Colin Johanson recently revealed that there will be a massive content update in November! 

"In the short-term we’re currently focused on adding a massive wealth of additional content and features for players to do in the game using the players core skill-bar, which you’ll start seeing in the Shadow of the Mad King update in October as well as our massive November release."  

Heres the link to the full post https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/gw2/Perpetual-bar-brawl-what-happened-to-it/first#post484985

I'm officially excited!

I love the skill system in Guildwars2, the only problem I feel is a lack of progressions with the weapon skills (other than player skill, of course). Now, I don't know what they have planned for skills, but I am excited, very excited. I have started to lose interest in GW2, but Anet has managed to recapture my attention with the promise of better loot, more content and improvements to skills. Let's hope all of these promises will come to fruition  sooner rather than later :)

Yea I kinda wish they would add a system similar to the utility bar for the weapon skills so I can select which weapon skills I want after I've unlocked them.  This would add alot more variety and a lot more unique builds.

While I get that being able to customize your specific skills for each weapon, I don't see Anet doing this as the main point of having each weapon having set skills was for balance - Being able to pick your skills would make it balance hell, imo of course. But you never know.

Branching off of that though, having multiple skill sets for one weapon - as in, an axe would have it's regular 3 skills it has now, but if you switched weapons skills, the 3 skills would become a different set of 3 skills (perhaps one skill set would be more offensive, and the other would be focussed on control). 

Even something like a seperate trait system (Weapon Traits) that allowed you to customize some of your weapon skills. 

Just a couple of ideas. Hyping myself up a bit, but a man can dream can't he ;)

This is the only thing that matters here IMO.

Hmmmm...

Been a few hours now. Where are all the regular " it's B2P which means no new content because only sub games get new content regularly" , etc trolls?

Glad to hear theyre looking into adding some new stuff, especially in reference to endgame and PvP. Was planning on getting back into the game a bit again for the halloween events. Hopefully theyll get these November updates in before DFUW launches so Ill have more time to check out the new stuff before I get wrapped up in that.

Considering what i've learned to be ArenaNets definition of massive since i bought the game, november will probably bring one dungeon, and a few new DE's.  If we're lucky we'll get another zone with quests and such, but that will last a week at most for the casual player. So, yeah. not impressed.

I åöayed both GW1 and EQ2 for 5+ years. Cant say that EQ2 added more free stuff during that time. But GW2 do need an expansion or 2 to really do it, just like any MMO no matter the model. Particularly do it need to add Guild Vs guild and some more high level PvE zones.

they've said in the past GvG isn't going to happen in GW2 because they want guilds to focus more on WvW and plan on adding more guild features to WvW..

I read somewhere they were working on a dual-trait system, or something similar to saved builds in GW1.  I'm not entirely sure though, but they were working on something to that effect.

REALLY hope so has its's probably my biggest issue with combat right now.. really need to be able to save multiple builds

You know the best part, you thought you made some kind of witty repartie to my comment, but all you did is highlight exactly why the game isn't worth playing. With no monthly sub they have no impetus to deliver quality content updates.  They can easily just string the playerbase along with BS tiny updates and keep spinning it to milk players out of microtransaction money with out actually delivering the goods... touché
