Guild Wars 2

Hi Devs, Community,

I was wondering if introducing “Week of XYZ profession” could brind some good to interaction between players who report important bugs and mechanic issuses in character classes and Devs.

“Week” is an example, it can be 2 weeks or a month.
This way after declaring “This is a month of a Ranger”, 90% of Dev manpower (who work on professions of course) will concentrate on fixind and improving Ranger class and will spend a lot of time communicating with community, presenting changes, discussing about our suggestions and talking about their ideas of future changes.

It could work with WvW, SPvP, dungeons, events, bosses (I hope).

I wish I could +1 this more. Yes! That would make everyone quite happy, knowing that their profession isn’t just 1 of 8 but rather 90% of the dev focus for the week (or more). Forum interaction and balance focus would be amazing.

As long as the community could remain civil (I have my doubts), I think this could be a good thing.

Thank you
Myself I would be very happy to know that a lot of work is being put into improving profession even if I don’t play it and by seeing that it is working out great, I’d be waiting impatiently for my turn

This would be awesome sure but I don’t know how practical, since no profession exists in a vacuum.
You can’t focus on balancing one profession at a time because it would then be adjusted again when you get to the next profession and the next.
The professions need to be balanced with each other in mind., while keeping the unique flavour of each.
I do think that more resources should be devoted to balancing/ given a higher priority.

It’s quite obvious that one profession cannot be balanced without others
What I suggested was a way to organise fixing of professions or other aspects of the game.

Getting to the point that all classes are well balanced requires a lot of effort (assuming that it’s even possible) and apart from having PTR a go I don’t know a good way to thoroughly test any change.

Most important thing that I’d like to be there is continuous discussion of Devs with the Community.
