Guild Wars 2

The fix was necessary and understandable. I just wish they had addressed the core issue at the same time. The Butcher is a mechanically uninteresting fight that goes on way too long, just like the other HP-sponge HotW end bosses.

Anthony, any chance of adding a guild calendar to make it easier to organize guild missions in-game instead of on forums and such outside the game?

And since you want very small guilds to cooperate to complete missions, how about Alliance chat or custom chat channels?

1. Why is so much of class balance discussion (and even these States of the Game Q&As) focused around sPvP, when it is so different from and far less popular than PvE or WvW? Balance suffers in all aspects of the game due to their reticence to split more abilities along PvE/PvP lines.

2. When are the devs going to put up or shut up about eSports? It is ludicrous that eSport accessibility was given as justification for core design decisions (Conquest, no customizable UI, etc) before release, and yet they still have not implemented such basic features as custom arenas or observer mode more than six months later.

3. When can we expect to see concrete progress on reworking useless traits to improve build diversity? Does build diversity even matter to the devs with the bunker-favoring Conquest as the primary mechanic?

Guild Missions sound like a great start to improving guilds. That interview raised a few questions that I would love Anthony or Colin to answer.

Will Guild Missions have a daily limit or some other time-gating mechanic that will require scheduling? If so, are starting Guild Missions limited by guild rank permissions so officers can start them when the most guildmembers are online?

The guild interface is …archaic, a step back from GW1 even, to put it in the mildest possible way. Are there any plans to add the following to improve guild management?

*Last online notification
*Member notes
*Officer notes
*Guild calendar
*Fix guild UI lag as was done to the contacts list lag

It seems like the Guild Missions are designed to encourage guilds to interact with other guilds and the general population. Are there any plans to help facilitate that by adding Alliances like in GW1 or even just basic custom chat channels?

Will the sPvP daily/monthly achievements give the new tokens too, or will sPvP (correctly, in my opinion) remain a separate game?

I am not receiving the world bonus, even after the patch. Nothing shows up when mousing over the WvW button in the top left, and there is no change in hit points going from an overflow to the main server.

I’ve been on Maguuma since day one of head start, except for briefly tranferring servers to get a bugged skill point. That transfer was for less than five minutes and was months ago.
