Guild Wars 2

While I don’t really have that big of a problem with this map myself and I think that a lot of people are exaggerating a lot when talking about this map… how can the skyhammer thread have almost 1k responses and no dev response… while every other threat concerning skyhammer gets merged with it?

It’s just a prime example for why people are so frustrated. Getting ignored like that, getting no response even though they obviously see that there are a lot of threads concerning it, skyhammer still being in soloq even though they must be aware of how many people hate this map.

While I don’t really care about skyhammer, it really bothers me that we still have no statement why it still is in soloq and if they plan on ever changing it.

Sad thing is that I can already tell that this isn’t getting a dev response either and will probably get merged aswell. :/

Yeah don’t be surprised. On the PvE side of thins a patch called Fractured happened last november; in that patch Anet removed 30 fractal levels, lied about some stuff, and introduced mechanics players did not want. We complained a lot and insistingly. All we received was infraction points.

Sounds like anet alright, ignoring the playerbase when they are offering criticism is how things escalated into frustration and anger.

They focus more on the super casual playerbase; the type of guys that do pvp once in a blue moon. Guys that dont take pvp in this game that seriously.

- Those are the guys that keep the numbers high enough. Its short term and not a solid base for a thriving pvp scene….but anet is fine with that.
- Those are the guys that are ok with minigame type of gameplay.
- Those are the guys that dont mind lack of depth or one shots.
- Those are the guys that dont mind the overall state of the pvp community and the lack of numbers.
- Those are the guys that prefer horizontal development over vertical development. Shallow toys and gameplay vs developing and improving the excisting flow of gameplay/combat.

They dont really care about GW2 developing in to the quality pvp experience it couldve been. As long as they have their short term pvp fix once in a while.

Hardly anyone takes the pvp in this game seriously, because it is just one big mess. If you want this game to have competitive pvp, the whole entire combat, class mechanics and balance needs to be overhauled which is too late to do.
