Guild Wars - What's happening

Hey guys,
As you know, over the past few months we have been looking into fixing Guild Wars. This included more than just debugging and looking at minor improvements, but also exploring design changes in the mode that would improve player experience, make the mode more accessible, and reduce the server load on our side. Among other things, we looked to address the problem of being bound to the game for 50 minutes straight (and on weekends) and getting a great advantage on iOS vs Android, as well as high-end vs low-end devices.
With that said, unfortunately GW will not be coming back for the 3.4 update.
We've discussed and decided on the design and format of the mode, and as I mentioned in a couple of threads previously (here and here), for GW we require significant time and help from people outside of our team (people who have their own work, schedules, holidays). Due to this, the implementation part will take too long for it to be available for the next update.
It's true that GW was a priority for this update, but we also prioritized the upcoming Season 10, alleviating the grind, and more. For the winter update, this will be our top priority. I know many of you won't be happy with this news, but the upcoming update will have a lot of cool features and many improvements to the game that have been asked for.

We appreciate all the work you do keeping us players in the know and hope GW will still come back (and be better than ever).
It really is one of the coolest modes that has ever been introduced so I hope bringing it back is a priority!

For reference, I could score 850+ on iOS in a Guild War but 600 was my cap on Android. Broadly speaking, load times are waaaaay more optimised for iOS (even outside GW) so I'm assuming it would require a huge amount of work to recode the processes for Android.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm charged £9.99 for a bundle on my iPhone and £8.99 for the same bundle on my Samsung.
Thank you and NG for listening
I do hope when GW comes to life again to be better than anyone could've imagined
Allow us to reset the story missions from nightmare mode to extreme nightmare mode and start us at level 40 and take it to 50 to give us something to do. I’ll pay a gold fee for that. Revamp the missions to include all the new walkers and you got something better than the Distance. At least make the Distance harder too. It like a walk in the park And don’t stop us [email protected]$$ of the game. Someone call me when it’s fun again. Peace, Thee DoomSlayer is out.
