Guild Wars 2

There seems to be way more communication with the Engi subforum and devs than other profession… what makes Engi more deserving to get communication with devs?

Not bashing on engi here, just genuinely curious why other profession subforums don’t get any dev interaction… as a ranger/ele main, I have to go back over 10+ pages to find a meaningful dev post.. Here there are like 3-4 meaningful dev posts in the first page alone..
You got a class on the brink of imploding (necros) and theres no support or feedback on what the devs vision for them is..

What gives for the uneven amount of interaction with devs and other subclass forums?

I would say part of the reason is that a) we are close to the patch and we still had many questions about how our reworked kits and traits functioned, which is what most of the red posts answered. Other forums aren’t asking that, they’re just asking why did they get nerfed, which isn’t as easy to answer, yet devs have replied when they asked how a skill or trait functions now. And b) I like to think the engie forums are a more welcoming place than other forums, much more positive than say, necromancers.

Ok but theres still threads about trait details and clarification on skills in other forums too that get completely ignored as well…
While there are more threads about nerf questions, its not 100% about nerfs.. theres still trait change questions..

I agree this forum seems more positive lol.

Hahaha, that’s very funny.

There have been days in which other professions su forums got attention. There were days in which rangers or eles had dev attention in the past about specific balance changes comming up.

We’re you asking them then, what they were doing about hobosacs or nonfunctional engineer traits in those sub forums then?

This sub forum is for discussion about the profession, not threads to complain that your preferences professions, do not have as many recent dev post.
