Guild Wars 2

With ArenaNet having their company split into 4 different living world teams I feel like after a patch is released and some few bugs are fixed, the patches are just left there, especially permanent content. It feels like they’ve just moved on to the next release.

Examples:

Dungeons daily reward. We all know the rewards aren’t balanced for all paths but they put them at what they thought was good, we gave feedback on the least played paths how they are way to long and boring and 1,5g is not enough. Nothing changed.

Tequatl. At almost every single successful attempt a bone wall comes up at burst phase even though he was at like 5 stacks. Turrets stop working all the time, you have to wait for it to start working again. Nothing changed.

Aetherblade Dungeon Path. Patch notes said nothing about how long it would stay, achievement meta said “October achievements”. Those that guessed it would last for all of October were wrong. Not a single word was said about this.

I feel like ArenaNet really need an additional team to fix stuff they’ve released. We can’t just give you feedback and then wait 2 months for the team that made the content to maybe improve on their new release. The old release needs fixing too, especially if it’s permanent.

Well feel free to comment whether you agree or disagree.. I feel it’s an important topic, prove me right or wrong.

It’s my understanding that the 4 LW teams are only part of ANet’s workforce. The rest are working on other, unspecified things. I believe that bug squashing is one of those, as I’ve seen bugs that I’ve reported fixed that were not part of LW. It sounds like you consider the bone wall issue to be a bug, so report it as such if you haven’t already.

As to length of time allowed for achievement hunting… I’ve noticed that dailies and monthlies have a built-in timer showing how much time remains. Was this not so for the new TA path? If not, putting such a timer in seems like a good idea.

Finally, I doubt any changes will be made to dungeons until another dungeon-related LW hits.

im starting to think that the living story team is the only team this game actually have

and maybe a wvwvw team
it seems devs aren’t working on anything else….

they did nothing to prove it otherwise sofar….

they can crank out patch after patch of temporary content every 2 weeks, but in a year and 1/2 we dont even have guild halls at the very least?

I definitely think they need to beef up their bugfix and QA teams.
