Guild Wars 2

What would really help in my opinion is that if there’s some preview a link will be posted on the official site (forums?) so we can watch it.

I know there’s a developer preview on the new skill balance somewhere, but I have no idea how to find it.

If you want to communicate better with your players, start there. Don’t make us guess where we can find information. Give us a link. Please.

I am pretty sure all videos are posted in GW2’s Twitch tv channel and/or GW2’s youtube channel.

No there isn’t. They said there would be, but all we got was a sPvP how-to instead.
The preview will be available like 12-18 hours right before the patch goes live, leaving no time for anyone’s opinions on their details to matter.

This is my main concern with the whole ‘Collaborative Development’ thing.

If there is going to be any kind of collaboration at all we need the information early enough in the process to provide feedback so that changes can be made before implementation.

However Anet keeps everything so close to the vest that they never speak of things unless they are certain to make it into the game ‘as is’.

These are diametrically opposed.

If our feedback can not be given enough time to actually make contructive changes to feature implementation, what’s the point ? Feel good vibes on the forums?

Time will tell…
