Guild Wars 2

PM sent. One more week to PAX, HYPE.

Pache.9406:

All I’m gonna say is there’s dozens of MMO with high volumes of different races. Most of them feature different body types (take WoW for example). The only company looking for excuses because they don’t want to put up the work to please their customers/fans is ANet. Bottom line is, there is no excuse, there is no “too much work”, there is no “system doesn’t allow it”, none of that exist. At the end of the day, MMO history proves a new race is always possible. Whether or not they include one or more in the future comes down to one single thing. Do they want/care to do it, or not, period! Same goes for mounts, Armors instead of Outfits, Dyeing backpieces/weapons/etc., New Weapons, and every other highly requested addition they want to dismiss/ignore, for no real reason.

Now lets try this from the other side:

All I’m gonna say is there’s dozens of different people who enjoy MMOs with high volumes of different desires from the game. Most of them play many aspects of the game (take PvXers for example). The only players who think companies are making excuses because said players don’t understand operational management, financial constraints, and wanting your employees to have a decent work/life balance are uninformed players. Bottom line is you can only do so much in a 40 hour work week with extra hours coming from your personal time (taking it away from your outside interests, family, and friends), which is further impacted by needing to keep a game (with multiple game modes) up 24/7 while creating new content and dealing with bugs/exploits. At the end of the day, MMO history proves that uniformed gamers don’t care about how realistic something is, if they want it the facts don’t matter. Whether or not a company wants to include something in their game comes down to one simple thing, would allocating resources to something (like adding a new race) provide a greater benefit to the game then anything else the resources could be spent on. Same goes for allotting budget towards employees (supporting in game passion projects, pay raises, job training, benefits, company parties, etc). MMO gamers will always want things that interest them added to the game but unformed gamers dismiss/ignore resource restraints on the games creator for no real reason.

So everyone who had a tag in our BL tonight decided to tag up and we spent most of the night RPing famous squadrons. Guilds ran in formations and aviation experts/ air force players did their best to provide us with the proper terms to use. Songs such as Flight of the Valkyries were played in comms and people quoted movies such as Top Gun.

Additional Info:

*We are an 18+ guild who often harass each other for fun (we expect members to be intelligent enough to understand that we are only joking and mature enough to stop if asked), so keep that in mind if you plan on joining us.

*In the event you have an issue with a member of our guild you are more than welcomed to discuss it in private with an officer. DO NOT spam guild chat or mumble, we have our hands full making sure everyone is in the correct zone and receiving credit so we may not be able to get to your issue until missions are over.

*We will begin inviting roughly 30 minutes prior to start time, upon completion we will be removing players following the completion of all missions, you are more than welcome to rejoin at our next public missions.

*We allow some time for people to run to each mission area if you do not have a near waypoint, but if it is possible, please have at least one waypoint in all mission areas as we would like to get done in a reasonable amount of time(ideally an hour and a half).

*If you are not already familiar with Guild Missions feel free to check out Dulfy’s Guides. I reccomend reading Challanges and Puzzles at least.

*Typically our order is Bounty, Challenge, Puzzle, Rush. We do not meet anywhere in advance and form groups in guild chat

*We have already received our merits for this week, so for the bounty we will only be killing one of the targets for people to get their chests then we will be moving on.

*For Puzzles, please make sure that you stay with our group. There are sections that close behind us so it is possible for you to get locked out. Be aware of your surroundings; call out if you see someone downed and don’t tunnel vision ahead.

*For voice communications we use mumble if you would like to download it and join us if we have space. Voice com is not required but it is your responsibility to let us know if you are still enroute to a mission via guild chat.
