I am, as person, have another point of view.Not an opinion. Anet will not announce major expansion features solely through a random twitch or youtube streamer. That's just how it is. There is a slim chance a major gaming magazine might get an exclusive scoop, but that will be in conjunction with an official announcement anywayThe feb 16th bonus event was announced by Anet on their release page last monthlast month was another bonus eventThey also announced the the latest one on their release page. It's still up there for you to read.https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/january-19-2021/ scroll to the dwarves bit and in there it mentions the next one starting on the 16th and hints at it being Exalted and being able to access the new weaponsWe will get elite spec info direct from Anet when the time is ready. Like we always do. Including the warrior one ;)for that info you need keep look that informed people sayI can't really understand what you are saying here, but as I said, Anet will announce the elite specs when ready. Possibly in the same format they did with regular blogs on the release page prior to HoT and prior to PoF. No one is going to look to a streamer for info because that is not how things work. Anyway, regardless of this bizarre back and forth, the warrior espec has not been announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 NEVER expect anything to be shown officially earlier than the final episode of Icebrood Saga dropping. This is how Anet always is. It isn't FF14. If Anet gets tens of millions of reoccurring players monthly we can discuss otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercury ranique.2170 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It is not Arenanet's style to hype and announce things so far ahead of time. They prefer to have it ready when it is ready and start hyping when they know they can deliver. Specially with PoF this was the case. The living world season ended with a teaser for an announcement just one or twee weeks later. Then the expansion was released just less then two months later.The real question is why they announced EoD a year ago. The answer is that after the lay offs and reforming the company, initially the statement was that there was no plan on an expansion. After the dust settled and the player base roared, this was changed. To prevent any confusion as the statement was that there would be no expansion they made an announcement.

Sitting there waiting for 2 years...Being patient is one thing, but waiting several years for a game or movie is just skritt.Just announce the stuff like 2-3 months in advance.

ChampionMasquerade.5283 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I like not knowing until soon before release. That way I don't have to wait anxiously for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Lastly some days ago, I watched nintendo direct, and splatoon 3 trailer (note I could have said star wars, lord of the ring..) hyped me more than gw2 ever did. I am not satisfied nor conforted by the phone silence of this company. No news? No name of specs? Not their icons at least? Some things to theorize and debate about?I totally agree that speaking about maps wouldn't bring a single thing, cause we already know it's cantha. But, is it hard to release some more expansion areas screenshots of places or npc?I want some infos like OP. See the icebrood saga trailer, it shows you where you are aiming. What EoD one shows apart useless speechs and zoom on chinese architectures? A trailer, worse than any LS trailer. The last chapters are overwhelming and disapointing nothing good out of them apart creating another elitist content and lfg discrimination. The only "good" thing is that the factions events ask you to do events in core / other expacs maps. This isn't dead but still, a current lethargic state. Sure you can do things in core other xpac maps but the last story releases have nothing to be excited about.And that's the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenakou.7853 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I feel your pain OP. I was just thinking about this the other day myself. ANet is doing a terrible job of generating hype for EoD. Endwalker is dropping later this fall for FF14 and GW2 hasn't even let us see concept art. They used to be so much better with community engagement.
