Guild Wars 2

I can appreciate that we get articles on upcoming features…many of them have been great, however I am incredibly surprised we have yet to see an article or even brief forum posts by Jon/Izzy discussing some general plans, or even acknowledging particular problems. From broken profession mechanics, traits that are weak or improperly placed, weapon skills that are useless or poorly designed, and just general combat concerns that keep the game from being so much better. I’d hate to waste my time playing a game and gearing up for a panacea patch that won’t even exist.

And its not like I’m one of these people who expects fixes to happen yesterday. I only expect a little more discourse by this point other than “we’re working on pet AI fixes” and “we’d like more viable builds” which is the gist of what we’ve heard so far. All the new content in the world doesn’t cover up core combat issues. I’ll leave it at that. Thanks for reading =D

I completely agree, i have not touched this game in a while, and i do not notice any changes in the combat system. This is even though they had been talking about major combat fixes, it seems like they are just focused on the little things and not trying to improve on HUGE problems with the current combat system. I personally think that the fact the majority of your skill bar revolves around your weapons is a limited concept that really kind of locks the player in to a cornered system that has almost no customize-ability or flexibility at all.
