Whoops, this is wrong! I put in the Beta announcement date rather than the Beta start date (9/30).
Both the regular estimate and the estimate including Beta dates predict 8.2 dropping on 11/5

Is there another roadmap post/image that gives any hints about 8.2 and beyond?
new immortal and pvp season, small bug fixes
The thing that will totally ruin GW is the fact that the devs seems to see no problem with higher level chars earning less VP per battle. And they will probably score GW this way.
So unless long time active players want to spend $$$ for the probable bonus fights/VP, they will be a hindrance to #1 guilds. (ofc lower level players can spend $$$ and force them out anyway)
Is there an expectation of GW in the 11/5 update?

Its a very high likelihood of no. Weāll be lucky to see it by late Spring 2025 and expect it to be its own update, something like Guild Wars Reborn or the likes.

They still havenāt found a way to monetize guild wars. Soon as they do weāll have it back

Okay, letās try this againā¦
8.2 dropped on October 28 (8 days earlier than expected).
The 8.3 beta will begin November 11. Update 8.3 is expected to drop on December 24 (likely a week or so prior to get in before the holidays).
With every update, this tracker becomes more accurate. Soon, it will be an unstoppable force of predictive power

I have a lot of respect for you and these forecasts. I couldnāt keep track of these things for as long as you have.
I expect there to be an update sometime in January. Somewhere between 5-7 weeks from now. There has been precedent it can be late, but thatās mostly due to backend issues.
I also expect it to do 2 things. 1: remove holiday music/assets. 2: insert data for the next campaign after the current one ends.
(Week 10 is January 13th)
February 1st would be kinda late for their campaign timingā¦
I get the feeling Campaign Seasons and PvP Seasons starting at different times is going to cause problems in the long run for the dev team since both need data uploads I think?..

Iām glad the update came out this year rather than after the holidays, but I was inwardly crying just a little bit that my crystal ball got a little dust on it 
Appreciate it! I find it kinda fun (ānerdieā rings trueā¦ ). I could totally see a smaller patch on January. I donāt think weāll get many full features until the end of January / early February.

8.4 beta will be starting February 10th.
This pushes the update out a few more weeks than originally expected. New expected date is February 23!

TBH, I suspect they are expecting the beta to not have anything game breaking, and release it around the 18th. That way they can run the new GW over top of Arena.
