Fearless.3569 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Alliances are a big lie people tell you to get you interested and spending on the game. I already pretty much moved on. And now take everything they say they are working on as a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The announcement the other day suggest we might well see a 3rd GW2 expansion before Half-Life 3 is released. But Alliances? HL3 might still win that race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hayes.6890 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The Half Life 3 comparison made my day lol. What a dismal measuring stick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambeleg.7632 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 @Dawdler.8521 said:No, they're gonna announce that after the expansion has released they will 100% focus on WvW.Good joke.Now seriously... why people still think Alliances will be a thing after more of 2 years? This smoke was sold for keeping players quiet. If 3rd Expansion meant that WvW is closed fully ('cos not being worth to be worked in, or 'cos admitting it needs a whole rework and having to start from zero), would be a real advance for the game mode... but this either will happen.

Substance E.4852 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 It blows my mind that people still unironically think alliances will ever be released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick.7164 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 They planning to have a meeting to set the date for a meeting to start possibly laying the ground work for your concerns. Be patient. Another two years not going to kill you unless you are as old as me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primatos.5413 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 They HAD to tell people about the expansion as a strategy to hold at least the pve players.. otherwise they would move on to other games maybe. The expansion always pushed their income quite a bit so what shall they do? Working on it can be started even a half year later ... this move bought them time i think O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corma.7268 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 That new expansion will be at least 2 years away from now. They will finish the icebrood saga first, and the other expansions took years, too. I seriously hope that alliances come much faster. My expectations are low though ... they don't mention "world restructuring" anymore in their look-aheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorani.7205 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Packing it (or additional nice to have features surrounding alliance management) into a 3rd expansion will be a (perhaps the only) reason for WvW players to buy the expansion. It makes total sense from a business POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primatos.5413 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 They surely will find a way to force wvw players to buy expansion like the always do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players without the purchase of Expac 3 would get access to join 2 alliances, players with the Expac 3 will get "3 additional alliance slots". People with Expac 3 could also gain access to new stuff that come in addition to alliances, like the return of a WvW crafting station, a new guild buff (e.g. a combined WxP & reward rank buff, a new collection of account bound things etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that could work. depends on how many ppl it will piss off tho. imo its safer to give away improvements to the base game for free cuz to do otherwise would be seen as greedy, not to mention how janky it would be for the players when the details play out.
