Guild Wars 2

Wow! i am often a kittenhead also on this forum, mostly about balancing.
I often feel that i get less on my main warrior.. and dont give much about other classes..
I know .. i know it shouldnt be like that..

I the end i have a great time in this game! my greatest + point with gw2 is the fighting mechanic! its so kitten nice! there is no other game that gives me this much combat feeling like gw2 does.

But reading this http://www.killtenrats.com/2015/06/18/gw2-lash-and-love/
And the amout of negative feedback on this forum, is even making me sad.. even i feel kinda responsible for this.

Sorry Anet, ignore me or anyone like me if it does hurst.

Keep up the good work, we will buy HOT because the game is great!

agreed. Please keep working as hard as you have on this game. You’ve made great progress. The quality of the story has gotten better. The combat of the game has gotten better (and is about to get ALOT better on Tuesday.). And the game feels like it gets that little bit deeper with every content update.

I really want to keep playing to see where it all goes. And I will. Keep it up.

This really is kinda the core of it. Think about how this forum blows up like an incendiary mine over something that doesn’t cost them a kitten cent. Of COURSE this forum (and the GW2 Internet presence as a whole) was going to go up in flames the moment they were asked to pony up the $$$, and it really wouldn’t have mattered what that price tag was or what was included in it.

People were GOING to find SOMETHING to complain about, and they were going to complain about it very loudly. Ignore the brats and keep working at it.

If they’d stop dishing out things like the first trait system redesign and the NPE, among other such things, perhaps much of the negative feedback would disappear.

I tip my hat to you for owning up to this.

GW2 really is the best community I’ve encountered, even after all the gripes and vitriol over the latest marketing move (which, I’ll be honest, is understandable).

Sure, ANet make mistakes (a lot of them, apparently), but gkitten it, they’re trying to do something new and different, so I applaud the effort.
Even if their vigor for these changes leaves them shortsighted to the implications that players can spot a mile away. >_>

But, I assume any MMO is going to have a rocky start in its first two years. I’m sure WoW wasn’t any different. ESO certainly didn’t change that thread. Neither did Star Wars or Warhammer. And FF14 really didn’t buck the trend, until it completely changed the entire game.

So yeah, if GW2 can survive this latest debacle, perhaps we’ll be laughing about this in a few years, when another expansion is on the way (and hopefully marketed better).

Thanks for the positive note, OP.

The main problem in my opinion is that they will punish veterans for for pricing the same for new players which will have the game and expansion together. They really must add an option to purchase only the expansion to become more viable. At least they should put a discount to buy the game + expansion, but not force every one to buy both.

I’m not sure if I’ll buy the game because the $50 dollars is really expensive for me because I don’t live in the US and the conversion will make really expensive. Sadly there is no support to sell GW2 in my country. Also I’m little frustrated with the Guardian changes and the new Ascended equip will be mandatory.

But I’ll try the new changes to see if the game really becomes more fun, which is most likely. At least for me, all classes other than Guardian, in my opinion all classes did a step forward, but Guardian went backwards.
