Also please also be aware that there is a lot of judgment around Scarlet when the arc has not completed yet. I agree with many of the points being made at a foundational level but please don’t assume that the direction of the arc is understood by all just yet.

I hate to break this to you, but unless she has some magic pseudo science device that’s going to remove the idiot ball from the character, we (I) don’t care.
It’s not like a book or movie where 90% of the way through suddenly we get to see the antagonists point of view and after the conclusion we get to go back from the very beginning and apply that perspective to the events and appreciate the deeper meaning behind everything.
All those story arcs are over and done with never to come again, unloved and unmissed, regardless of any reason scarlet had to mess around with the dredge/norn, charr, southsun and krait. It no longer matters since we won’t be able to back and re experience these (awful) events.
In short; we (I) didn’t care then, we don’t care now, and we’re not going to care no matter what the tramp does next (unless she’s going to use aforementioned idiot ball removing device)
Next time you introduce an infamous genius sociopath antagonist renown and reviled the world over try and make sure the players have heard of them. On second thought, just don’t.

I’m going to hold off on my usual spewing of defecation until I hear the reason behind the nerf to Mace (leaving it trash tier slow low range telegraphed) and Hammer (Damage reduction, still slow as all cosmos, shut down by blinds, telegraphed like the sun), but I will say that if these were PvP/WvW changes only they might be better received. Those weapons are trash enough in PvE that they don’t need more nerfs.
They are pvp nerfs, yes. Now, they’ll probably affect pve, but if anything, the reason why cc weapons aren’t good in pve is due to defiance and bad AI. Imagine if pve enemies had lower hp and were able to kite and dodge effectively. :P Those precious seconds that a mace’s or a hammer’s cc would offer would have been very valuable to kill something that a GS wouldn’t… Ahh, how I wish hard pve content was like this! When playing with my staff ele, I would be far more valuable than as a buff bot and as a fire spammer.
Right, we all know defiant and CC in general in PvE is complete bollocs. Honestly the weapons may not even exist in PvE for how useless they are compared to Axe or GS. For the record I don’t want PvE difficulty increased. I’m perfectly fine spamming ChopChopChop. I’d just also like the option to swing a hammer or a mace and not reduce my damage by 70%

Thief Sword 2 nerf was a LONG time coming. Instant stunbreaks on weapons with no CD was ridiculous. I’d love to see a cast time put on Mesmer Staff 2 as well.

They realize they made a terrible mistake and stop leagues.
Alas that will never happen.
We’ll get a press release about how much of a “great turn out” there was according to their metrics, with so many “new players enjoying World vs World” eg getting achievements. Followed by a few weeks of nothi- I’m sorry, balance changes and another mastery line, followed by a week or two of ignoring complaints about the Season reward chest than we’ll be right into Season 2.

Scarlet is refuse.
Almost everything that they could do wrong, they did. Her delivery, her backstory, her motives and methods. The only thing they did right was hire a big name VA for her but they gave her trash lines as well.
The character itself isn’t complete garbage, it’s perhaps a 3 or 4 out of 10, but when you deliver a character with
“Heres my group of pirates that eeeeeeeverybody knows about because we’re so infamous but the player has never heard of until now. P.S. I’m evil and have airships and portals, you can read all about me in this novel on the website that nobody goes to.”

I guess the question is: how many people are actually going to participate in content they don’t enjoy just to get a specific reward and how viable is that situation for the long term health of the game.
I’ll do it 100% of the time since rewards are all you can expect from trash like this.
It’s only viable until the next nonkitten MMO comes out.

My assumption is that shadow return will not be able to break CC with that 1/4 cast time so S/D is effectively dead in PvP.
It’s like a dream come true. Now if only phase retreat could get a 1/4 second cast time.

PvP doesn’t make them money so it has less resources which leads to less income and thereby less resources. Repeat this for a little over a year and you get to where GW2 is now.
It’s just not as profitable as recoloring some weapon skins and putting 1/10th of them in an RNG box at a 10% chance.

Gotta agree with OP, aside from the three he named and some minor norn characters (Not Brahms) there aren’t any necessary/memorable males in this game. (Tybalt was more of a lolxDsorandumApples than an actual character)

What I want ;
Scrap the Current PVP Mystic toilet
Revamp PVP Locker 6 slots per line:
Skins are unlocked and are permanent for all characters; Skins generated this way are unsalvageable just like achievement rewards.Salvaging Still Gives you Dust Slivers etc but not tokens
You can now turn those tokens into valueable prizes; Dyes; Magic Find Dust; Unidentified Minipets; etcGlory can still be used to buy chests; but also allows buying unique weapons at certain ranks at extremely high prices; like at rank 10 you can buy quip for 150k glory. etc.
New Rewards for tournaments like the 5 bags of candy every event.
Rank Rewards from Tournaments now count towards achievements.
New achievements.
This sounds good.

The problem with the double chests is that, the contents of said chests are still completely awful.

The bags with Tomes of knowledge were so much more rewarding than the chests with blues. All in all for people that don’t wvw this will prolly take a while. If you’re in there 6+ hours a day than you’re probably already done.

This just prevents people playing tournaments to play hot join while waiting. Sure you can play hot join, but you won’t be able to get any rank points there since you probably won’t be till the end of the match.

There were restrictions at one point, but the system was not working and was fracturing the playerbase.
What restrictions? Are you talking about the gold/gem restriction of tournament tickets?
If so, those were a ridiculous idea from the get go, asking spvp players to spend cash/play PvE in order to play tPvP.

The big question still remains, how will these new feedback features and collaboration differ from the feedback that has already been constructively and maturely given over the last year?
The problem has never been poor communication between developers and players, it has been developers not acting upon feedback. Over the last year constructive, mature feedback has been given, developers have responded, developers acknowledge and promise to do something about said feedback, then developers fail to deliver on said promise.
I feel like this thread has achieved nothing.
Hi,
As detailed in the thread the point of this initiative is to get us back to a more constructive dialog. We have been super super busy all this year and with the help of the community we are trying to create a sustainable process in which we can have constructive discussion and brainstorming around specific areas of the game without hampering the output or quality of the GW2. We hope that this process works out and that we will see 2 way discussion from the community and devs on a daily basis across all the areas of the game.
To be clear though the goal of the exercise isn’t to be asked to do something and then we go of and implement it. Many community members have already explained in the thread why this isn’t a good approach. Instead we discuss areas of the game, brainstorm, challenge each other and in so doing, this Collaborative Development process will have a meaningful impact on the game. Much more so than anything we have done together in the past.
I hope this makes sense?
Chris
So even though we can have all of these discussions, on Arenanet’s terms, nothing may actually come of it?

We’re working on this right now. Hopefully it will be available in the next PvP drop.
Does that refer to the following balance patch on the 15th of October or does this refer to some in house as of yet to be determined date?

Here’s an idea folks. Maybe if we ask questions with some measure of civility instead of just trying to bash him about our complaints , we MIGHT get some answers?
And maybe, just maybe if we aren’t openly hostile all the time he might continue posting in this forum with the regularity that he used to?
C’mon people. This is an opportunity. Don’t blow it.
Here are the answers.
Please deal with Server pop?
We know server pop is a issue we are thinking about some ideas. When we have something concrete we will let people know.Are you open to taking out Orbs?
Our metrics indicate that orbs are a great mechanic and people love fighting for orbs and it adds a fun aspect to wvw. Orbs are staying.WvW rewards?
Leagues will increase rewards in wvw with new achievements. Rewards will be tied to whichever server you start the season with.Season 1 please stop leagues.
We are open to suggestions and feedback during season 1 and will adjust season 2 if needed. We need season 1 to give us data.This class is op that class is op.
We are balancing classes in the upcoming match and wvw is a priority for us.Orbs have ruined GvG and open field fighting, do you agree?
GvG did violate my game mode so I violated the game mode back. Now we are even.
+100
