Guild Wars 2

This is a serious suggestion. In today’s patch, a bug was introduced to an engineer skill, minefield. The skill isn’t very good so it’s not used by many players (I don’t use it), but for those that do, the bug is very serious.

My suggestion is this: do a hotfix for the bug. There are still a lot of significant engineer bugs left to fix, and getting an additional one in a patch devoted to reducing the number of bugs is poor PR. The engineer community is somewhat distrustful of the development team in general, since there are so many bugs still left. A hotfix would go a long way toward creating more happy, loyal customers.

On the april 30th patch, bugs were introduced to three important turret traits that rendered them useless (literally—they had no effects at all). Those three bugs were not addressed until the May 14th patch, and a lot of players became even more disgruntled than they already had been. If this bug takes another two/four weeks to fix as well, Anet will lose a real opportunity to build some consumer trust.

So if any Anet community people, or forum mods, happen to read this suggestion: just send it over to the programmers and ask them to address it in a hotfix. Keeping good PR will be easier if you spend a bit of time “lobbying” for your clients.

Nice work! That was really fast.
