Guild Wars 2

My thoughts is that this is a suggestions subforum and I don’t see a suggestion here.

Lol, sorry, will delete and move post.

Have a read of this. Specifically:

Take risks

“Let’s try it.” You hope to hear that phrase at the end of a meeting, especially if that meeting was contentious, or if the idea discussed is new and radical.

Imagine a playground full of kids playing. At its best, playing is making mistakes in a safe environment and learning from those mistakes in a way that encourages growth. Trying out new ideas or making drastic changes is the way we as designers get to play with the game. It’s where we slip and fall, scrape our knees, and otherwise monkey around on the jungle gym. While we don’t try out every idea, we use our collective experience to get a sense for what has promise—what we should follow down the rabbit hole. We look at where our ideas break, how they break, and why they break. You can see this in how we redesigned the sylvari, or in how we have developed the professions. They’ve all undergone quite a bit of transformation over the last few years as we have tried out different approaches and learned from those very playful experiences.

Purpose: To reinforce our general design culture of iteration. You can’t innovate in an environment that is averse to failure. You must embrace the risk of making mistakes. At the end of the day, if something doesn’t quite turn out the way you wanted, it’s not failing, it’s playing—and you grow for having done it.

Ascended gear was ANET following that golden rule. They won’t promise that they will or won’t add new tiers yet because they still have data to collect from the Ascended gear experiment.

They said that they won’t add more tiers betweens legandary and Ascended this year. That doesn’t mean that they are adding it next year. You are twisting that commentary.

They can’t say “we will never add new tiers” because the game is constantly evolving. Saying that would be a bad idea just because we don’t know how the game would be in years.
