Pretty sure someone else will be allowed to push the "big button" for the update to go live anyway.

According to the quote in post #127 we should see WoC sometime in the next week but it can be pushed back. Key word in the quote is "should". Lets keep our fingers crossed all goes well.

Oo, I've been waiting for Winds of Change! I'm so excited. It sounds like they put a lot of effort into it, so it should be worth the wait.
I hope. I need something to get me back into the game.

Looks as if I'll have to try harder to finish "Factions". The farthest my characters have gotten is working for the Luxons or Kurzicks. (I've been working on "Nightfall" and EotN at the same time, and am bogged down in the Dunes of Despair for "Prophecies".) Winds of Change will be good, though, from all accounts so far.

"What a storm of angst. Not quite what I was anticipating in the way of an excited reception."

Oh boo-hoo.

Of all the images they allowed to be released to the public, they show us their new costume. The art and design team has definitely improved over the years, but there will never be another set of armor in this game that can be obtained without the cash shop. Some of us are also tired of the constant flares of hype and excitement coming from people who just eat up any new information without analyzing it.

The idea that discontent and "angst" should not be allowed in a community - specifically in a place where the community is supposed to discuss things - is cancerous and detrimental, and is part of the reason why this community is so lack-luster.

White Mantle much?

Sigh. The speculation that the Wind of change would start with the dragon festival was not accurate. Sigh. Seems I'll have my new computer before WoC starts...

i sure like to see new armors, but i hope it'll be some longer than WiK.... and more advanced than just several quests you gotta do and done...

its fun to see it would change some spawns or something in certain areas

also, what i really hope for, is that it wont have any solo part, so that the bit multiplaying whats left in GW, can be used.... or just heroes in case you cant find anyone nice ...

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. I am leaning towards the first part more.

Bolded the important points. There was no actual reason to say it would, besides people guessing.

Iuris · Jul 04, 2011, 09:57 AM // 09:57

I know, but I did the guessing

"gosh that was bitter. what do you want, spoilers?"

No, I want something that will make this feel like a real effort to make something interesting and fun rather than blatant advertising. It's a known fact that they will be releasing costumes at every opportunity, especially at every new Beyond release, there's no reason why they need to keep bragging to us about their uppity fashion designers and their stupid costumes.

Anet, show us why we should be excited about Winds of Change, or is it that you're only working on WoC to peddle more cash shop goods?

You seem to have confused Anet with EA Games...

What? Anet didn't do any advertising for WoC, yet. It was the bloggers who took and showed us that screenshot of the new npc/costume armor. If you want to complain about how we have no good info about the new content, chalk it up to the fact that the fan day was really mainly about GW2 and only a small portion of WoC was available to be played.

As for why we should be excited: between 21 and 42 quests in this piece of it, which is only the first piece; new spawns (which, judging by the Peacekeeper mobs, will be fun to play against); quests that tell a story by fundamentally changing the explorable zone. WiK didn't disappoint me, and the only thing about HotN that I didn't like was the solo-only nature of it, so I'm pretty justified in being excited about WoC, I think.

have you read anything in this thread? you're embarrassing yourself with your ignorance

If they ever added a maid outfit for my monk, i would buy it. All other costumes are of no interest to me.

Grhgnj...

That would make me buy a new character slot and fill out my Mercenary heroes' slots

Can someone just make a Costume Rage thread somewhere so that every event doesn't get bombarded by this "blatant advertising" crap?

The idiots would still spread their whining wherever they could.

Not seeing a new costume in 6 months i hope they taken the hint that we take offense to premium ascetic content with anti-lacing and other errors... I'm hoping for something a little more creative in content and micro-transaction.... anyway they seemed to have planed this chapter of beyond a little more than WiK... hope we get to see it this week
