Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet,

You’re not inspiring any confidence for me, my guild or many many other people who are playing WvW to spend more money on this game to buy the expansion. There are so many bugs right now that it is unreal. The game is in such a state of brokenness that it is almost unplayable for PvP and WvW is just stupid broken. Devs are replying to stupid things like outfits not being right but not to actual issues? We just want a reply letting us know you care about more than PvE and the cash shop please.

Examples as follows:

- Engineers can press Grenade Barrage and one shot just about anyone.
- Guardians burning stacks dealing 10k damage per tick.
- Hammer Guardian damage being unreal enough to take down a WvW gate in less than a minute with 10 Guardians.
- Rangers are still able to press 2 and nearly down someone with longbow from 1500 range, which has been complained about since they buffed it.
- Warrior kill shot is one shotting people.

I am sure there is plenty to add to this list, but this is the things that I have personally seen a ton of. You’ve effectively made fights in WvW pretty much pointless, it is all about who is running the cheese one shot builds that you allowed to happen.

As a developer myself, I know that things like this unexpectedly happen. But what I also know as a developer is that having your priorities straight on bigger issues that so many people are complaining about is very important.

Now please tell me and everyone else why we should buy this expansion that you’re shoving down our throats without fixing the problems that the game has. I imagine this will get deleted because deleting posts that are being straight forward is easier than fixing bugs too.

Thanks for fixing the guardians being able to bust down doors so easily, that is at least one less bug.

What is with this “we” and “everyone else” You do not speak for me and never will.

The majority – I am not speaking for you, I’m speaking for the majority of people that I’ve talked to that I play with in WvW.

People have been complaining about Grenade Barrage and Symbolic Avenger since the patch happened. What does Anet do? They decide to add outfits to the cash shop, push the expansion some more, double HP of world bosses and refuse to reply to any mention of these bugs making our game play in WvW incredibly bad..

Well I read lots of forums when I have time and heard about the nade one but I’ve still yet to be one shot by it. Guardian one I heard about today and yes needs to be fixed but maybe others knew about it before. I try to browse forums every few days. People even doing it on my server and to me its just lame so I decide not to play.

About making WvW incredibly bad its actually making people think the are incredibly good but once they patch/fix it they will be first to cry nerf you just wait and see :P

if you are actually a developer yourself like you claimed, you would know that the people working on bug fixes are not the same people working on new outfits, which again would be different to the people in charge of marketing the expansion and again not the same as the people working on general balance changes.

Grenade and hammer are both bugs. Burn damage is more a balancing numbers thing. And outfits I imagine are handled by the art team.

Every development company I’ve worked for has had the same out take on thing, one team, one goal. Even if you’re a developer, your employment depends on the product selling. I get thrown in to bug fixes from parts of projects that I never even touched all the time, that is part of being a developer…
