This would be fun. They could adjust the next chapter to kill off one ore more of the supporting characters.

We can discussed if weekly new content is good (remember LS1 with two weekly new content), but it just seems that they did screw up already with new content coming only when we reach tier 5, but making it unable to reach tier 5 now. (I assume that this is happening right now.)

Personally I would find it okay if they slowly increase the release. Maybe one more story, one mastery and two DRM (yes, I know that many got tired of them already), maybe a few more achievements and most would be okay with it.

I don't believe the Devs 'promised' weekly updates.This does not mean 'weekly':In the weeks between releases, each chapter will continue to evolve with new content and ways to play.

'Weeks' means any time between releases, i.e. sometime in the weeks between the release in November and the release in January.We've rarely, if ever, received any kind of update less than two weeks apart.

At no point did any promise get made, esp one about weekly content. Such misinformation is not helpful in encouraging better dev-community relations

[coso.9173]

they didn't say it was each new week, but they said weeks between content, then they droppe dthe smallest story update ever, AND a 1 week timer. it does 't take a genius to see why most people on the forums, the game, reddit and discord were left hanging wondering what happened.

Yeah, some clear communication and actual engagement with the community could enable them to clear up these misunderstandings and miscommunications and to manage expectations. However, they repeatedly choose not to communicate with us so I can only assume they're OK with this situation.

Perhaps the upcoming IBS plans are just as bad as some people are saying and so they're saying nothing to avoid having to admit just that. After all, someone who hangs around because they hope something better is coming is probably more likely to buy the next expansion than someone who stops playing right now.

[Nazarick.9653]

@Hesione.9412 said:Coming to GW2 from WoW cataclysm, I hated that expansion because of what it did to some of the maps. We've already gone through major map changes in places like LA, and I find the maps less interesting after the change (e.g. the original LA was great with all the x,y,z paths, now it's pretty much one flat map).

Don't forget they scrapped 2 whole raids out of pure laziness, giving us only half a tier at a time for most of that expac. (World of Fashion was a good move, but LFR was a disaster)

And it feels exactly the same with this current patch - all the maps scrapped (the ones that had datamined slots in the portal tome), but only giving us a quarter of an episode for the rest of this LW. (only difference is we know it's mostly down to a new expac in the works)

Well it could mean every week every other week or third week.

They could have been crystal clear and said when champions part 1 released that 2 weeks from now we will have to second content drop and end of this episode.

I agree, but with the track record if they actually made a statement like that and then failed to hit the mark, the backlash would have been brutal. As it usually is.

@"Linken.6345" said:They could have been crystal clear and said when champions part 1 released that 2 weeks from now we will have to second content drop and end of this episode.It would even help if they are saying something like "next part will come in a few weeks or so". But having a quest active AND having a countdown was implying that something will happen especially since they told us that there will be content update in the weeks between patches.

It is quite human to expect if someone counts down to 0 to expect something happens at 0 and not in a few weeks/months.

No, things like this happen because the in game communication sucks. Not everyone comes on the forums. I had no idea anything was going on for over 3 days.. and I'm a relatively active player.

All I got was an in game mail saying "here is something.. visit the Eye of the North". Days later when I finally went I still had no idea what to do or what was going on. I will admit that I have always had issues with how the game lets people know what to do. I should never have to go research something to figure out how to do it. Maybe I'm alone in thinking that.

Agreed. But this part of the discussion, was about "engaging with us on the forums" ;-)

still

have no idea what's going on.

This just makes me care nothing about it and I'm already bored after 2 public runs on each DRM.

You need to enter private party 1-5 and do all 3 challenges for 3/3 and gold mark instead of bronze.

Can be hard as solo if your unfamiliar with your class and cant bring the hurt tho.
