Recently I wrote to Anet to thank them, and I feel like I can share it with the rest of you. I hope you appreciate the game as much as I do:
————————————————————————————————-
I wanted to take a moment of my time to thank you. Please don’t chalk
this up as another compliment to you guys and that’s that. No. I can
honestly say that you guys saved my life. Without knowing it. I know
it seems crazy, but it’s true. I’m a father of 2, married and going to
school. I was in the military and suffer from PTSD and major depressive
disorder. It’s really hard going through my daily life, even the
simplest of things are hard to do. I enjoyed playing other MMOs for a
little while, but it didn’t really help me. I needed a distraction, but
one that I could play as a casual gamer and didn’t have to dedicate my
life to. This game is the perfect solution. I can group with people,
but I’m not forced to. There is rarely any extra benefit from
grouping. I can craft and it doesn’t take hours and hours and take up
all my bag space. I can jump on for a half hour and feel like I was
able to do something productive. I can participate in huge events
without having to farm reputation or farm gear that seems more like work
than a game. I actually enjoy the PvP environment and the WvW concept
it brilliant. Thank you. It’s still hard going day to day with my
struggles, but this game has provided an adequate distraction. One I’ve
been longing for for a very long time. I can’t promise I’ll be able to
spend a lot of money on gems to support you, but I’ll do what I can when
I can. I can’t promise that I’ll always be around in-game (though it’s
possible), but I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for,
at the very least, getting me through right now. Life’s been rough and
GW2 is a beautiful distraction and outlet. God bless your team.
- And thanks to all the other players out there, especially my guild [SE] for being so supportive, keeping a good sense of humor and making the game just so kitten fun to play.
I want Drew Cady’s job. That is all.
Well , that’s not quite all. I just wanted to thank Anet for posting about how much they really do put into this game. I honestly appreciate the game more and more every time I see the passion that the team has for their creation. I’ve NEVER paid as much attention to a game as much as I have with this one and I’ve been gaming for nearly 30 years. I played other MMOs religiously for years on end and sighed when I got an email update from them. When I get an update or see a new facebook post from ANET I can’t get to the source fast enough. This is the first time I’ve watched webcasts and read forums and posts about a game. I’m very excited about the future of the game. Thanks Drew for your hard work and passion – and thank you to the rest of Anet for the same.
The secondary skill of summoning a minion, whether it be healing or damage, would be a lot more useful if it were easier to track the health of your minions without having to scan the battlefield for them. Having a tiny health bar above the skill bar (above the specific skill that summoned them) in addition to their nametag health bar would be extremely beneficial.
