Infos on the Real game Direction? WHEN?!

[Andrell]

OP is right we need more info! In comparison before guild wars 2 came out I could read detailed Dev blog post explaining the intended mechanics, ethos & direction of the game, they even have manifesto video explaining things and giving a good overview of of the game, now after the initial debacle and backslash during Tanaka's reign SE have made a conscious effort to connect more with the community and present more information and I commend them for that, however i still feel we are not being given enough information which is disappointing and more then slightly worrying.

One other thing people have to consider is the perspective of the "new player" in regards to this game. As 1.0 player I feel I have a link to more information outlets then new player would and yet a still starved of much of the "meaningful" information I would like to see. As a 1.0 player I can appreciate the screenshots and fun blog post but I feel as though this things are far less impressive to the uninitiated (which SE wants to attract). It is disconcerting to know less about a reboot of a game you played for a couple years then you did about completely new title.

Having said all that I know Yoshi P is gearing up for the media tour and also preparing a commentary video and with us being so close to the beta it is almost redundant to complain about such things but for the future of this game I think it would benefit SE more if they were far less conservative with the details they give out and generate and greater anticipation (among other things) for the game.
