Why I'm rather disappointed about LS4

[Bridget Morrigan.1752]

It's really impressive to argue both that content is coming too fast and not fast enough in the same post.

[Sithis.3564]

Why do you want Serpent's Ire nerfed? It's being farmed every day. Just today I did it on my Necro, War and Guardian. Not a single fail.

IMO the 2-3 month gap is just about perfect. I don't know about others, but that gives me a chance to explore through the entire new map, farm currencies and complete all of the events and collections. I have plenty to do in this game already; the LS3 maps still keep me occupied for dailies and currency farming, plus I like to just run around in them and admire the visuals. And with each new map, there's always something more for me to do every day. If they dumped a new episode out every 30 days, that'd be too much.

As to OP's viewpoint; I understand that fixing PoF should be a priority, but let's face it: most of us have already done all the interesting content it provides. We'd rather get something new to suck in in the meantime, as they slowly fine-tune PoF metas and such.

Also, Anet cannot push out content any faster than they can create it. The 2-3 months is probably the most optimal time for them to create everything, fine-tune it and fix bugs before they release it. And that's a really short time in my opinion, I really admire how fast they have been able to push out new content lately.

Thats like saying a movie didnt live up to your expectation after only watching the teailer before the movie’s even out...........

[Game of Bones.8975]

How can you be disappointed in something you haven't even seen?What percentage of the population didn't like mounts before PoF came out, but now how many of them play without mounts after they see the usefulness?Wait until you see what LS4 has to offer before knocking it.

[Endless Soul.5178]

And here I am feeling like I'm having a hard time keeping up with the release pace.

[Haadi.9764]

I believe that the majority of the player base, me included, are completely fine with the 2-3 months gap.

[Deepcuts.9740]

Reading the title I thought time travel is real or I lost the start of LS4 and people are already disappointed.

@DakotaCoty.5721 said:'No breaks in content delivery''6 raid wings a year'.

a new LW episode every 2-3 months is new content without any breaks in it.It is a break. In TV even 5min of advertisments is considered a break. 3 months is 25920 times longer than 5min.

[flog.3485]

I feel for the OP. I am literally quite disappointed with what GW3 has to offer so far.

[Offair.2563]

Ya know it takes quite longer to create content then steamrolling through it with guides?

[blambidy.3216]

I would assume ArenaNet would give another update buff while releasing living world season 4. However harpy needs a buff? No. Didn’t struggle with them. It’s just they are swarming with a bunch of others. Knock one by one down.

As for the updates. 2-3 months is good. As much as people complain ArenaNet hasn’t done other stuff. It makes them have enough time to add stuff to the game and give us another episode. Which is free when they could charge for it. For people like me played a year and a half. I still have hot masteries to finish. I’m only 150 in mastery points so I have a while to go before I’m full finished to just do pof. So it’s good for me. As for others idk.

I often here there was a drought. But maybe only to the players who started in the beginning. But to us who only played couple years, it’s fine. Specially since we don’t have all the time in the world. 2-3 months give time to finish the episode. And time to collect the new stuff. After all a new map will be added. A new raid. Assuming a new mastery line and mastery points. So that’s gives us enough time to add those while playing the game to catch up.

I know right! In my case its LS5 that has me bugged. Cant believe what they are doing with it. Complete slap in the face to veteran players. LS6 is no better.

I also remember seeing a few languages with if/else statements using syntax like the above, but I can't recall what languages they were. I just know they exist. I believe it was a scripting language, if that's of any help. I know Python has a somewhat similar if/else statement, but it's not quite the same.

Edit: A little research later, it looks like Visual Basic if/else statements work kinda like this.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/language-reference/statements/if-then-else-statement

The keyword "then" is only needed if you're using the single-line if/else syntax, and if you don't use the "then", then you get something like...

If conditionstatementsElseIf elseifconditionelseifstatementsElse

elsestatementsEnd If

Serpent Ire's doesn't need the break baror HP Nerf . Just need a better transition into the CC test phase.Some portal after Defeating the first Zealot's wave.,add some items bundle that help with CC , more obvious safe spot to change skill.
