Guild Wars 2

Hey everybody!

Just a heads up, the Ranger Balance thread in the Profession Balance subforum has been updated to a post CDI discussion, and is still currently an ongoing balance discussion and balance suggestion discussion.

It’s a very worthwhile thread, and there has been a great deal of community activity and support within that thread, which has been an extremely progressive and constructive experience this far.

So this is sort of like a public service announcement; we’re still going strong, so pop in, have a good read, and post reply with anything discussion wise that you’d like to contribute.

Let’s keep those discussions going and those ideas flowing

It’s great to keep garnering interest and posting our suggestions but do you think any of our ideas will ever be implemented? From the April patch so far all I really see being a changed is pet responsiveness, and this change isn’t really ground breaking. Personally I don’t think much has come out of the cdi so do you think there are other ways we could make ourselves heard? :/ spamming one thread doesn’t seem like an option there

We won’t be able to see what progress either that thread or the CDI thread has made until any feature made post April 15th. There is no possible way they could have implemented anything based on the information that was gathered in such a short time frame when there is more than likely already a schedule of balance and release they are working on that gets created months prior to even begin talking about releasing another feature build.

Being constructive and staying constructive in our discussions are the best thing we can do as a community. Beyond that, I do know of a few individuals who have some more direct ways of speaking with ANet members and are able to pass along any threads and suggestions to them, albeit, not by spamming them all the time.

So, no reason not to be positive, stay positive, and have as much discussion as we can about positives and negatives. The most important thing we can do is be informative when providing feedback, and just because there is no visible acknowledgement doesn’t mean that anything goes unheard. Lots of ideas I’ve discussed and suggested, I have seen repeated back in some way or form from a dev.

There is a problem with the time frames between balance patches, and it’s totally understandable to be frustrated with the devs for not making the game “perfect” as immediately as humanly possible, so I totally understand any negative feelings towards ANet the stem from sheer disappointment.

Still, no reason to give up
