Marketing vs. Reality
We’re still here? lol
I thought we should’ve stopped when someone pointed out this phrase:
“As always, the content above is subject to change as we test and iterate on these systems.”
People should really stop quoting what sounds nice and start quoting the whole thing. Just my 2 cents.
Ok. so you think that Anet “ordered” us that we will see new legendary weapons and scavanger hunt in 2013?! Great.
I didn’t say that, you did.
Guys, you are now arguing about grammar, and trying to give each-other english lessons.
It’s necessary, when posts and things said by developers are pored over for “PR Speak” to parse through what they did say and what they didn’t say, as well as what they explicitly didn’t say.
For my part, I wish the ‘powers that be’ would spend some of their marketing budget on development.
I wish they either gave up their “PR filter” entirely or fed everything through it at the highest setting so as to render any response impossible to determine what is actually being said. Then we might get less badgering over whether or not they meant X or Y and people can focus more on what actually exists rather than what might or might not exist.
This is not a statement “but what I can say is you will see a specific way to build precursor items on your way to a legendary. On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013”.
If i say “This banana is good” that is statement, but if i say “You WILL eat this good banana this year” than that is not a statement.
No, that’s an order.
Could just be a prediction. the sun Will rise tomorrow is not an order for example.
“New Skill and Traits
We’ll begin regularly adding new skills and traits to the game for each profession to expand your characters and builds!”
i must have missed that!
we got 1 lot of new GM traits (mostly sub-par) and one useless healing skill per class
