Guild Wars 2

Hello Arenanet

Wow, where do i begin… I am a long time guild wars fan and a guild wars 2 fan since guild wars launch. Everything about Heart of Thorns has meet and exceeded my expectations in terms of content, design, and mechanics.

I really hope you guys can launch more expansions like this and im hoping my post can encourage you guys to start the next one!

Anyways here’s my feedback.

1) Map Design is absolutely amazing in this expansion, i really feel more immersed in the story/game because of how large and intricate the designs of the areas are.

Exploration has never been better and i’m truly having a blast exploring every nook and cranny of each every new map. The vertical stages also add a new layer of exploration that the old maps did not have.

2) Story telling – The change in the way you guys delivered the story is a VAST IMPROVEMENT. I really can’t stress enough about how much better the story is! Everything about the story telling is better (new cutscenes, voices on our characters, and cinematic cutscenes)

3) PVP – Stronghold is my new favorite map, I am glad you were able to keep games around 10 mins long. I also like that im able to get more 1v1’s and 2v2s with the way the map is layed out. Also alot of classes that werent meta got significantly approved and is able to compete now.

4) Specializations – I am actually surpised about how much a specialization can change a class. Although, There are some classes though that i wish had more unique changes to their core mechanic (engineer/thief)

5) WvWvW – This is the only thing that i am slightly bummed on. The map is absolutely beautiful and i really can’t wait to play on it. Keyword “cant wait”, The current issue is that there are 3 of the maps and they are so gigantic that nobody wants to play on them because they cant find any enemies. I would really enjoy this mode better if you just got rid of the 3 maps and made it 1 map + eternal battlegrounds. I feel more people would play this mode if the population was there.

Thanks for reading!
