Guild Wars 2

ANet! Please continue to post what your working on next or planning to implement next/ more often. Working on things in secret all the time is giving a lot of players the misconception that your not listening to them and that your game is lacking and will see no change.

Also, please explain your changes in more detail. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people make up these conspiracy stories about why your company is making “said changes” to the point where I don’t even know who to believe

I remember hearing about a PTS server in the works. Hopefully it gets released soon! Players should be able to test out changes and provide feedback before they go live. Stronger communication is whats gonna give players hope about the future and keep them excited to keep playing.

Not going to happen, it has been three years and Arena Net are not about to change.

They do but not in the forums. They mostly use Reddit, Guild Chat, etc. People just expect to find everything in the forums because digging a bit is too much work.
I don’t blame them tho, I’d also expect to find more info in the forums. But after seeing how people react in the forums vs how people react on Reddit I totally understand why they do it.
Its like going from kindergarten to college.

They don’t “mostly use Reddit, Guild Chat, etc.” They mostly use a lot of tools, like any modern firm. There are tons of posts on the forums, there are posts on the front page (guildwars2.com), tweets, interviews with fanzines and streamers, weekly streams, and yes, occasionally some responses will come first on Reddit or in-game.

No matter how much they tell us, we’ll always want to know more. No matter how many times they respond in the forums, they’ll also sometimes respond on Reddit.

To be clear, I think ANet makes some weird choices about how & when they talk to us, the where is secondary.
