I think something that needs to be factored in is Embark beach. It would have been really, really easy to just hold off on that and give it as part of the anniversary update so it was more impressive in one big bang, but they didn't.

Personally I'd prefer iterative updates over a period of time instead of one big update that gets boring fast. It's fun to have new stuff, but it's a lot more fun to have continually new stuff, even if it is 'unimpressive'. It would be really boring to only have 1 or 2 'impressive' updates per year (if we're lucky) because there would be such a lull in between.

I just feel like they started something redeeming with GWB then took the ball away and we're right back where we started. Abandoned game.

I dont remember much of the 5th anniversary except that Linsey was ill....and that WiK started AFTER it.....did I miss something?

and yes I too feel a bit let down (for the 2nd year), and somewhat befuddled--especially with the silly friends list change.

I am happy about the pre-stuff and I might do the ONE new hm quest....razah--he already has a place as a rit in my lineup I am not going to change that now (too little tooooo late).
tonics???? why oh why? you cant even put them in your HoM, they take up just as much space as the minis--and heroes???

at this point I believe some of my mules upon reaching 5 will be deleted and start over so I can finally get a green bday mini (you'd think after 200+ tries I would have by now).....

but

I am happy they are still putting somekind of effort into the game since its still being played and LIVE (unlike its sequel). Yes, not everyone is happy about it, but the saying goes--you cant please all the people all the time--but you should try to please a good portion!

kind of reminds me of christmas and that ughly sweater--you know the one from whichever female relative--that you say 'gee, love it' and it never gets worn....well, 'gee I love this update'...

Either respond intelligently or don't respond at all.

I walked outside and the sun was not as bright as I thought it should be. Someone owes me an explanation.

No, you missed nothing - there was nothing new for the birthday update last year, besides new minis. WiK started around the same time (before it, if I remember correctly), but had nothing to do with it.

But since the fourth anniversary update was awesome, I think everyone expects that all the time.

Yup, checked the main site...WiK started in early April, about 2 weeks before last year's birthday celebration.

Ok so what are we complaining about. Not enough new content in the birthday update?

We have been told there are new things coming already in the interview before the Embark release.

This year already we have seen 2 major updates already and you want more?

Dervs got completely reworked and are now nearly viable in meta game.
We can now use 7 heros meaning the empty outposts of a 6 year old game is not an issue anymore.
We can put some money into the game and play with our own skinned heros.
We can meet up with people in an outpost that has the majority of NPCs in it that we will ever need.

Not to mention they are still working on bug fixes. They could have just called it a day. They could have decided everyone member working on GW is going to move over to work on GW2 but instead they have a few people still working on GW.

Admittedly the friends list update was a bit late coming as WoW Aion have had them for years but at least its something.

They have said that the new Hard Mode quest is the first of many, they are maybe new quests on the way and this is just the start.

Your complaining that after 6 years of no fees they haven't put in so much more.. :/
