If you want to start, how about you start by making a post in each profession’s thread about where you see that profession (as it stands) and where you want to take it, what needs to be improved/what need scaling back and why. That’d give you great feedback.
That’s a great idea! Love it.
Anyway, Jonathan: thank you for the post. I for one, and I think many others, would welcome more posts like this. More openness and more communication.
With a post like this (detailed information and some insight), you folks could’ve prevented a lot of the kittenstorm you got over the weekend, the event and the patch.I hope that we’ll see more of these posts from now on.
Admittedly, that would be nice.
There once was a poor little RPG title for the Sega Genesis called Traysia. It was old, poorly translated, let you cheat by equipping unlimited power boost items, and had a clunky strategy battle system that i loved anyway.
There was a character that wore full heavy plate armor and helm by the name of Banegie.
Banegie was an enigma, tall, dark, silent, strong. He kicked bootay with the best, and cast magic with the rest.
Most importantly, he was a she. This was a total shocker to the party of course, who all assumed Banegie was a dude til she removed her helm.
I would like to play this kind of character personally. It would be very interesting. But that cannot happen so long as heavy plate armor in GW2 has curves and cleavage showing where it don’t belong in heated battle. I cannot anonymously play a female character and prevent other players from knowing that it is female. I’d love to get that shocked reaction when i remove my character’s helm and they realize she’s not a guy.
And i’m saying this as a guy.
I love this idea so much.
Her voice is absolutely adorable. I heard her calling for donations in LA and was immediately compelled to empty my bags.
I imagine how this must go with the Lionguard on a regular basis. They’re savvy people. “Hey, we need to collect money/convince someone to do something/appeal to the better nature of sentient beings.” “All right, let me go get Lyns.”
Agreed. One of my first comments on the Lost Shore stuff was “Lionguard Lyns is adorable.”
I would love to see a more of a story quest with her.
We just can’t talk about them until they’re ready.
There in lies the problem good sir. I personally don’t care too much about getting dates, but I want to know what you are working on, which just doesn’t happen. If you’re working on it already then telling the community isn’t going to create any hollow promises or anything. Right now we know that custom arenas are going to be the next pvp content….That’s it. I mean what are you going to do after that, surely you know.
To be fair, the devs don’t really owe it to us to tell us anything they are working on. We’re not entitled to know what they have planned.
That aside, things are always going to be in flux, and while they might be working on something with intent to release in, say, the next few weeks or months, if they then find some sort of problem in implementation and have to scrap a bunch of their work, that might push that feature/change off another month or two. Or maybe something else happens and they decide that the feature/change isn’t possible/feasible in the foreseeable future, and it gets scrapped altogether.
Meanwhile, if they say on the forums that “We’re working on [x feature] and hope to get it done in the next few weeks/months.” then people, inevitably, are going to take that as “We are working on [x feature] and it will be done and ready and rolled out in the next few weeks/months.”
And then they hit a roadblock, and they have to delay/scrap it.
And, hey, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they are very transparent about this, and come back, and say “Sorry guys, this thing that we were working on, it just isn’t working out, and we have to delay/scrap it.”
And then we get a chorus of “Booooo! Anet makes these promises and doesn’t keep them! They shouldn’t say they are going to do something if they’re not going to do something! They shouldn’t prematurely announce things if they aren’t going to follow through!” And so on.
Sure, that isn’t going to be the entire playerbase, but it’s going to be the vocal one, and the one that gives the game/devs a bad name.
