windbliss.3158 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for the insight. I know some things can go wrong, but hopefully you nail things down. Better to get something that meets/exceeds expectations pushed than something disappointing.For those who have the desire to compain: I highly recommend a course in patience.

Palador.2170 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for the information. I know you'll tell us more when you have more to tell. Programming bugs can be annoying things to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castlemanic.3198 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Props to Anet for taking the time to fix the issue instead of releasing with something buggy and unsatisfying. It's a wonderful relief from the industry standard of "we'll fix it later, don't worry".Thank you for letting us know. As patient as I have been, it's good to get some information rather than speculating endlessly. Really appreciate the transparency here.Honestly, I was kind of expecting it to hit the 3-4 month mark anyway, considering several holidays occurred one after another near the end of the year anyway, but I also expected the same of episode 1 to be delayed after the release of the expansion, but you guys seriously keep surprising me with this aspect. Like even when you'd have a legitimate reason to delay like holidays or an expansion release, you're still doing the hard work and making it hit the mark. Bug fixing and large issues are of course very valid reasons to delay, but I meant issues other than those.Thanks again for the update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronos.6532 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 probably just a few days delay like the last episode that got delayed, so it won't release on a tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinigamiSama.1453 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The longer it takes for an episode to be released, then that means all the better for us. Rushed releases have the downside of having a bunch of bugs to be fixed. Keep up the good hard work guys! Looking forward to the next episode.

Zaxares.5419 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for the update, Mike. As others here have mentioned, I'd rather you guys take the time to get things right rather than rush out a buggy release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bargamer.1762 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hey, since you're delaying the trailer/episode anyways... Can we continue to have the Lunar New Year celebration until then? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Is this gonna be like lake Doric where it's one day behind? Or will the teaser be a bit late but the release the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thank you for posting this. As always, I'd rather have a delayed and finished product than a rushed and unfinished one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbore.1473 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Was there something wrong with the trailer itself?Are the fixes you are implementing going to drastically change the gameplay/map design?If the answer the above questions is no, then I don't see a reason to not release the trailer as planned... As you said its getting awfully close to that self-imposed 3 month time table, throw us a bone here ;) P.S. I do really appreciate the update though, so there is that. I'd rather wait a little longer for a polished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as we were preparing the episode for launch we discovered issues that we want to take additional time to address, to make sure it lives up to our standards. Once we have nailed down the last few details, started the process for moving the build to Live, and are confident when the episode will launch, we will release the trailer. Thank you for patience and bearing with us as we put the finishing touches on Episode 2. We look forward to playing the next chapter of Living World with all of you once it is released.Thanks!Mike ZadorojnyI would love to hear what it was about.

I'd rather wait a little longer for a polished product.Trailers for the Living Story do give a release date and since there are ( major? ) issues with the update itself Anet can't give out a release date right now. The moment they know the exact date of release for episode 2 is the moment they can put that date on the trailer and give us the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Asdasd.6194 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I really want to play Guild Wars but there is nothing to do >.< and you guys dont really give me a reason to go back to it since story takes ages to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubySzymek.1362 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I keep dreaming this is because they need to fix some unexpected bugs with build templates which they are releasing with episode 2.Right ANET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly the situation like this is something new, also it's been 3 months so I don't understand how the issues could just pop up so sudden.Why didn't you release a trailer yesterday and just didn't tell the date in that? And make a statement why you didn't put the date. That would be better and you would have given some more time to theory crafters.You have chosen the worst solution .

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Not really new; it's happened before. I don't believe it's been 3 months quite yet.I imagine issues 'pop-up' when they test the finished (hopefully) product/release on their in-house live servers. I'd bet we would rather they test it there, rather than test it on our live servers...wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time flies, I know!Since we get a trailer a week in advance, we're breaking the 3 month cadence by a bit (a week or two, nbd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tekoneiric.6817 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Another thought... Add some world completion bonuses to keep people occupied while they are waiting on the next episode. Something like extra BL keys or retired skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see some shoddy environment design like that mess of a building then I'm going to get really upset with you guys and buy fewer gems.I didnt see anything messy about the design of the astralarium. The mount movement abilitues made it even easier to move around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
