Guild Wars 2

I just wanted to say that for 2 years a little over now i have played this game. I do not play as much now but still check in and i try so hard to get into it and love this game. The only thing that stops me is i see the potential and then i see the realization of where this game has come from and what it has become. And it’s not to pretty.

First i will say bug fixes there have been bugs here since day one that never got fixed and more added upon each patch. I could list a bunch but you all know the main ones i mean and even more small ones that most may not mention. Basically i am not just saying it to say it. This is the truth and there are many.

We were told there would be constant balance/game changes yes there has been some but to few and far in between. They always preached how they didn’t want to do whack a mole, but as you all see that’s pretty much what we get and not only do we get that we get it every 6 months or so so a patch will come and nothing will be fixed for another 6 months just unreal i can not believe a company who preaches pvp runs a game like this..

Maybe it is just me and i am asking for to much i don’t wanna always be ham bow or shout bow but the meta forces us into builds. And some may say well either get good or do what u like. Which yes that is true in some cases but you all know in high-mid level or high game play it is not possible with many builds/classes i was just talking bout warrior cause that’s what i main. I also know that in any mmo there is always 1 or 2 top builds i get that, but what excited me about this game was the diversity they preached for so long of what we could do and how we could do it and i don’t know bout u guys but that just disappeared .

Now for this i do have a solution which is more patches more frequently to change the meta and bring weapons and builds up that are close to being good but not quite there. and by faster i don’t mean 1 month or something like that i mean constant little tweaks to builds weps changes things of this nature. Which would not be whack a mole because u are just tweaking things here and there so on. If something is crazy strong u tone it down if something is to week but u see has good overall meta potential and would make the game more diverse u Tweak it.

Now what anet will say is well we have to think about pve and wvw, but i am sure all remember they have said that they have the program set up to where they can do any one of the modes they want or all if they choose. So they do have the power and system to do this which is great. But what happens there scared to because god for bid a total casual player walks in from pve to pvp and some skills are different omg they cant handle it, I mean come on were all gamers here and most like a challenge if any thing they may enjoy the different changes to each mode gives more to learn and more diversity for each mode.

Any how in closing i just see the broken promises of a miss used game and miss used employees or just the wrong employees to get this game to where it could be. They are so worried bout esport’s but there doing nothing to improve it well nothing that is really changing the face of the game.

For instance this last pvp patch with the new ques leader board and such. Now some of it is good a lot really it was good overall change. But nothing else and even with these changes u talk to the devs and it almost seems like a guessing game with them like they really don’t understand how things work. They will say o seemed great in our private test just like builds for classes, o this worked great in our internal server.

Where 20 or 30 or so of us play. HMM how about doing a public test server to get the big picture where the pros are playing and finding the exploits or what have u to these builds runes sigil’s and so on. Instead u do a little testing with mediocre players in your anet team and say o ye this is great.

And then u realize o wow certain things are to strong or to week when it comes live and the reality of great players actually discovering things you all didn’t catch. Which is fine but what is ridicules is when you all see this as a game team you do nothing for months i mean it is just crazy makes me feel like you all do not know your own game.

So how to fix this well open public testing so certain players can come in and you really get a good idea as a whole what it is going to be like. Or stay with your private testing and after you all see what it is like live and patch faster and more frequently “Tweaks here and there” is what i mean. Thank you for reading if you made it this far. I had more to say but had to delete a bunch as post was to long i hope it still makes sense.

I sometimes wonder if ANET has anyone working on balance full time. I just can’t imagine why it takes so long to balance obviously broken specs in the game. As I like to say… If ANET wants to be esports, they need to balance like esports.

As for the new changes, I do like that they at least tried something. It is good to see some developer involvement. Contrast that to WvW, where there seems to be new vision for that game mode. The point is that some changes are better than none.

That said, the new matchmaking isn’t working. The old system was definitely better. At first, I did like combining into ranked and unranked queue, but now I realize that solo and team was a much better setup. I wish they’d revert to that model.

ye you may be right i cant even get into depth about the new changes because haven’t put the time in lately the game is just so boring and stale. So when i wrote bout those changes that is just what i seen so far. Didn’t want to get into that to much that i haven’t experienced but you are probably right. Anets signature should be "one step forward 2 back. Thx for taking the time to read bud. There are quite a few things people can pick from and elaborate
from which i hope is what happens. as i ran out of posting space .

I am bumping because if people care and took the time to elaborate i think some good responses can come from this. maybe a dev will catch it
