…for allowing us to buy without warning us. For those of you who played beta, where were you the first two weeks after launch, when all you saw spewing on these forums was sunshine and rainbows. Where were the “lack of progression” posts then, or the “Orr is a heaping pile.”

Granted, the DR came out after launch, not during beta, so we couldn’t get fair warning about that. But the “lack of reward for PvP”, the “boredom of DE”, the “bugs and the unbalanced mess” that you guys are detailing now….what, there were no bugs in beta? No progression-less feeling while you were testing?

Personally, I think this game is crumbling quickly, from what I’ve experienced, from the ghost-town my server is becoming (full is just a word. Without the stat behind it, its meaningless. I can flip a server flag to say full as well). My apology request is just an absurdity. I’m not really looking for one. What I do mean is I think its important that we as players start to vent our frustrations more during beta, so the public can make a better informed decision.

- We need to show these developers we are not putting up with bug-ridden, passionless mediocrity.

- We need to show them by no longer pre-ordering. This pre-ordering has given publishers freedom to churn out whatever they want in whatever state. What does it matter when you’ve already sold a million copies.

- We need to show them by expressing how if certain systems are not fixed by launch, we won’t be purchasing.

- We need to help them understand that if they want a successful mmo with a large community, they need to stop making games just to their satisfaction. You need to satisfy your fans in order to keep them.

I think we just need to express our dissatisfaction earlier, because then we as consumers have more power over the situation. After the fact, when they already have our $, its much harder to get our voice heard.

Let’s be brutally honest here, how many beta ‘testers’ actually test? Most people tend to view the beta testing period as early access and thus only a tiny portion of players actually report and actively test things out. Internal testing was likely done as well, though that can only cover so much.

Let’s not put all the blame on Arena Net.

Beta had limited access. We weren’t allowed to go to orr. Skillpoints / DEs weren’t then bugged because there weren’t this many players etc. I think you need to reword your post.

from up here on my soapbox I can only see a trickle of fanboy out there. So I think the use of “we” as majority is quite appropriate.

And we need to do a better job of testing, not just using it as an early access peek.

Has this game launched in korea yet? If not I suspect I know why… korean consumer laws are pretty interesting… false advertising doesn’t go well there and the sellers are obligated to allow refunds of products that are falsely advertised.

I love the game, so go speak for yourself. Can’t read any of those stupid posts anymore. If you are not satisfied and have no constructive criticism to post, go away, seriously. It is extremely boring and I would consider your post spam at this point.

And I am not saying this because I am a fanboy (although I am), I am saying this because your post is useless and clutters the forum with your personal opinion that you are trying to say everyone has, which clearly isn’t the case.

excellent post. well before the betas i called that this game was going to have some MAJOR issues. during the betas, i also called it by saying that they were hiding issues/parts of the game (not for keeping it as a surprise when we play) but to actually make sure people wouldnt burn through the entire game in 3 beta weekends, 4 stress tests to realise what we all know now.

that the game was already broken, that the systems they used to talk down to every other mmo on the market actually worked out to be far worse than what is currently on offer.

thats why we couldnt beta test higher than level 30 zones. and as a result, look at all the issues:
- poor loot rewards
- ridiculously overtuned and shoddily presented dungeons
- broken storylines
- bugged storylines/DE’s
- now the introduced DR
- no authentication
- no ability to roll back characters if accounts are hacked (i have the wording in an email as proof)
- massive server queues for WvWvW
- basically arcade type spvp, which, i think Doom multiplayer did a better job at rewards (yes, doom had no rewards, and it still was better multiplayer)

on a final note, notice how all the butt kissing anet was doing prior to launch has all but evaporated in now replaced with north korean control over a game they simply cant control?

this is like gw1 economy on steroids.

oh well, i apologise on my behalf for failing as a beta tester. clearly me doing my vids on youtube, voicing my opinion on forums wasnt enough, as was shot down, threatened with all for voicing the very facts we now see at the mess known as Guild Wars 2.

and Arenanet had the NERVE to talk down to WoW, an 8 year and THE most successful MMO of all time.

Where were the “lack of progression” posts then, or the “Orr is a heaping pile.”

I don’t get this. Arena Net made it perfectly clear up front that there would be no progression in this game once you reached 80, except for the skin grind. So why should anybody “spoiler” this on the forums?

Granted, the DR came out after launch, not during beta, so we couldn’t get fair warning about that. But the “lack of reward for PvP”, the “boredom of DE”, the “bugs and the unbalanced mess” that you guys are detailing now….what, there were no bugs in beta? No progression-less feeling while you were testing?

These post were there, just not here in the official forums but on all the community sites.

- We need to show these developers we are not putting up with bug-ridden, passionless mediocrity.

- We need to show them by no longer pre-ordering. This pre-ordering has given publishers freedom to churn out whatever they want in whatever state. What does it matter when you’ve already sold a million copies.

- We need to show them by expressing how if certain systems are not fixed by launch, we won’t be purchasing.

I mostly agree with you on thest poinst. In general, I don’t think GW2 is that bad.

- We need to help them understand that if they want a successful mmo with a large community, they need to stop making games just to their satisfaction. You need to satisfy your fans in order to keep them.

Here I completely disagree. Games should never be designed to satisfy the crowd. Game designers should instead stick to their ideas and dreams and be honest about them. If people like it, they will play it. There is no need to reach for the highes player count or anything like that, being a niche product is fine.

I think we just need to express our dissatisfaction earlier, because then we as consumers have more power over the situation. After the fact, when they already have our $, its much harder to get our voice heard.

Correct, but that’s not on the pre-purchasers. If you don’t know enough about a product you just shouldn’t buy it on release day. Wait a few weeks, read the forums and watch the gameplay videos on youtube an co. If you don’t like what you see, don’t buy the game. Purchasing something on release day and complaining afterwards is just stupid.

Beta weekend events were extremely successful in generating a lot of hype and helped a lot with the marketing there’s no denying that. However, seeing as it was just a weekend and they always stated that characters would be wiped, I can’t speak for everyone but that gave my friends and I incentive to not dive too far into the game. Besides, not everyone wants to spoil their experience before the game even launched. We spent the majority of our time testing out builds in sPvP that we’ve been theory crafting for awhile. As a result, most of our reports fell in the bugged skills/traits section which is equally as important as content bugs in the game.

Do I want there to be less bugs in the game, who doesn’t? But the fact is, many areas weren’t even available for beta testing. The time constraint and structure of the beta events meant a majority of the content went untested. An oversight? Possibly, but kitten bugs are bugs, be patient with it. If they made beta events a more permanent phase before the game launched would that have helped? Most likely, but there’s also good reasons for against doing that.

In fact, other than this horrible mess they call the DR system, I find the game overall to be very polished. I do have slight annoyances here and there but the DR is the only true legitimate complaint I can have.

I smell the acrid scent of desperation whenever I see someone posting about how the game is doomed to fail. It just baffles me that these people feel so much hatred for GW2 and yet still remain, arguing and posting about it.

The game certainly has a few issues to smooth out, though they’re nowhere near as deadly as alarmists like to make them out to be.

Actually using “we” as a call to action for like minded folks is perfectly appropriate. Don’t spoil it by claiming you and like minded folks are in the majority. Unless you’ve somehow got a list of everyone that plays GW2 and taken a survey of a statistically significant sample of those players, then, by all means go ahead. I don’t know if the disgruntled are many or just vocal, so I’ll just stick to what I do know, which is my opinion.

I’m happy with my pre-purchase, bugs and all. I had a blast in the beta and I’m still having a blast now at level 75 on my main. I haven’t done a single boring thing that I didn’t want to do to get there. I didn’t farm at all. I just played.

I feel that ANet has made a game they can be proud of and I feel that the dev team is responsive to player concerns. Every change I’ve seen them make since the first beta has been in the right direction for me and how I like to play. I’m still highly recommending the game and have already turned a couple of my co-workers into similarly avid players. I did warn one co-worker off, because it wasn’t his type of game and he probably wouldn’t enjoy it.

I logged in to the forums to send them a little “thank you” for changing things around near Sleekfur encampment to drive off the bots. There are a lot of annoyances, but every time I log in, I notice a little bit of progress, and there’s still plenty to do (for me, and how I like to play) that allows me to avoid the annoyances until they’re fixed. Other games haven’t allowed me to play around the inevitable issues nearly as well as GW2 has. (Diablo 3 and SWTOR I’m looking at you when I say that!)

I get that people are disappointed that their expectations weren’t met and that because there’s no subscription to cancel, y’all don’t feel you’re being heard. I don’t know what can be done about that except for you to ask for your account to be closed. I’m doubtful that ANet will ever change the game enough to suit your play style, no matter how hard you complain.

Don’t ever think you know what’s right for the other person.
He might start thinking he knows what’s right for you.

Your attitude speaks volumes. If you don’t like the game, feel free to take your leave – no one is going to stop you or beg you to return. At least have the balls to admit that for whatever reason you’re angry and feel better about yourself by stirring up drama – I can’t think of any other valid reason as to why you’d linger on the official site of a game you claim to despise.

Constructive feedback is fine, though what you’re giving certainly doesn’t fall under the definition of constructive.

Hey I want this to succeed. But how these game systems pass the beta test I’ll never understand, only to lose a chunk of the player base a few weeks later from dissatisfaction over the same game systems they were testing. How many more mmo launches are going to experience this. If developers don’t learn from other failed launches, then its up to us as players to remind them. We know what factors add to a game’s long-lasting appeal. By “we” I do mean to include all gamers this time.

well if arenanet employed north korea, i mean, DR into the betas then well most people wouldnt have bothered with the game. for people to claim its to combat botters, DR exists in gw1 to quite a large degree. this was there plan, naturally, the blind continue to think its all sunshine and roses.

By the time a game reaches Beta, it has moved on from the design board by miles.
Ive been in plenty of Alphas and Betas (am playing some at the mo).
I have seen changes in Alphas, very small changes in Betas.

But open Betas, even weekends are mainly stress testing on the servers. Nothing fundamental will change

I love seeing all the posts from people who have had jumped on the hate band wagon. And using frases like “lots of people are fed up” and “we need to show them this and that.” GW2 is not ME3. And for everyone person who posts on here saying things are bad and people are quitting the game, there are people loving the game. What also makes me laugh is that not everyone posts on a forum. I only come here as I don’t get as much time to play games as I use too. I just come on here to keep up with bug fixes and such. But also to remind people for every person hating on the game there are people who are too busy having fun and playing to get on here and tell us so.

Yes I’m on the side of enjoying the game. So far I’ve not had any game braking bugs. And I’m enjoying the game so far. I say so far as I’m lvl57. Don’t give me the come back when your 80 BS, I have just as much right to coment on the game as anyone else. I’m not saying I’ve seen zero bugs, I’ve seen quite a few. But I don’t care I just move along. Maybe ANet can make a complaints sub forum. Or if your that bothered contact support for a refund. There are things you can do.

I completely agree. I keep hoping for the day I can look at the Guild Wrs 2 Discussion forum and see most people chatting about good times and positive things. I would never expect all “negative posts” to go away and I wouldn’t encourage it even. It is that occasional criticism that will keep everyone thinking about the next great thing.

not to be rude but well done, except, now you know what its been like for every other mmo forum in the lead up to gw2. EVERY mmo forum had to put up with this mercenary ‘your mmo sucks gw2 will kill it’ group. THAT grew tiresome. and when i see people complaining about negativity, well, karma is the word id use.

Except that we’re not the people who did that. I know I never did. I don’t have an issue with other MMOs, and had just come from playing both Rift and Lord of the Rings Online just prior to buying the game.

Unfortunately this is quite common these days. I never understood, and i never will, what motivates these kind of people. It just has to revolve solely around their own needs when it comes to design, if not, then just bakitten day in day out.

One look at this forum and you can see 3 or 4 people stating the exact same thing over and over again in numerous threads.

It doesn’t mean that i think the game is perfect or has no bugs, but continueing the same rants over and over again, by the same few people, is getting quite pathetic imo. You don’t have to like certain aspects of the game, but just move on. We get it now, you don’t like certain things, no need to repeat it over and over again in numerous threads.

Ofcourse, when you don’t agree with their views, you’re a fanboy/whiteknight or whatever.

You’re expecting loyalty from Youtube ‘celebrities’ to be a valid point in a discussion? I think you’ll find most of them will hop from game to game based on what will get them the most subscribers (and as a result money and ‘fame’) rather than stick with something even if they enjoy it.

TotalBiscuit isn’t the best example to use, at the very least. I still remember how he used to whine and got himself banned on the official WoW forums because he couldn’t post his videos there when he was still trying to get more credibility.
