Bit of news regarding WvW stuff when HoT releases (From GW2 Forums)

Linky: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/wuv/WvW-and-the-Heart-of-Thorns-Release/first#post5609875

"Here’s what the Heart of Thorns release will look like for WvW:

1. On the morning of Thursday, October 22nd, WvW will be terminating without completing or updating Glicko ratings as normal. This will be the end of the classic (“Alpine”) Borderlands maps for the foreseeable future.
2. On entering the build with the new Heart of Thorns content, all of your spent WvW Ability points will be refunded. Recall these can be spent differently per character, and spending them on one character doesn’t spend them on any others.
3. WvW’s reset time will be changed to be 24 hours later in NA and EU. It will now occur on Saturdays instead of Fridays.
4. At the moment Heart of Thorns content becomes available, WvW will prepare its maps. Including the new Desert Borderlands map. There’s no guarantee the matchups from earlier in the week will be the same as the new ones (or that they’ll be different).
5. The new round will run until the new reset times on Saturday, then end and update Glicko ratings. After it comes up again, WvW will be running as “normal” except for the changed reset times and the new Desert Borderlands."

A week of "care-less fun" will be a good change of pace for everyone.  Change to Sat resets will be interesting.  Hopefully people will be more rested and in better moods, versus Friday night after coming home from a long week of work/school.

Free Date Night! Woo Woo! I might actually be able to lead a WvW Reset once in a while now! :)

Don't forget to grab the hero points off the classic Alpine borderlands maps before they are replaced.

The change from Friday to Saturday is a good one.   I guess I'll need to move my PVE night events to a different night.

Woohoo for Saturday night! :D

I can't wait to see the new borderlands and new mechanics. Woohoo! :D

I think Saturday night reset will be great.

Fym

Hopefully the matches will be a bit closer so that they are still meaningful on Saturdays. I don't play much WvW, but when I do, it is generally early weekend mornings.

Does this mean that all of the resets are now Saturday night? Will that introduce a conflict between raids and WvW?

Well, it's not going to be Saturday night anymore - https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/wuv/WvW-and-the-Heart-of-Thorns-Release/page/6#post5614578

"Immediately after launch the new time will be 11am PDT / 2pm EDT (6 pm UTC) for NA."

Then...

"Keep in mind that the following week with the end of Daylight Savings Time the reset times will be pushed even earlier to 10am PST/ 1pm EST."

So resets will now happen Saturday mornings. Hmm.

LOL /facepalm

Here we go again... hopefully for the last time - https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/wuv/WvW-and-the-Heart-of-Thorns-Release/page/13#post5617694

"Since it is clear that we cannot pick a time that will work for everyone, we will be maintaining our original plan of shifting reset by 24 hours, to Saturday evening. That time was based on data for when prime time occurs in each region"

So it's going to be Saturday Night Live! :D
