Guild Wars 2

Srsly. Stop complaining, the game is fine and balance is pretty solid. Discuss.

Cave trolls smell a lil like mildew. Forest trolls smell like a strange moss or oak smell. Forum trolls smell like shame and dung…

I may jump on the case of those who Chicken Little all over the forums, but the game isn’t exactly “fine”. It needs a lot of bug work, more sPvP features, and then a strong analysis on the meta once more consistent competitive matches evolve it beyond where it is currently (whether that’s a much more refined version of the current strat, or if counter-strats develop etc.).

Game isn’t fine, and the sky isn’t falling. People need to keep pressure on the important issues while still just remembering to breathe.

Very well said. The game has a solid core. With further development it can be a shining star…..or blow up like a supernova…

I’m sure the devs have an ace up their sleeves.

But even with a b2p game, the consumer base will not wait forever, and no matter how good the devs think the ace is, we won’t be waiting forever.

Don’t let this turn into swtor :P

This basically sums it all up quite nicely.

We can but pray, Hsulf.

So there’s no more effort needed to balance the classes, everyone is happy now. Troll thread.

The thing is, in two weeks the game will be two months old. What changes have we had? Precious few. Instead of seeing bug fixes to things that don’t work well or at all, we’re seeing nerfs to things that do work, sometimes too well. Tons of events/challenges/etc., are still bugged.

Class balance is an absolute joke. Some may disagree, but it’s pretty glaring. Just look at downed state abilities of various classes, and it’s pretty obvious to anyone with more than 1/8th functioning brain. All this stuff needs to be looked at, evaluated, rebalanced, etc.

And clock is ticking. Just yesterday two interesting games came out, and the game lost some players. In the coming 2 months, tons more games will come out, and we will lose more players. Is the sky falling? Is the game dying? No, probably not. Though I will say that I have not been placed into overflow at Lion’s Arch so far this week, not even primetime. Not once. Could be people just are somewhere else farming, but probably not. I also went into the Mists this morning, and aside from myself saw 2 people. Yeah, early morning, but usually there’d be at least a dozen.

And the absolute lack of communication from ANet is really starting to aggravate people as well. At least it does me. The recent blog was really…empty. A lot of wishy-washy stuff and not much substance.

Just saying…
