    Lazy.

     

    Um.... if its right off in the open, what would laziness have to do with anything? It would be right there to see. My point is it is NOT out in the open. The closest thing to updates is the left bit but much of that is just articles which is mostly propaganda stuff (Which is fine, games are alowd to do that). Most recent patch I did today and no news story about that at all.

    Try this - it is on the front page of WIKI it is called PATCH NOTES - http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_status_updates

    Holy crap! Are you really comparing the launch of an expansion to a small patch that is mostly bug fixes? Really?!

    No, he's comparing the launch of an expansion to the launch of a game, and the fact that I bet that after MoP is launched, and mmorpg.com talks about nothing but it for a few weeks afterwards, if ghostcrawler announces a small patch that's mostly bug fixes it will also be reported as news.

    What can men do against such reckless hate?

    Man if you can't HONESTLY see the patch notes on the login screen, top left, then I don't know how anyone here can help you.

    Blizzard just had a Developer Q&A, it was really long and they answered dozens of questions.


    Why didnt that get posted as "news" here by the MMORPG.com staff?


    WoW also had a minor patch a few days ago. It was mostly just bug fixes and balance adjustments.

    Because MoP hasn't been released yet and won't be released for over a week. I bet blizzard news will start ramping up the few days before MoP is released, and stay in the spotlight for a few weeks afterwards... :)

    Oh, I see, so its only AFTER Mists of Pandaria is released that all of the small patches will be detailed as "news".


    So, this "gotta report on every little thing" only lasts a few weeks?


    GW2 launched 3 weeks ago.

    GW2 launched 3 weeks ago.

    Exactly... that's how news work. Right now GW2 was just released so it is the big news, and anything about it will be reported, once MoP releases, GW2 will fade back a little and MoP will be the big news and again, anything about it will be reported as news.

    Happens all the time, just look at the media frenzy with the canibal attack in Florida sometime ago... it was the only thing that all news talked about for a while, and suddenly every little bit of information even remotely related started to appear in first pages and on featured stories, even things that in other times wouldn't have been considered newsworthy, while other things maybe just as or even more important were relegated to secondary status or not even reported at all. It's how all news media work, there's one item that's the big news and every little thing about it is reported because it's expected to be what people want to hear about. Companies (like Anet) knows it and they're just doing their best to keep their products in the spotlight for as long as they can.

    BTW, My guess is that you'll start seeing a ramp up on MoP and Blizzard related items next week (though GW2 is still recently released and the review is due to come soon, so it'll still be on the news) with an almost all blizzard related news after release on the 25th.

    What can men do against such reckless hate?

    Succesful media instruments will focus their news on whatever is generating the most buzz. Thanks to everyone talking about GW2 and reading its news even if you hate the game (or hate it because some people love it too much), it generates enough attention (aka traffic and revenue) to keep small news like this important enough to be reported as a news post.

    Every time you log onto the game and if auto play is not preselected, you'd see " state of the game" posted there. If you read it you'd see that arenanet posts All and any game update there.!

    He, he, ... enjoying it a lot. Mesmer on the other side, terribly bad dps. Impossible, compared to others. Ok, ok, ... somebody can say ltp, ... but have learned well and playing without all other classes but mesmer. As altholic will still play him, but is my least preferred.

    I kinda like the mesmer for pvp, for pve its quite annoying with your clones disappearing all the time imo. :/
