Guild Wars 2

So the changes that are coming with the “feature” patch are all great, long asked for QoL changes, but they aren’t features.

PvP Tourney’s are already in the game, not a new feature
Balance changes should be coming every week, also not a feature
UI updates are a good QoL change, but not a feature.
3 palette swaps on commander tags are a good start, but a lunch break QoL change
Dungeon ownership, a bug from launch that is finally getting fixed, not a feature.

So i’m just wondering if any new features are coming this patch? Precursor crafting? New races? new skills? new professions? new crafting skills? New game modes?

I love the changes we are getting, but they would be better labeled as “QoL” patches instead of “feature” patches. When you say feature patch and then only deliver QoL changes you get players really frustrated and angry, thus leading to the current state of the forums.

Perhaps renaming the patches to more accurately reflect what they are would help keep peoples expectations in line. I know most of my guild is very disappointed with what has been announced, even though all the changes were things they wanted, because they were expecting new features, so now the things they wanted are disappointments to them. And judging by the rest of the forum this isn’t an uncommon occurrence.

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe

J/K it’s just more materials grind

You should probably wait until week 3 is finished. I understand what you are saying here and much of what you say holds a good deal of merit but we haven’t seen all the posts yet.

Also I probably wouldn’t expect to see, class, races, or skills added this time around. Skills a BIG maybe and just plain no to the other two sadly. Precursor crafting would also surprise me a lot.

I wouldn’t expect to see classes or races ever. I think if they wanted to do that, they would have by now.

Maybe within a couple more years we’ll see significant additions to skills, but doubt it will be soon.

Pacing out the notes is just not a good idea. Its like boiling a lobster. You’re not going to have much impact this way. The changes individually don’t have the impact that releasing a big list of changes would.
