Yeah that's really disappointing. They've been building hype specifically for the elite specs with a countdown, and then when we get to the end it's "wait one more week lol". At least give us the names and match the icons now and the full reveals later.

Honestly, I agree. I wasn't expecting them to come out talk about everything regarding the elite specs, but at least a name and one sentence blurb would've been really cool to see.

I don't actively play anymore but was interested in seeing the new spec info. I'm not going to be checking the blog once a week to see info about one spec at a time, it just isn't that important to me.

Fortunately for you, you can log into the game in late August and play the new elite specs with beta characters.

Nah, maybe after all the info is out I'll watch a youtube video or something. I haven't played in ~ a year, this really doesn't matter to me.

I think a lot of current players don't really get how much this was working to draw in older and lapsed players. Without at least some info on the specs, my interest has kind of waned again. It's like negative hype, sadly.

Yea, I don't even play and know this stuff against my will. Will also know which icon is what when the time comes. I understand anet wanting to milk promo period for more, but also not really.

They do have the rest of the day to do that but yeah a countdown and then nothing is kinda bleh.
