It is what we are a PC gaming community, enjoying a wide range of games together.

We use Team Speak 3 for our voice chat.

7th Anniversary – Party Redux – DATE: Friday, September 12th, 2014
Time: 7:00pm CDT – 10:00pm CDT

I am standing at the RC Golem mini game, contemplating life.[Battleground Plaza]
What I want from this game is cool mini games, something other than killing all the time, Anet just keeps removing them all from the game.
Divinity’s Reach as many NPC’s who tell you to come back later to check out the cool mini game. I have little hope now for Guild Wars 2 to be anything other than a genocide simulator.

Guild Wars 1 was nothing but, killing red dots and it got boring. Guild Wars 2 was supposed to be different mind set, a game for killing and having side attraction fun. Who ever is making the final choices now, just wants to make another First Person Shooter (FPS,) press one button to attack. The little things no longer matter, it all about the big things.

The little things add up to something awesome, GW2 wants to blend into the grey to be just another big boy.

“Ok so thought we try bring back another mini game that people seem to enjoy, Free fall. For those who don’t know the rules there really easy, I first jump of a high point (cliff, roof, floating rock, ect.) and fall and die. After I give the ok everyone who is playing jumps and tries to land as close to my body as possible. The closest dead players body wins, and by body I mean the closest ring that appears under a player when you select a player . I know that the order can differ from computer to computer but what ever I see on mine, or whoever is taking the lead, is the correct one. Depending on time I may do 4 or 5 maybe more runs per area we visit, it all depends on how long they take.”

Someone still needs to tell anet just because you give a npc white hair does not mean they are old or look old.
NPC’s named Old Woman, look and speak like they are in their mid 20’s..lol

World Boss: Ulgoth the Modniir now active [Cloven Hoof Waypoint], if you would like to join party, let me know.
You don’t even get to do the pre-events anymore for this? sigh… one of the great world bosses done right ruined. Wish I could go from one side of the map to the other, and be rewarded for working at it.
sigh*, there is nothing to do, everything still dies in 1 second. Why did I even bother checking a world boss out after a month since mega server..lol
Still the same, borg/ botting style of play..lol
Waiting for a timer to countdown, instead of progressing for killing enough foes and capping positions on a map, yeah that was boring, this is so much better..lol

Oh wait, I mean. come join my party, its super fun time here.
[Cloven Hoof Waypoint] champ to unlock the door, still dies in 3 seconds not even leaving the hut.
So many people here, I can’t even see the ground..lol
They took away more than 3/4ths of the events to do this world boss…lol
Delete content to play the game, sounds awesome.
Some say streamlines, I say what is wrong taking 10 minutes to do some pre-events.
Yup, I gave it another chance, Open World is still a giant joke, sticking with Dungeons, WvW and PvP for now :-0

AMD-ICBM supported – The Guild Wars community event fundraiser by Gamers Giving Back.

The Fundraiser raised $4,697 in donations towards the MSSociety.

Just want to point out, that is article was about short term and long term transitions.
In the short term, I not happy, I feel cheated and the current state of some parts of the game is made poorer for it.
Do I think in the long term that things will be fixed and made better? Yes I do.

However in the short term, the companies of Anet and Ncsoft have proven that 10 million dollars in profit every quarter is not good enough for them and wish to make less money for certain portion of the player base who cared about the gem store, community and a challenge.

The Mega Server in it’s current state is a joke. Trying to get guild members on the same map takes way to much effort. Waypoints that are contested don’t show up as contested, so it becomes a guessing game to move around the map. All the boss battles are just giant zerg fests, where things die in 5 seconds. Any sense of challenge or playing the game in a personal manner is gone.
Trying to find anyone from the same server is even a challenge.

Having the world bosses on a set schedule, only showing up 3 times a day instead of 12. So you have to be logged in the game 12 hours a day to fight a certain boss you enjoy fighting?
So much for dynamic events. Even doing the pre-events for the world bosses they do not show up. As it’s not on Anets time.
What happen caring about the player’s time?

In the short term this update was not ready for production. Anet needs to stop beta testing on the production servers. Other companies use open test servers for a reason.

Anyone can defend Anet to high heaven, but I seriously doubt those people have logged into the game and played it for a large amount of time, while trying to play with friends, guilds or community members you know. Without being in a party.
Yes trying to get a group of 20 or more people together that you know, is a nightmare in the game, right now.

If you have not seen this issue or understand what I am talking about than you don’t have or not playing with more than 5 people at a time.

Background and Player History
I am a long time player and major supporter of Arena Net I have run a community within the games for 7 years and spent a large chunk of my time and money enjoying the people around me and the experience Anet as provided. Guild Wars is truly a unique experience that as enriched so many life’s.

Guild Wars 1
/age: 14,044 hours over the past 85 months (7 years)
/money: 3 GW1’s/ 6 Expansions/ /Bonus Mission Pack/ 26 toon slots/ All Costumes. = $630 or so

Guild Wars 2
/age: 3,914 hours past 600 days (1 year and 8 months/ since beta weekends)
/money: Collectors Edition / Digital Heroic Edition/ Digital Deluxe Edition/ $320 Buying Gems/ 3 Novels/ Original Soundtrack/ GW2 Mouse Pad. = $1,650 or so.

======

The Wardrobe System and how it makes me feel.

When first hearing about the system (GW2.1 update) it felt like finally Anet gets it, we are getting the game that was Anet vision to begin with. However the current implementation is not what should have happened.
Changing a product people bought with their hard earned money to something we did not pay for is not something I thought Anet was capable of. I am all for making things better. However the current system as downgraded town clothes purchases people bought in good faith towards the company. Making kitten to $10 item in the store into a trading post tonic item is shocking.

This one decision as brought into question, for me and others, if financial support towards the game is viable. If something is paid for there is a understanding between the two parties that the product paid for will remain in a constant state.
Example; I do not buy a car, than 3 months later told by the dealer that they are changing my model to a moped for the sake of the environment.
My guild members of 150+ roster are also questioning their past support, if Anet is trust worthy of any future store purchases.

Now the game is a digital product and digital companies think they can do whatever they see fit as its in the terms of use that they can. However there comes into question responsibility to honor the customer, to respect the customer and to keep the trust.
There are deadlines to be made, and people to answer to on the developing side. However not delaying an update to a game when you know full well it is not ready and is going to hurt your long time business was not a good choice.
The company knew that this was going to be bad, as they are were offering refunds before the update.
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/45944258-Town-Clothes

This update as brought in so many good features, but being over shadowed by one glaring choice, that needs to be acknowledged and changed.
The man hours and money need to be put in, to correct a design flaw in the current iteration of the town clothes/wardrobe.

======

How to Fix it in my opinion.

• The current town clothes that are tonics, need to be included into the outfit section of the wardrobe.
• The Outfit wearable need to have customized square for each piece like before.
• Being able to dye each piece, like it is now, needs to remain.

This is easier said then done. Anet as made the current choice, for a reason as maybe they wanted to do it one way, but had to compromise for now.
Someone at Anet needs to speak up and say something, to let us know you are least trying to make it better.

======

Conclusion/ No Money being Spent.

I was buying Outfits with the old system in the gem store, but with the current system, unless there is an expansion pack. All faith and support towards Anet through the gem store is lost from me. All this money I spent supporting the game was worth it. However this feeling of being cheated out of my money buying town clothes is something as a consumer, I have to deny Anet for any more future funding.

Still be playing the game and having fun, with the GW community. However will just be sucking up bandwidth and costing Anet money for now on, until I get the town clothes back I paid for in good faith. Thank you Anet for so many years of fun, I do hope to continue the fun for many years to come. Thank you for giving me the choice to financially support the game or not to. I really want to, but at this time, can no longer.

The wardrobe system should have been the crowning example of Anet’s hard work and dedication towards the community. Instead it comes off to a giant gesture of ill will.
