Could we get all elite specs revealed at the 7th and play them?

[Gashi.4327]

I know it was handled the same in HoT, but 3 at a time is still a bad way of revealing elite specs. Not only will some people be able to play 4 betas with their classes and others just 2, the elite specs that will be revealed at the end will receive far less adjustments, because the community will not have enough time to test them enough

They said 3 for each of the first 3 betas so the virtuoso for instance will be available only in the first and 4th event so they won't receive more testing. They will likely then work on feedback between each beta event so it goes

1st beta event - balance pass on those 3 specs - 2nd event - balance the next 3 specs - 3rd event - balance the last 3 - 4th event all specs have received one balance pass by this point - final balance pass before release.

Ah alright I thought it would be first 3, then 6, then 9, but I still feel they could at least announce them

We still have 6 months to wait for EoD so spreading out the elite spec reveals helps maintain the hype.

I had thought of this as well. The heavy armor specs will definitely get a fair bit less time for balance discussion among the player base. If Anet provides surveys to anyone who participates in a beta, then they could get plenty of feedback without having to generate the discussion on forums.

 

The best thing we can do to voice our concerns is: If you play any spec and are concerned about fundamentally flawed design, be very loud. Post everywhere and post often. Drive discussion on them. Don’t let Anet ignore it and push out the expansion with more specs like Scourges or Firebrands.

fail this is not hype

It won't happen because nothing is done yet, it's still under construction.
