Guild Wars 2

Hi all.

Here goes:
Few words about me – my main character is lvl 80 necromancer. Minion summoner. And with one exotic item on him – pants from Mad King’s Tower. That’s how ‘hardcore player’ I am I’ve never played GW1. Bit by bit I add more elements to spice up playing time with GW2. Started from just wondering in beautiful locations, gathering resources for crafting, playing story, WvW, joined guild. Still no dungeons and sPvP. I thought that with this I’ll be able to stay interested for a long time, because (I’ll be kitten if I don’t admit it) GW2 is one hell brilliant game to me. Seems that I’ve hit bullseye with picking it up (one day I just decided that I’ll try it.

I’ve been reading forum from the very beginning and seeing increasing frustration among players I was not concerned. The game was giving me a lot of fun and it still does. But there are few things that seem to have started to take a bit of this joy away.

Helloween event was groundbreaking – so much fun content, so many players playing together. This time it was supposed to be even better. Well, maybe it is a coincidence, but yesterday this really nice feeling that I can relax with GW2 – a game that from very start was so good and showing much promises about future – changed.

I don’t know what new course now GW2 has – first of all – isn’t it supposed to be polished product and not just good-looking? One day when I showed my friend a list of necromancer only bugs even I couldn’t believe there were so many.
I am a patient man but I ask myself if it is really possible to appreciate more of the same if flaws that sometimes make it hard to appreciate base content are still there?Of course I want to fight new and tougher monsers but I need and, more importantly – I want to use all my skills to be able to win. Using flesh golem now seems to be only a sign of stubbornness.

ANet, you gave us a very good game. Just ‘for a moment’ work with what you have, please. Then make it bigger and even better.

If they took month to release a patch that would add nothing but fixed a fair amount of bugs, would players rage? After helloween event only one thing remained – book which is even not upgraded. Now there will be new dungeon, new PvP map and new small 80lvl map. And my useless flesh golem. And even more useless if I engage players with ascended gear.

Considering future from this point of view I play GW2 with a little less pleasure.

If the only way to help this game is to write on forum I am doing it now.
Something has changed for worse, some decisions were wrong.

I hope that I was able to deliver what I had in mind.
Sorry for my english, there’s much to be desired.

Sincerely,
Gizmo

There is a disturbance in the force.

ANet has taken a turn, and I don’t much care for the scenery. It’s mainly their decision with Ascended/Infusion gear and its acquisition and the obsolescence of exotics.

Also, the feeling I get that ANet doesn’t realize the popularity of WvW and isn’t dedicated enough to it.

Lastly, they need to hire more devs, I am sorry -ANet is in the big leagues, they have to step up and maintain.

OP, I agree Anet took a turn with the game that I don’t like (Ascended gear/treadmill). I also find it strange that they push out events but leave obvious bugs in the game. bugs that have been there since betas.

Anyway, hopefully they will see the vast sea of complaints and turn their vision back to what it was supposed to be.

Simply put they are not going to bother. They have decided on this gear tread mill and invested to much time and effort to change course back once again.

They are trying to make the BLTC a requirement and paid tournaments as well. They are missing the boat completely, they seem incredibly desperate.

WvW has a big draw, one of the biggest in the game. Exotic stats should be the cap, bring your ascended/legendaries but they should have stats capped at exotics to keep the playing field levelled. Anet has simply turned a blind eye on WvW and they will pay the price over time. I have virtually lost all motivation to play this game, have another in mind just need to drop 20 bucks and I am out of this joke.
