Guild Wars 2

I see so many negative topics around here, ofc it is good to note things that can be improved or added but it is also important to let you ppl know that your work on this game is very much appriciated! thats why i made this topic, thx for all the updates and thx for the most recent guild missions! it will make the game a lot more fun for guilds!

Hard work? lol, surely you jest?
The game has hardly changed at all since launch, and many of the changes that have happened have took the game in the wrong direction.

+1 Great job ArenaNet!

So far I really like this patch I’m looking forward to the guild missions which has boost life into my guilds community and it’s nice to see the changes in dungeons. I missed that whole novelty feel of new things. So thank you Anet for the hard work!

The new patch does look promising. Thank You ANet. I just hope the reward system will imrove for me – last few days I have been getting more junk than not.

Because fixing issues that existed since launch is “hard work”, yea.

Everything seems great imo especially class updates.

But the dc’s and broken areas are the negative side. But it’ll be fixed eventually i guess.

lol fanboys ~ This patch is already destroying the game, I expect someone to resign over this.

Yeah, I agree! + 10 Anet!
Wait…

I’m most certainly excited about the new content; regarding what people have been saying before me – every game has its issues and bugs, that’s just expected. So to be upset over the ones that are in GW2 would seem rather… Pointless. I may just be optimistic and trying to look at the bright side of things, but I really enjoy this game. It’s nice to sit down and play at the end of my day when I’m done working on whatever college decides to throw at me.

Yeah, i’m loving the new ranger buffs, especially on axe offhand, exactly what we needed!
Looking forwards for more buffs in the next few months, maybe underwater combat?

Really, as the first comment says, the game has hardly changed, so many bugs. And who the hell creates content, releases it, and you have to wait 3 days until you are able to play it. What the..??? Anet really has bad devs. Where is that GW1 logic? No grind, Awesome story, cool armors, well working economy, no bots, etc…

r u playing GW2? only thing i enjoyed since release is fractals. all other changes and patches r just anoying. anet did a rly bad job….

Generally speaking, it’s more appropriate to thank someone for good results rather than ‘hard work’? I’m sure they work hard and that there are many bright people there. But, I log in and look at the ugly bright plainness of my Foefires Essence without its awesome effects and I just shake my head.

Thank you Arenanet, for making the game better and better with every patch(true though some things do end up getting worse than better, but overall it is improvement).

My very special thanks to Jason King for fixing my Foefire’s Essence chain. You sir, rock like a Champion Earth Elemental
This proved to me that Arenanet even fixes tiny little details that one or two players requested, which means they really care for their community.

You could talk for days about how GW2 has one problem after another… in fact… we do. >.< HOWEVER, no game is without its flaws early on, not even when GW1 was in this phase of its life. This update did plenty to satisfy my Ascended item stat problem. If that is all this update did, I would have been happy.

However, they put so much time and effort into so many different brand new aspects that it is crazy to think that everything would work right off the bat. Making a game is no where near as easy and strait forward as people think. Things go wrong for no reason and seemingly unrelated problems effect something else, worse… game devs have to deal with us. But the biggest troubles is knowing how a user base will interact with the content. That’s why its so important for us to leave constructive feedback. Yes, a betrayal of ideals is a valid concern, nonetheless, saying “Anet really has bad devs.” doesn’t accomplish anything or help anyone.

Lastly, I have to disagree with you, GW2 has changed a lot since launch. And even though I complain on these forums… a lot…. I still appreciate all you efforts.Thank you for your hard work Anet!!!

-100. Hard work? They added new content sure. Its not bad.

But adding stuff is hard work? No.

Fixing broken stuff is even harder work and they have been skimping on that aspect forever.

Bugs are still rampant but that one is understandable.

However the code of the game itself is broken in areas here and there causing lags and DC for others, and for me and some, its constant crashing due to various reasons, personally mine being that the client is trying to do an animation that does not exist. These are the serious cases that warrant players boycotting gems.

Great patch! Good job ANet. The framework is established and it will only get better.

have you tried fixing issues in a game before? Surely you “must” know how easy it is…

I like the patch, many good fixes/improvements for many Professions, and more stat combos were (finally!) made available, even though of course they are still hard to acquire.

However, the way Guild Missions was implemented is quite the head-scratcher. I hope the Guild Mission team is open-minded enough to realize that their pet project is currently flawed, thus the mostly negative response-they should rework/redo it ASAP, IMHO.

I hate how they announced all this new content that is so gated-I feel bad for a Guildie of mine, as we were discussing with anticipation the upcoming Guild Mission content, just to find out we will probably forever gated out of it (no kidding you.) I will recommend him to join another Guild, but I know i won’t be doing that myself any time soon. It just doesn’t feel right to join another Guild JUST for Guild Missions (and it’s OK for me to feel this way, even if some of my readers don’t, because I am an individual entitled to my own values and opinions-respect mine, as I do yours.)

If it takes 6 months to fix stuff like the flamethrower not hitting objects or various flat out broken traits then maybe Anet should re-think their approach to coding the game.

Well I really like some of the updates and new stuff, alot of work has been put into this.

Not saying the forward thinking was great but its work in progress. Still in there and give them a chance.

Or is it?

Think the only part of the update i liked was the all pvp tournaments are free now they have come far with there balancing system making it seem like i could really get into actually play some tournaments pvp now since there is no fee a lose feels nothing more then a lose not a waste of money!
Oh also adding the back skins to the black lion chests very nice!
