I was talking with a friend about the most recent WvW developments, and the HoT hype.
This friend had once told me that Anet should solve its primary coding issues before attempting an expansion, as in, building a house over a cracked foundation.
Below is some of what was said:
Wow..so thieves now similar to mesmers. They can attack while dodging in/out of stealth..
If you notice the new elites remove cripple and chill..however the new necro elite revolves around chill..I don’t think the devs talked to one another.
I have a feeling they fired the dev in charge of necros years ago.
I am not looking forward to the new update.
It will be a mish-mash of poorly thought out traits and abilities.
there will be two factions..those that can go head-to-head (Ele/Warrior) and those that blink in/out (Mesmer/Thief).
Not like they can’t outrun just about every class to begin with.
(I suggest he tells the developers)
You can make then for me if you’d like. I could care less. Like all other games this will fade in time. I’ve played other games run by Anet. Both closed down because of thier inability to listen to users.
I know you really like the game, but it will not be here forever.
It will end as soon as it becomes unprofitable.
(I argue back that they have sold 5 million copies, he says it is over 3 years and at different prices.
I say that they have managed to do that without becoming trash.)
I wouldn’t go that far.
The game is nice, but they are doing a good job of running wvw into the ground.
Me: Which is the only thing that will involve most players, is that what you’re saying?
He continued:
No..wvw is smaller than pve, but larger than they think.
Whenever I told him to let Anet know, he said nobody in a system admits making a mistake in order not to look wrong and lose credit/authority/employment.
To the developers, to the managers, please, please let Tyria continue beautifully, healthily.
Listen to those who care.
It’s for everyone’s good.
Thank you, and hope this reaches somewhere.
I was going to tweet this but thought why expose in-house dust when rivals are waiting to pounce.
Come on, others are regurgitating their old stories whereas you have opened a whole new world.
Please take care of the basics.
