First of all, i just wanted to thank all of you for the hard work that you’ve put into guild wars 2 and all the time spent on trying to make it better, to give us, the player base a better gaming experience and also thank you for being such an awesome company, and when i say company i don’t mean the brand, but rather the people standing behind it, pushing to make it successful.
One of the success you’ve had as a company, is to not feel like a company. I cannot picture suits and ties sitting on a board room, coming up with the idea of having a legendary weapon shooting out rainbows and unicorns. but it would be easy to picture a group of normal friends coming up with this idea while eating pizza or having some drinks, a group of passionate people who love what they do and this reflects on the game that you’ve created
the reason that i created this post is to suggest the developers to talk to us, the player base more often. After seeing the replies on the ranger forums from a developer, i felt happy even tho I don’t even have a ranger, just the human connection meant a lot and i bet, it meant a lot more for those who do play ranger, shows that you care and also for what i read, lots of valuable feedback and suggestion were collected so why not do this with every class once in a while ? talk to us, tell us a little of your personal thoughts on the class, the identity of it or where it fits on the game. also it would be great after a major nerfs if you gave us a little insight, a brief explanation of why that needed to be nerfed, specially in the not so obvious ones such as Kit refinement on Engineer.
I think this kind of interaction would be positive both for the player and developers and could go a long way. I understand how quickly a passionate player can turn into animals on the forums but hopefully this does not keep you from giving it a try. it would help us understand our classes and take away some of that uncertainty and also by working with the community, we could help you come up with new creative and innovative idea to make the game that much better.
thank you to all developers, and hopefully you get to read this
