Update:

Here's a statement from NCsoft: 

"We have not released an official launch date within 2012 as feedback from our closed and

 open marketing betas will help us determine an exact release date.

 We will release Guild Wars 2 when it is ready."

 

Possible evidence, not proof. Sorry to nitpick like that.

Cant find the link at the moment, but the ANet shareholder earnings report said that the game is on track to be released in the 2nd half of the year......June is still in the 1st half of the year, unfortunately, although 28th June is damn close to being the 2nd half ;)

That depends on whether they mean actual year or fiscal year.

yeah, thats discussed at lenth in the comments on that page.... anyone know for certain what NCSofts fiscal year is?

Theres just a few too many coincidences with the June 28 day now. Gamestop having it as the release date, the Football shirts with 28/6/12 on them and now the poster with the same date....hmmmmm

In reference to the thread that got locked, ArenaNet does not really follow the whole "game releases on a Tuesday" thing.

Guild Wars Prophecies released on a Thursday. Both Guild Wars Factions and Guild Wars Nightfall released on a Friday and so did the Eye of the North expansion.

Seems like ArenaNet also favors the end of the month release dates. Prophecies released on the 28th of April 2005, Factions on the 28th of April 2006, Nightfall 27th of October 2006 and Eye of the North on 31st of August 2007.

If the release date is NOT ANNOUNCED BY ANET....IT.....IS......SPECULATION.

 

 

That said, while it is certainly plausible that the game could be ready by June, I think it will be ready by the end of July or August.

Some spells, DE, general things that do not work properly

You are dreaming if you think this game will be ready by June or even July.

the technical issues alone are gamebreaking and deep rooted and at this stage they are struggling to eliminate them.

On top of that the game still doesn't use GPUs correctly and is CPU bound - you cannot release a cpu bound game and with months of work they have still not fixed it.

Aye some minor things, maybe, didn't see them, but nothing gamebreaking so far.  Their biggest concern right now might be optimizing the client. Which should allready have been prepared on the non beta servers, keep in mind that the open beta build is allready more then a month old. Internal testing and patching  has contimued, since they created the beta build.

28 June is still very much possible, there is enough hype to warrant enough attention.

But i personally think Ncsoft, will delay the release till after summer, late September/Oktober because thats better for financial reasons and chrsitmass sales.  But i would not be surprised with a late June release either. Espescially that weeken, since i will not be at home then and unable to play.

So, if this is true, Guild Wars 2 will launch on June 28th. For those of you who have played in the beta weekend and the stress test, here's my question. In your opinoin, do you think the game will be ready for primetime by the end of June?

Yes i think the game will be ready. If they can fix some of the login issues i really think the game is ready.

GPU optimization has to take place and can be done in under a month.

Exactly what deep rooted, gamebreaking issues are you talking about? With 45 hours of testing now, I haven't seen any.

I am also curious about these terrible, terrible issues you mention. Being CPU bound is not one of them, as this is one of the perks of the development stage. Optimization is one of the last things a company do, and it is (usually) a fast step.

I ask because I felt the game was in a VERY advanced build, during the last Stress Test.  I can see this game being released on late June without any major hassles.

yap. CPU bound isnt a big problem, if the rest of game in BW2 is almost bug free i dont get why they cant release nd June. and major bugs? tell me one. i just saw minor bugs, on necro class all spells were work 100%, traits have some bugged that didnt work, but this are minor bugs easy correct. in DE i didnt see any bug and in all world. 

with a i3 2120 + hd6850 i were playing WvW very smooth, in LA i have some problems, lag or fps drop (didnt have any fps program to see fps). 

im not dreaming, after i see and play BW1 i was really surprised how game was already polished, lets see how much better will be on BW2.

arenanet obvious is waiting for BW2 to see if they can give a release date or not.

for me just need correct some Necro traits and IA of minions  + CPU bound + give a better camera (+zoom out) and the game will be ready to lauch

IMO the game can be released on 28th June. I've played beta, to me seems very complete, no serious issues / bugs. So the game is actually finished, just ANet need to do some minor fixes.

I'd laugh if they released it on June 29th just to troll the retailers that are all quoting 28th.

That or the 26th, which is a Tuesday and a pretty common release day for games.

From what I have seen, the game is in a better state than most mmorpgs I have played at release. Optimization aside, and a few bugs fixes here and there, I would say the game could be ready by the 28th. I would be pleased with a release that early, though I am expecting more of a September-ish release.
