Guild Wars 2

Just out of curiousity, which would you rather come first, new content(holiday events/ new dungeons etc) or repairing existing content(Bugs) or updating existing content (Guild system/WvWvW/SPVP etc)?

No explaination needed. Just trying to get a sample feel of what people currently think.

Please only limit your answer to:
-New Content
-Repairing Content
-Update Content
-Indifferent

I vote New Content

repair and update existing content.

DE’s dont scale properly in difficulty and reward (never did) AND theyre broken. WvW is stagnant, but we know changes are coming there.

I definitely think they need holiday content. No questions asked on this point.

HOWEVER, in light of the monthly stuff they plan on releasing:
There are still bucketloads of broken things in the world and they, in my humble opinion, don’t have any business adding new, also broken content, when they haven’t bothered to fix the current set of bugs that have been well known since Beta.

At this point, the highest priority on their team right now SHOULD be fixing the massive amount of broken content that is there. It’s definitely not.

Today Shadow Behemoth was fixed for the first time in months, so they are clearly fixing broken content.
As far as new content,
what I would really like is more open world content like DE’s , Order missions, new recipes, new skins that are region specific and more activities in all the racial cities

These goals are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but in my view the game does need new content to keep things fresh and people interested in playing.

Having said that bug fixes are important, and so is making improvements to the current systems (e.g. guild functionality), but neither of these should be the sole focus of the Devs.

Doesn’t Anet have enough people to do both???

Fix content. Specifically, create mechanic to allow deserted zones to fill up with players.

My vote is for new content. ANet needs to keep people interested and playing as someone stated above. Holiday events are nice but I wouldn’t mind another one-time event, just as long as it gives cool rewards and it not completely bugged like the Lost Shores.

i always thought they said they have teams for do each stuff, the problem is apparently some work faster than others or some are better than others or some stuff is harder than other or some x is y than z.

Repairing/Updating existing content should be the TOP priority right now. Adding new content when the current one is bugged as kitten (Traits, DE, Dungeons), balance is questionable (at best!), systems needing improvement (sPVP, Guilds) seems like a bad decision imo.

repair/update existing content (pve open world DE’s especially new metas we still have yet to receive)

No matter how they are organized internally, development resources are always scarce and the competition for them is intense. The game is a new release and I cut them a lot of slack here—I don’t expect a game that doesn’t have bugs. But, this monthly content schedule has me truly baffled. How can they continue to release buggy new content in the face of buggy existing content. They’ve proven they can’t do both and my vote is for them to work on new content with a longer release cycle (one that includes a PTR) and focus more resources on stabilizing the game now.

fully agreed….game needs PTR badly lol.

New open world content. The bigger the world, the better I can get lost in it.

All of the choices. I don’t get this poll.

Fix old content and make it better. Stop spamming “new content” that is boring, rehashed and filled with bugs.

**How can some of you people say “NEW CONTENT”?! Are you all below 90 IQ? You saw how lame Halloween and Lost Shores was, so please tell me how adding more of that crap is going to attract new players? LOL!

You people are the reason ANET is still hemorrhaging new content as well as players that leave this game. Quantity does not make the game good. Get it through your heads plz.

Fix old content and stop releasing new until the old is at least stable.

As had been said Anet has proven over and over again that they are not able to handle releasing new content without both breaking it and old content.

Fix! FiX! FIX!

Cut new events in half till the Steaming Swamp of existing power bugs, DE bugs, dungeon bugs, bugs no one admits to bugs, and the bugs within bugs, is mostly drained and the Stink is bearable. No one with any experience of these type of games expects perfection but really.

And when releasing new events/content, please make it NOT the cluster duckling that was Lost Shores. Please. Pretty Please, with sugar on top.

So very much good being fouled by so many small and not so small problems.
