Guild Wars 2

Don’t get me wrong Living story is great and all, but it seems that a lot of the game seems half done.

-Useless and Debug icons on environmental items.
-Tonics w/o brawler skills.
-Underpowered skills.
-Unfinished/Inaccessible areas. (why do we go Citadel to Diessa from the main gate but leave through the door to haunted nolani, and where is the main gate in Diessa?!?)
-Game crashes and disconnects.(doesn’t happen often, but many other games have better records.)
-Counterintuitive party window(Why do we need a join and invite?)
-Buggy invite system(right click report only bug)
-Missing Bonus games( bar brawl, polymock, moa racing)
-animation bugs(moving while frozen)
-underwater combat
-Ebonhawk organ still buggy.
-Long term event rewards. (reward merchants, events that change the state for two minutes before it reverses)
-bandaid fixes on many issues. (Guild yaks)
-Zhaitan…

I probably can think of many more, but this is just off the top of my head. I even left out several that where more suggestions than polish. I’m sure many reading this can think of more.

I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that the game doesn’t seem very polished. So, can we have one or two of these monthly updates be less on new content and more getting everything working.

Let’s shine this game till I can see my refection in every yak’s..eerr nevermind… but you get the idea. ^_^

The one area where polish is the most needed is the one thing you didn’t have on your list…broken/bugged traits. Nine months after release, the fact that traits (Scope comes to mind) still don’t work at all is bad.

“Polish updates” don’t lead to gem store sales, though, so we’re not likely to see one anytime soon.

Initially no, however a polished game attracts more people, and more people means more gems sold.

Not only that I’m sure there are many people out-there that have quit GW2 because of something (or a culmination of things) that need polish. Gem sales are not only about a shiny new toy. You gotta get em playing first to fork over the cash

Yes, you are correct. However, if an update came out that “fixed all the things that should have been fixed since launch,” that wouldn’t attract many new players.

I just went through the game updates since January (I didn’t go back any further) and each of them has bug fixes, improvements and polish. Among many other things, so I guess they try to do something to please just about everyone. =)

I believe i read somewhere from someone who was in beta that the trait system was last thing implemented before release, so didnt get much testing.

Anet said they are going to be going over traits and redoing some, so why fix something bugged that may not be there in the future?

The problem is, so many “fixes” seem to bring more bugs. (For example, the Total Transformation Kit killed the glow on my Sylvari. They finally fixed it – after two attempts – but now she has “Lazy Eye”, a condition which hasn’t been addressed yet.)

PLEASE devote an update or two only to fixing bugs. LOTS of bugs. We know that you probably have a bug fix team that is completely separate from the Living Story team, and the many, many other teams. But when you proudly highlight and point to all the NEW stuff in a game update, that makes it seem like the REPAIRS aren’t getting the attention they deserve.

If they listen the players and stop doing useless puffy backpack, less gems item and temporaly content maybe, just maybe they can fix 75% of all the bugs around.

Community need a stable game, no a gambling parade.

I think this is a key fact to remember when posting on these forums. This game caters to casuals, so the kinds of issues that are of concern to the majority of those posting on the forums are unlikely to even be noticed by the kinds of players who most often frequent the cash shop. Issues like the Engineer scope trait are not money makers.

Yeah…see? People want stuff now, not later. It has to be fixed now or more stuff now. Faster faster faster.

I see complaints everyday why something isnt fixed or added, whats taking so long, etc. So look at my list, the ops list, the bug forum or any forum. Complaints everywhere asking for something. Plus the teams own ideas they want to implement. Plus, they want to stay committed to a patch a month.

So, as i said. Fix everything and balancing everything while adding new content within a month’s time. I want to see someone do it.

In case you didn’t already know, the people working on “useless puffy backpacks” and temporary content and not the same people who work on bugs. I’ll bet that little nugget just blew your mind, huh?

What do polish people have to do with updating Guildwars.. ?

This thread needs more sausage.

Something wrong with the Polish language version of the game?

I think before they add skins and believe me I’m all for new skins for karma (and only karma) they need to go thru every single class forum and address/eliminate each and every bug/design flaw. They need to start in the three weakest classes for PVE and go thru and fix these classes first so they are easily on par with all of the other classes in PVE.

Engineer, Ranger, Necromancer.

Then they can work up from there but only if they are finished with these long lists of bugs in these classes.

Then they need to remove culling from PVE. Then improve drops across the board for events that way people aren’t farming the same ones or trying to exploit because the loot is so terrible in this game. And/or add them to the bags one gets from the trees. (lodestones etc)

Then they need to retro people the laurels they’ve already achieved.

Then they can continue to do more content.

“Polish update now available in the gem store for 1800 gems.” (Available for a limited time only)

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprise if they did something like this

I wouldn’t be surprised either. It would be a backpack or something with a bottle of polish hanging out the top.

How many Polish people are needed to update Guildwars..?

blablabla lots of nonsense…

You have one month. Go.

You’re completely missing the point of the OP, and the ones who answered to him. We don’t need NEW stuff. We need for the ACTUAL STUFF to work properly. For bugs existing since the release to be fixed.
Especially for people playing a lot of WWW and SPvP. They don’t care about new content. They want the existing one to be fixed, and to work as it should.

You’re just making this conversation deviate from its purpose, so refrain from posting your nonsense, thank you.

They have done a ton of polish though. Half of the skill points were bugged at the beginning of the game. Half the meta events would stall at a point. There were tons of graphical glitches (i.e. background going blue when facing a certain angle.) while many item icons have received updated icons (i.e. priory weapons now have unique icons.)

They are fixing this game, slowly but surely. You can’t simply ignore all the improvements they have done in the game.
