I play this game. This is the one that matters.

Wanna compare something? Compare every single year thus far and you get the following picture:

October 2012: Karagga's Palace, Explosive Conflict and Terror From Beyond
October 2012: Scum & Villainy, Dread Fortress and Dread Palace
October 2014: ZILCH

Also, consider the topic title:

Claiming that GSH is somehow supposed to be story-driven or cater to people who enjoy a story-driven experience or operations is just... I don't even have words for it.

My hope is that you're actually joking; Seriously.
The GSH part was just being funny, but is the actual story if you listen to the cut scene.

I found both adverts terrible.

Cringe-worthy, on par with this report by the Shroud, when all over the sudden he mentions the new Huttball arena on Quesh or whatever. I was like...

that doesnt excuse why blizzard(which you brought up) can actually make a plan and actually execute that plan. they can communicate in actual words(english ones) what is in that plan. the use change management to keep things in order. they beta test their software to keep quality standards up. bioware seems to fail at this.

you keep telling us that the supposedly massive update will be released this year. so far all they have released about it is delays.

It could be worse, bw could be making another game...ohoh.......more of the same

Difference between PR being delayed and stuff they've actually been working on being delayed.

So it's still coming this year unless said otherwise.

At least neither of them were voiced by Da Blum.

They have delayed the reveal of the expansion, not the expansion itself. Until stated otherwise it is scheduled to be released before year's end.

why are people bothering with an argument like this? its seems idiotic to speculate why they delayed the details on the new expansion, and it also seems pointless to measure each others virtual ***** on these forums by getting into a pissing contest with one another just play the game and gear ya chars to prepare for the new content and if ya cant gear ya chars anymore because ya are at max attainable gear for pve try pvp out if ya dont do any pvp on those chars and if youve only played one factions storys through to the end try the other factions theres plenty to do in game.. you can also work on your completion lvls for planets to get all the achievements and if ya can manage that ya really have bragging rights in this game... i guess my point is this... STOP ARGUING OVER POINTLESS STUFF! that is all take it or leave it i dont care... (it just sucks the fun out of a game when people are like this in them usually i try to avoid people like that.) and if ya are wondering why i bothered to respond to this thread its because it litterally pissed me off and i needed to vent (pun intended)

Just got done reading through all the posts. I did not expect this topic to recieve many replies.

To answer a few questions. People had to why i started the topic.

Mostly I just thought it was a significant milestone in the game. End game content being kept for such an extensive time has many implications, some negative if all you consider is the addtions to the raiding enviroment. I just never thought I had gone almost a year of no new content.

Am I bored of those two raids? yes, very much so.

Do I think bioware did nothing in 2014. No, they did plenty.

They invested a lot more time into expanding various elements in the game. most notably PvP, and in game housing.

Do I want them to release new content? Yes...who wouldnt.

Do I expect before 3.0? No, but I am sure I am not the only one who thinks a year is a little long to wait for additional content for raiding.

If you really want to take something away from this, its that this game is not being devloped for hard core players who run through content. Hell most casuals have probably been in DF DP in hardmode atleast once. Should you unsub becuase of it? I wouldnt just yet. I dont think the devs are going to go through another year like last, and they will probably focus more on content. This last year saw a lot of mini expansions, with arenas, GSF, and GSH.
