The fun never ends with ArenaNet and the Guild Wars 2 team. During the Live Stream event with our own Pokket and Colin Johanson, the team posted a preview of what's in store for November. Following the stream, the most salient notes were posted over on the Guild Wars 2 Reddit.
Something stirs in the Sea of Sorrows…
Unravel a mystery of monstrous proportions in The Lost Shores, a massive one-time world event that will change Tyria forever!
The November Update will be much bigger than the Halloween Update. This is just the start of the beginning.
Teasers for the November Update (i.e. events) may show up as early as today
PvE
Wintersday confirmed for December.
November weekend one time event that'll change the world and introduce the new island map. (See the Lost Shores here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/november-2012/)
On the new map... a new dungeon! Really big, gets harder to farther you get in
The new island is not a full-sized map, it's a medium small map that will play out a storyline. Not intended for big end-game expansion. Island is meant for more fun content. The Dungeon is meant to be added to expand end-game.
New rewards not seen before will be available on island.
They will be adding lots of things to do (they want a good variety) at max level so you can log in and say "Oh I feel like doing X, Y, and Z today)
Dungeon rewards are being actively worked on right now, and are also trying to make dungeons more fun to play.

That's like asking for a PvE server in Planetside 2 or complaining that there's no friendly fire in Team Fortress 2. It won't work. It can't work. It will never happen. If it's a deal breaker for you, stop complaining and go elsewhere.
Duels will probably be included at some point, but if the game is boring to you without them, you should probably go elsewhere anyway.

I know cranky me, no power makes common over hyping in new mmo features that much more bleh feeling, specially when it's over saturated by a company, then again it seems that marketing ploy is helping them out a bit.
I review lots of indie games and MMORPGs
You posted in a PUBLIC Forum so yes you did ask for comments on your comments just by posting here....not saying your opinion of GW2 is wrong or right or whether his comemnt on yours is wrong or right,but a forum is by definition is a place to state opinion and have them discussed and argued and a PUBLIC forum means it's open to all nto jsut peopel of a certain persuasion.
The proper response is...who the hell are you to make such a demand to the developer?! If you don't like it leave. Play a game with the feature that you want.
Well said. Anyone buying the game expecting open world PVP didn't spend any time researching their purchase.
I'll reserve judgement on this update until I see it. A dungeon is meaningless to me. An island? I guess we'll see.
Any empty statement on improving endgame is also meaningless. They need to address this and do it faster than Blizzard did with D3. People only wait so long before writing you off.
I didnt expect anything. I preordered game, got everything i wanted and got bored. So since I like the game Im asking for it now. You guys dont like my idea, fine. Let ppl who like it have at least 1 beta open world pvp server and we will find out easy and fast if it will work out or not. I still want to play gw2 so I hope they will do the right thing.
A small new story mode island, a new dungeon, a new sPvP map.
Nothing that interests me much as a WvW player. With the removal of orbs of power in today's patch, and plenty of other issues that still exist in the game, this patch really has to add something solid to WvW for me to keep playing it.

lol Im hell of a customer lol. Smart business ppl listen to their customers.
How can you pretend to have open world pvp in Guild Wars 2 when there are no factions?
Fight everyone?
many other games do it that way? Actually its a blast, creates open world GvG

I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)
Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
Whats wrong with asking for different pvp server with pve maps? Or maybe ppl turning on/off pvp option or duels in pve areas? I guess for blinded fanboy's it's blasphemy. I wish they add different play styles as well and not only more of the same.
"We care so vary much about our lore, players, we really do."
"Oh. Yeah.. and there's this new island, we just discovered."
"Oh. Yeah.. we want to expand again... lost uh, trail to this uh...dark forest.."
"Oh. Yeah.. new continent!"
"Oh. Yeah,, undersea kingdom!" "Monster Isle!" "New planet!" "uh.. core, inside our world!" "Fantasy starships!"
MMOs expanding just create some silly-buggers. You gotta deal with it, if you want new stuff.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Maybe this finally will shut the people up who have been saying that B2P games cant add the same amount of free content as P2P games can.
This is at least as much as P2P games add.
Yeah, somebody should put a stop to it!
Where will it all end?!
