Hey
Since HoT launch, i remember tons of threads about many issues in the game. People were angry about pvp balance, hard meta events, nearly impossible minigames and so on… But the thing i remember clearly from all those threads was that at some point, someone would say something like “well Anet doesn’t even care about it”, “OP, go check reddit if you want to see something”, “Anet went silent since HoT”, etc… It all sounded as the normal forum rants, but i actually found it somewhat true. I always checked the forums on daily basis since i started playing 7~ months ago, and i remember seeing lots of “red threads” (aka threads with dev’s response) pre-HoT, but around the launch of HoT- not much, if any. It kinda troubled me to think that those ranting people are maybe right in some way, tbh. Back to the topic, in the last weeks i noticed more and more threads about communication between the devs and the community. Yet, most of these threads remained unanswered or just got buried by new topics.
But after some time, i opened the forum to discover 2 “red” threads about communication! it made me really excited, tbh…
And then, after Gaile’s communication threads, i started seeing more and more “red” threads!!
Announcement posts, bugs explanations and even just discussing
I know i might sound over-excited, but it really makes me feel good to see that the game’s developers are listening to the players, give information and discuss things with them After a long time of hopeless feeling about the game’s future, i finally feel like we’re getting on the right track Sure, the game still has a long way to go by many means, but if the devs will keep communicating with us like that, i’m sure the game will only keep getting better! So i wanted to say: Thank you, Anet, and please keep up the good work you got here so many people that want to hear from you, and discuss things with you
/Cheer
And yes, i play [Teef] :)
