Guild Wars 2

Anet please take advantage of people with more experience in these games than some of your developers.

What are your plans for progression. Let’s give you the feedback now so you can adjust before releasing them to people’s absolute disappointment.

This is a good point. It would be really nice to give feedback before it’s too late.

Agreed.

The mess with ascended/fotm could have been mitigated or avoided had they outlined the plan to the community a couple months beforehand and made adjustments after a dialogue.

This is a perfect time to start the dialogue about WvW changes.

Man you guys are chompin at the bit for this :P

Not so much chompin at the bit, as would like to have a chance to comment on what they have planed before they add it.

I’ve seen many MMOs just add in what the Devs thought people wanted, and never ask the players at all….. only to end up majorly upsetting the entire comunity because what they thought we wanted wasn’t even close.

Entire communities are nearly always upset with ANY change though, some will rejoice, and others will take it to the streets! :P

Much like free transfers, PvE types love it, WvW types loathe it!

Still the forums have already clued the devs in on many of the things players are looking for in WvW which really can be summed up as more rewards be them more accessible titles, loot, and the ability to attain ascended gear through WvW. There’s other stuff too but that’s where it gets a little harder to implement.

This is somewhat true, but if they go with player feedback, at least a little bit…. we aren’t left with the feeling that the devs don’t listen. That feeling kills games faster than anything.

Plus… I’ve seen games pop in some crazy off the wall changes that NO ONE ever asked for, and when that happens it’s not just a bunch of whining on the forums we have to worry about… It becomes a mass exodus. With player feedback you can at least get a sense of player reaction to certain ideas before hand.

Keep in mind, I’m not talking about players making a bunch of demands and needing every one met. I would just like to hear what they’re thinking of doing before they do it. Just it case it’s really something bad. Which sadly, happens a lot in MMOs.

In any MMO I’ve ever played, the Dev teams who have comunicated with the players has been much more respected than the ones who don’t.
