Why so many changes to everything BUT wvw?

#1 - Aug. 8, 2013, 4:03 p.m.

PvE patches every 2 weeks, some with pvp content.
Constant PvP changes, new maps, new lobby, constant ability/class balancing for pvp, tournaments, etc.

Meanwhile, a year later tower and keep takes are finally group events, and we get a new “mastery” ability every 2-3 patches from a list that someone designed 6 months ago. Wvw population constantly dwarfs pvp population yet we get crap. Where’s the love?

“It’s coming” is no longer a valid answer, because frankly that’s a load of crap.

New maps take a long time to be built. And even once they are built it takes a long time to get them tested until they are ready to be released. Rest assured, as soon as we can release new maps, we will. And, while it isn’t an entirely new map, you can look forward to some changes to the borderlands soon. Let’s just say you should get your krait killing in now.

As with everything, I’d love to give dates, but until everything is 100% ready to go, I can’t. Suffice to say they will be in as soon as humanly possible.

because people will be disappointed if they tell us about this cool feature which later gets taken out because it doesn’t work as intended.

This would be the main reason. Also, until things are actually completed, they are likely/liable to change. Rather than getting everyone up in a lather about things that aren’t ever going to be in the game, we keep a tight wrap on details until they are ready for release. With our release schedule, that actually tends to be pretty close to when you all see them in game, so we don’t talk about details until that point.
