Guild Wars 2

Not going to go over the patch issues or anything, seems most people are generally dissatisfied with this patch and what it brough to the leveling aspects with the NPE and level gating.

I’m just really hoping Anet listens and doesn’t shrug this off like they usually do. I’ve loved Anet since GW1, and I’ve really been rooting for them over the years, but this patch leaves me really wondering what company I’m supporting.

The patch goes over well in China… but China didn’t have access to GW2 before it was “broken” by this patch, so how is that a good comparison to gauge goodness?

Even new players are mad… but will Anet listen or sweep it under the rug? I’ve seriously never even considered moving to another game until this. I understand the patch JUST came out and there are bugs and all that, but that isn’t the point. I really think Anet needs to address it’s community and answer for all of the negativity that is stemming from this update, it might restore a tiny amount of hope. I used to recommend this game to my friends, now I can’t stand behind this. :\ Quite disheartening indeed.

From what I understand, they are planning on discussing the feature patch what works, what doesn’t, address our concerns, etc. sometime next week. But for now they are busy fighting fires and fixing bugs that are causing major issues. I believe that they are reading the feedback, taking notes, and preparing on how to handle it the best. Sometimes it’s not a good idea to jump in and start saying stuff without enough information.

I’ve been hoping for an approach like that. I wouldn’t expect a response this week… but I’m hoping there is one.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll hold out hope a little longer with that rumor : )

Really Hope Anet is Listening [Rant]…

… they’re not, you’re not praising them.

I’ve only been playing since February. I’ve never played an MMO before as I really enjoy team-up games like Dragon Age Origins or Mass Effect(1-3). I don’t mind a little new-ness in a game and I can be rather patient, but when I get a fairly new toon porting over to another racial area (Ie: Asuran in Wayfarers) and I dive through the known cave that has a skill point in it and I can’t access it (ie: the challenger won’t get off his tuchus) there’s a problem, and when I get given to me harvesting tools for obtaining level 8, when I should have already been harvesting already, there’s a problem.
