what is the deal with guild wars

why is it there only updating guild wars now like only twice a month it seems as if that is there some thing going on here there not telling people or are they just to busy working on the mythical guild wars 2 that there not talking about.

Maybe some of the employees also to summer vacations lol. Also I'm pretty sure their busy with GW2. Don't think their ganna do much with the current gw. To busy making GW2 perfect.

There is supposedly only one developer working full-time with GW. Everyone else has shifted priority to GW2.

to me everything has been going down hill with guild wars since gale left and then starting in june when were only get 2 updates a month i guess i was just spoiled for first 3 years with the weekly updates

Give them time. With limited people working on GW, you're not exactly going to get an update every week. And Anet can't exactly afford to higher a whole new staff to work on GW2 while the current people all work on GW. All you can do is be patient.

As for the 'mythical' GW2 comment. Give them time, the game is still in it's first year of development. Not exactly a lot to see within the first year.

its been a over a year since they announced guild wars 2 actually

They had two development teams. I think they made a mistake announcing GW2 and then putting both teams on that project as soon as they did. They should have left one team developing a final chapter or expansion after EotN while the other worked on the preliminary stages of GW2 development. We'd be playing some sort of new content right now, and they could have waited a bit to announce GW2, announcing this new final chapter instead. This way they would have avoided our having no new content for a year as well as no new news either. And counting.

Who knows though. Maybe some news is right around the corner.

I am still waiting for the rest of the skills that were changed in the name of PvP to be split like the others, but I like it that things seem to have plateaued for a while.

I might have to start using this more often:

They're too busy to care as much as they used to.

2nd thread about this this week, must be a popular subject.

most likely since its summer people are taking vacations....

last update was over two weeks ago.

there are some of us out there who like to see the game changed every once in a while. sad but hopeful players who appear jaded but simply miss the times when they used to have fun.

Well certainly yes, whatever second-guessing might be made of their announcement timing, as well as the end of significant new content, right now there's no denying GW is in its end state and is being maintained with occasional updates, while all of Anet's focus is squarely on GW2. I wouldnt expect any significant news for 18 months or maybe even more, counting from when they started, which is still around six months away at the minimum. We're in a holding pattern until then. Enjoy the refreshments.

Wow i dont get why you guys all seem to think that you can't enjoy the game just because it isn't updated every week...think of how many games there are that are NEVER updated and only get changes when a new expansion comes along. If you are bored of the game, stop playing for a while...QQing on forums constantly will not help

There were actually more updates this month... then there were the first two months GW was released.
Quit your unsubstaniated trolling. /reported as rant/doom and gloom thread

I'm thinking of those games, and they are alot funner than GW. Seriously, people are running out of fun things to do.

They wont do much more with GW GW is a online role playing game, I would put it in the same category as Monster hunter and Champions of norrath. You get what you get out of the box, The most they do is fix glitches/bugs and stuff like that but no major content updates or anything like a real mmo. Basically you got what you are going to get from this role playing game. Enjoy it. And wait for GW2, Which is proclaimed to be a real mmorpg.

I'm not sure about MH and CoN, but Guild Wars is competetive.

I do hope that they do something about the crap that's remained in the game for so long though. (Yes, Dervsmite, I'm looking at you.)

IMO the game is much better when it is finally not being messed around with frequently.

Back 5~20 months ago, there were skill-nerfs after skill-nerfs after skill-nerf after skill-nerfs after skill-nerfs...
The game was so unstable to even play, let alone developing strategies and counter measures for anything.

Summer vacation sounds like an good excuse for me

Oh goodie, looks kinda like a nerf QQ to me.
