Guild Wars 2

Heres a complaint, and Arenanets resposible for it haha.

This games turned to CRAP. Lousy customer support and interaction, your events are constantly riddled with bugs, and you swing that nerf bat WAY to wide and Often instead of fixing the broken crap that doesnt even work yet.

Planetside 2 releases tomorrow and is free to play as well, so this games going to the shelf to collect dust.

Rage!! yeah alot of people rage about alot of dumb things and thats the truth, BUT
that doesnt negate the facts of ALL the people that rage. You have to admit some of there rage is legit and has a good reason.

If you cannot admit that then your just blind and refuse to see anything as broken. It would be more of the same < Move along, nothing to see here no problems just keep moving people >>

I play WvW ALOT, in fact since i finshed my story line and have all exotics and dont really care to dungeon romp all the time, im in WvW most of the time.

Let me tell you something. Look around in WVW and please tell me honestly how many engy you see sporting the flamethrower. HAHA im so tierd of rezzing these poor saps during a battle that i honestly feel sorry for them and message the few i did see to ask how they felt about that particular build.

Usally these engys are few and far in between but i can tell you here that they wasnt happy campers.

I mean cmon guys, you telling me ALL these people that are getting pissed off about the engy change or the state of that class are WRONG? Tweaking and toning down abilities after a games release is one thing but my god , just swinging the nerf bat all the kitten time befor you even FIX unworking broken traits and abilities is just stupid and bad design.

Excuse me if you think this is unconstructive critisism but you take it however you feel. Its my opinion and yes i have an engy 80 and YES the class needs HELP not nerfs.

There i said it.

Hi. I’m also a software engineer who’s worked on products that real customers use, and so I’m going to complain “responsibly” by saying that ANet gets no free lunch here.

1. That a trait has been broken so long is absurd. The idea that server sync prevents a fairly powerful trait from working is definitely plausible but… why not just change the trait. Part of knowing how to ship a good product is limiting your feature set to what can be delivered. ANet is not doing a good job of this. Simply provide a different trait that can be implemented. Is scope really so pivotal to the engineer design that it cannot be replaced? The pvp community certainly doesn’t think so!
2. While sometimes kids go way off the deep end in their complaints, the lack of other more direct feedback mechanisms means that the only way that people feel like they can be heard is to shout loudly and often. ANet has basically asked for this response by not at least offering token feedback mechanisms in game.
3. Dev quotes can and should be used against them. Each of us, as software engineers or coders or whatever you call yourself, is not somehow exempt from the day-to-day rules of communication that govern everyone else. If you say something, you’ve said it and people will listen. If you say something foolish, you may later be required to admit you were wrong. It is the sign of a healthy mind to be able to do this.

I’m glad your able to state things so clearly and responsibly.

I on the other hand have great trouble doing that when im angry and upset, as do most of the people here.

Good job and nice right up.

I enjoyed the engineer class befor this last patch. No i didnt use pistols although i wanted to.
I enjoy WvW battle the most, but as you said if your having fun it doesnt matter what others think right? Well if you cant play the way you want to then i guess it isnt fun anymore is it?

So if i want to use pistols and play WvW, i cant unless i like getting beat down every 10 feat in there because my class is limited in power. So now im forced to only play PVE or use grenades in WvW, BUT WAIT , aww i cant use grenades in WvW now either because we got kittened on the last patch hmmm.

Oh well , lets all roll warriors and guardians and just play those. Hey we could all just make 1 character type of every class and work them to lvl 80, then no matter what they nerf, we have a class to play.

But then again you will have to LEARN to like playing something you dont really like. Makes sense??

Wowzers thousands of posts and angry ones to boot, and all about the changes in this last patch.
Some people just dont articulate there thoughts in typed chat in a graceful manner, because they are angry and upset, means all of us are wrong and your right!

Gee i never heard this one befor huh? Its not rocket science to figure out that this patch was BAD, and your customers DONT LIKE IT, for the most part.

So sorry that we dont word things properly to fit your special idea of speech and idea sharing , but hey who are we anyhow? Just the customer that spends alot of our offtime hanging out with your product.

Thanks for pointing out our wrong doings and forgive us for our inept attempt at relating to your godly ideas of criteria and how we should speak.

We shall attempt to do better and leave you to yourself made thoughts of grandeur and holiness. Better yet, we can just find a new game.

I know some other classes got nerfed as well, like the thiefs but nerfing the engineer class was not needed. If anything we needed a boost and fix some things that dont even work.

Flamethrower comes to mind. Anyhow since ive made other characters and found that the engineer is the only real one i enjoy playing, im going to shelv this game for now.

I saved some extra cash and wanted to sink it into the shop here at GW2 over the holidays to help my engy out and make things fun , but at this point it just isnt worth it.

I even tried to go back and play my necro since he got a small boost and man was it a crappy boost. Sadly Arenanet has let me down and from what ive seen, alot of other players as well.

What i find so stupid is nerfing instead of fixing traits that dont work and classes that are either not played hardly at all or abilities that dont even get used because of failed design.

You should have worked on those things then proceed with toning some things down afterwards but you swing the nerf bat wide ALOT. Then again alot of these MO companys keep going to extremes on nerfs and just dont get the MMO players ideas AT ALL.

I’m really sick and tierd of dumb designers that are so blind to simple fixes and adjustments that i really dont think im going to invest in another MMO for a long time.

Im in the beta for Planetside 2 and having a fairly good time so far since its free to play but as for a deep story line and game world like some MMO’s try to be, i dont see anything upcoming thats worth it really.

You are just making the players frustrated and all you are going to wind up with are hardcore fanbois and a player base that doesnt recover.

Anyhow my thoughts are that you are headed down the same crap nerf road as other failed MMO’s and the engy nerf was un-needed and a bad choice. This games going to my dust shelf for awhile.
