, nor has it been added to any sort of backlog of items to be fixed.
