Guild Wars 2

I made the same topic on reddit during the downtime, and since many comments suggested that the same should be asked here, I’m making this thread.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3rikgw/patch_note_suggestion_for_anet_devs/

Like the reddit post, basically I think it would be a good idea to besides posting the patch notes on the official forums, Anet devs could post them as well on reddit, or as comments suggested on the Launcer, often patches will make the forums go down for 30m or more, if there are more ways to obtain said patch notes the influx on the forums would go down during them, making them less likely to go down.

They also desperately need to add a known issues section so players know what problems/bugs they are aware of and which have been fixed but not mentioned in the patch notes.

For example: No rewards for VB completion when character has Tyria 100% – Updrafts in final story chapter not working etc etc Have these things been fixed? Are Anet aware of them and are working on it or do they not even know about these things?

Better communication needed all round.

The thing though is that many Anet devs actually reply on reddit as well, the map rewards is something they have mentioned on reddit, and are actively working on

Yes and thats the problem them respond on reddit instead of their own forums

They need to use a real bug tracker, so that when people submit bugs, they can check if it already is submitted. The bug forums just get so many reports, repeated reports, and spam that it is mostly useless to know if the developers actually know about all the bugs. It also is bad that the forum search is just broken, so the bug forum is just a mess.
