Y'know...

 

I was disappointed that we didn't see all (or more) of the elite specs with the livestream, but I think it's worth keeping in mind that Path of Fire marketing was pretty compressed because when it was formally announced, it was only 2-3 months until it was released. They didn't have TIME to draw out the reveals like they usually do. But when you look at the other examples? Heart of Thorns elite speculation reveals were revealed over several months, even if we saw glimpses of a couple of them in the trailer. The profession reveals for the original release were, if I recall correctly, stretched out over the course of a year and a half from when the only professions we knew for sure were warrior, elementalist, and ranger, until we finally had the mesmer leaked.

 

This is also standard practice in the industry - if something is announced more than 2-3 months before release, the central features are drawn out over that timeframe to maintain interest (and, ultimately, out of what's been revealed so far, the elite specs ARE the central features). Path of Fire was the exception, not the standard. 

 

Now, I think there is some validity to pointing out that we were told we'd get the second elite reveal this week, and now that's apparently not happening. Maybe there'll be an explanation when it DOES happen. But they're certainly not breaking any marketing rules by spreading out over the reveals. Just be glad that we DO have a schedule across which we can be reasonably certain we'll see them all.

 

Actually iirc, PoF launch was 5 weeks after the announcement, so not even 2 months. That's why they revealed everything all at once.

 

This expansion is 6 months off, people should have expected the slow burn. It's basically what happened with HoT.

Food for thought:

If the first symbol is the first e-spec revealed symbol and if the third symbol is the third e-spec revealed symbol, does this mean that the second symbol is the second e-spec revealed symbol?

That is possible but I cannot help thinking the second symbol is a Charr helmet. The dev's sure are messing with us but that makes it more fun.
